Why does an incomplete combustion reaction occur?

1 answer:

8 0

Incomplete combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced instead of carbon dioxide. ... Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, which is one reason why complete combustion is preferred to incomplete combustion.

Complete the chart. (Remember to enter a "0" if necessary.)

Just remember how many electrons can each sublevel hold.

S=2
P=6
D=10

Since we have 10 for atomic number, we can assume we have 10 electrons

1S2
2S2
2P6
The rest have zero because we already have 10 (2+2+6=10)

If you need to reverse the following reaction in order for it to be an intermediate reaction in a Hess's law problem, what would

Olin [163]

When reversing a given reaction, we simply change the sign of the standard enthalpy change value. Therefore, the reaction will become:
H₂O → H₂ + 0.5O₂, ΔH = 286kJ
This is because if a certain amount of energy is released when a reaction occurs, the same amount of energy must be supplied for the reaction to occur in the reverse direction.

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

$C_3H_7$

- Molecular:

$C_6H_{14}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

$n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC$

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

$n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH$

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

$C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}$

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

$C_3H_7$

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

$C_6H_{14}$

Which is hexane.

Best regards.
