A substance has a triple point at −24.5 ∘C and 225 mmHg. What is most likely to happen to a solid sample of the substance as it
is warmed from −35 ∘C to 5 ∘C at a pressure of 210 mmHg?Nothing (the solid will remain as a solid).The solid will sublime into a gas.The solid will melt into a liquid.
1 answer:
Answer:
The solid will sublime into a gas
Explanation:
In the graph in the attachment
Y-axis represents pressure in mm of Hg
X- axis represents temperature in degree Celsius
The graph show the triple point of water.
Clearly, the sample will go from solid to vapor directly, no liquid involved (pink line is there to show that this is below triple point)
So
expect sublimation
The solid will sublime into a gas.

<h3>Balanced equation : 2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains
General formula for alkanes :
Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)
So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)
or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction
C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)
C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2
H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3
O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2
