Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • C₅H₁₂ is the only <em>reactant</em> that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
  • CO₂ is the only <em>product</em> that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

<em>1 </em>C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only <em>reactant</em> that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only <em>product</em> that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + <em>6</em> H₂O

  • Both CO₂ and H₂O are <em>products</em> that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the <em>product</em> side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + <em>8</em> O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + <em>6</em> H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

  • All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

If 13 grams of copper sulfate is reacted with zinc how much of each product is produced?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

No. Of Moles of zinc = m/Ar

= 13/ 65.38 = 0.198 moles

From balanced equation, Mole ration between CuSO4 and Zn is 1 : 1

So only 0.198 moles of CuSO4 reacts, it is in excess

Mass = no of Moles X Mr

Mass = 0.198 X 159.5 = 31.59 grams

Volume = mass m denisty

Volume j 31.59 / 3.6 = 8.78 ml

Functional groups create active sites in molecules. The polar part of a molecule that can hydrogen bond to water is said be hydr
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Polar/Hydrophilic

Explanation:

Fluorine, Nitrogen and Oxygen are strong electronegative atoms and by definition, Electronegativity is the amount of pull or the high affinity of an atom to electrons.

Polar bond occurs when there is a high difference between the electronegativity value of both atoms that take part in the bond.

A polar molecule has a net dipole from the distribution of its positive and negayive charges. Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic (in chemistry, Polar) are terms dependent on the overall distribution of charge in its molecule.

Therefore, bonds between C-N, C-O and C-Cl are polar covalent bonds a d this is because of the jigh electronegativity possessed by Nitrogen, Oxygen and Chlorine.

Help me with this attachment please​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us recall that the basic rule in writing balanced chemical reaction equations is that the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is the same of the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

The reaction of red hot iron and steam is written as follows;

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.

The decomposition reaction of ammonium dichromate is written as;

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + Cr2O3 + 4H2O

Reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is as follows,

2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ----> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2

Reaction of potassium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid;

2KHCO3 + H2SO4 -------> K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Reaction of zinc and sodium hydroxide is as follows;

Zn + 2NaOH→Na2ZnO2 + H2
