Answer:

Option C . CO2(g) + H2O(g)

Explanation:

When hydrocarbon undergoes combustion, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are produced.

C2H4(g) + O2(g) —› CO2(g) + H2O(g)

Thus, the product of the unbalanced combustion reaction is:

CO2(g) + H2O(g)

Thus, we can balance the equation as follow:

C2H4(g) + O2(g) —› CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 2 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C2H4(g) + O2(g) —› 2CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

C2H4(g) + O2(g) —› 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

There are a total of 6 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atom on the left side. It can be balanced by putting 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) —› 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Thus, the equation is balanced.

For the reaction, Cl2 + 2KBr --> 2KCl + Br2, how many moles of potassium chloride, KCl, are produced from 102g of potassium b

Sedaia [141]

Solution :

From the balanced chemical equation, we can say that 1 moles of KBr will produce 1 moles of KCl .

Moles of KBr in 102 g of potassium bromide.

n = 102/119.002

n = 0.86 mole.

So, number of miles of KCl produced are also 0.86 mole.

Mass of KCl produced :

$m = 0.86 \times Molar \ mass \ of \ KCl\\\\m = 0.86 \times 74.5 \ gram \\\\m = 64.07\ gram$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Will the calculated Molarity of NaOH be too high or too low or unaffected if the following happen: when you answer the question,

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The result will be affected.

The mass of KHP weighed out was used to calculate the moles of KHP weighed out (moles = mass/molar mass).

Not all the sample is actually KHP if the KHP is a little moist, so when mass was used to determine the moles of KHP, a higher number of moles than what is actually present would be obtained (because some of that mass was not KHP but it was assumed to be so. Therefore, there is actually a less present number of moles than the certain number that was thought of.

During the titration, NaOH reacts in a 1:1 ratio with KHP. So it was determined that there was the same number of moles of NaOH was the volume used as there were KHP in the mass that was weighed out. Since there was an overestimation in the moles of KHP, then there also would be an overestimation in the number of moles of NaOH.

Thus, NaOH will appear at a higher concentration than it actually is.

Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).

g100num [7]

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

Will a double replacement reaction occur if a potassium hydroxide solution is mixed with a lead(II) nitrate solution? Briefly ex

ohaa [14]

No - a precipitation will occur though. Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, so the potassium and nitrate ions will remain spectator ions and stay in solution. Lead (II) hydroxide is not soluble, and will precipitate out of solution to form a solid product.

Magnesium and oxygen balanced

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

2Mg+ O₂= 2MgO
The charge of Mg is+2 and the charge of Oxygen is -2. 2 oxygen atoms will have a charge of -4 so the Mg atoms have to equal +4. A coefficient of 2 for the Mg atoms will balance it out
