C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O .

This reaction is balanced correctly because number of atoms on reactant side and product side are same.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.

While ethanol is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting e

sp2606 [1]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

While ethanol is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene with water vapor at elevated temperatures.

A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 1.5 L flask at 12°C with 1.8 atm of ethylene gas and 4.7 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 1.16 atm of ethylene gas and 4.06 atm of water vapor.

The engineer then adds another 1.2 atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.8 atm

Initial partial pressure of water vapor = 4.7 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.16 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor = 4.06 atm

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethylene gas and water vapor follows:

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 1.8 4.7

At eqllm: 1.8-x 4.7-x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (1.8-x)=1.16\\\\x=0.64$

The expression of $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CH_3CH_2OH}}{p_{CH_2CH_2}\times p_{H_2O}}$

$p_{CH_2CH_2}=1.16atm\\p_{H_2O}=4.06atm\\p_{CH_3CH_2OH}=0.64atm$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_p=\frac{0.64}{1.16\times 4.06}\\\\K_p=0.136$

When more ethylene is added, the equilibrium gets re-established.

Partial pressure of ethylene added = 1.2 atm

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 2.36 4.06 0.64

At eqllm: 2.36-x 4.06-x 0.64+x

Putting value in the equilibrium constant expression, we get:

$0.136=\frac{(0.64+x)}{(2.36-x)\times (4.06-x)}\\\\x=0.363,13.41$

Neglecting the value of x = 13.41 because equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene and water vapor will become negative, which is not possible.

So, equilibrium partial pressure of ethanol = (0.64 + x) = (0.64 + 0.363) = 1.003 atm

Hence, the partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

Which change happens when a fan is turned on?

fgiga [73]

Answer:

D. Electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy

Explanation:

When you turn on the fan, the electricity that is given through the power outlet allows the fan to have the available energy to spins the fan blades. By the fan's blades spinning, this is a movement that can be described as mechanical energy.
