Answer:
5.90 moles of ethane, C₂H₆, is burned in an excess of oxygen to produce 11.8 moles of CO₂.
Explanation:
To answer the question, we examine the chemical reaction as follows
2C₂H₆ ( g ) + 7O₂ ( g ) ⟶ 4CO₂ ( g ) + 6H₂O ( g )
From the chemical reaction it is seen that 2 moles of ethane, C₂H₆, is required to produce 4 moles of CO₂
This means that 1 mole of C₂H₆, is required to produce 2 moles of CO₂
Since we are asked to find out how many moles of CO 2 are produced when 5.90 moles of ethane is burned in an excess of oxygen and we already know that 1 mole of C₂H₆, is required to produce 2 moles of CO₂, we multiply both the 1 mole of C₂H₆ and the 2 moles of CO₂ by 5.90 to obtain;
(5.90 × 1 mole) of C₂H₆ is required to produce (5.90× 2 moles) of CO₂ or
5.90 moles of C₂H₆ is required to produce 11.8 moles of CO₂.
Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the water molecule is polar.
climate change and it could make it harder for us as humans and animals to breath move or doing everyday tasks
Answer:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of the molecules been referred to in the question. However, the molecules been referred to in the question is in the attachment below
Explanation:
First of all, we have to define lewis acid and lewis base.
A lewis acid is a substance that has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons. For example, H⁺. While a lewis base is a substance that is capable of donating a pair of electrons (to a lewis acid). For example, OH⁻.
Going by the definitions above, we can deduce the type of substance the molecules in the question (attachment) are
a. BF₃ (boron trifluoride) is a lewis acid because the central atom (as suggested to be focused on in the question) which is <u>boron, has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u>.
b. The central atom (carbon) in the compound (2-methyl propane) <u>also has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u> since it is positively charged (is electron deficient). Hence, it is a lewis acid.
c. The functional group in this compound (trimethyl borate) is the ether. Ethers are generally lewis bases because the oxygen atom in an ether can donate a pair of electrons from it's lone pair. However, the <u>presence of boron which is central to the compound</u> shows it is also a lewis acid, although weak (majorly due to the presence of the ethers).
