Answer: carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced chemical reaction of oxidation of glucose is given by:

$C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O$

Thus all the carbons of glucose are oxidized to carbon dioxide and all the hydrogens are oxidized to water.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

About 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline. On the other hand, 22.38 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of diesel. So, different fossil fuels will give different amounts of carbon dioxide to be released.

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below , please.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a certain compound is "broken" to give two or more different products.

An example for compound AB, giving as products A and B:

AB -> A + B

In the case of water:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02, water decomposes giving Hydrogen and Oxygen

18. Use the activity series to predict whether the following synthesis reaction will occur. Write the chemical equations for the

MAXImum [283]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical reaction for the synthesis reaction is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Synthesis reaction is defined as a chemical reaction in which two small chemical substances combine together to form a single compound. The general equation for this chemical reaction follows:

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

For the reaction of calcium and oxygen combining together to form calcium oxide, the equation follows:

$2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)$

By Stoichiometry,

2 moles of calcium element combines together with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of calcium oxide.

Hence, the chemical equation for the reaction is given above.

An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon

kow [346]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 37.5 g

Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g

Molecular weight = 32 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125

Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4

Atomic ratio:

C : H

3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125

1 : 4

C : H : = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 32 / 16

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)

Molecular formula = C₂H₈
