Answer:

A. write balanced chemical equation (including states), for this process.

Explanation:

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve

[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam.

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left.

Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction:

C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything

to get rid of the fraction:

2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in...

C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions.

Bingel [31]

The two elements that have the same properties as sodium are potassium and rubidium .

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

The periodic table is an arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.

From the list, the two elements that have the same properties as sodium are potassium and rubidium .

Proton has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 40. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. Given that the atomic number is the number of protons present, we have 20 electrons and 20 protons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

= 40 - 20 = 20 neutrons

2. Suppose that 21.37 mL of NaOH is needed to titrate 10.00 mL of 0.1450 M H2SO4 solution.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.1357 M

Explanation:

(a) The balanced reaction is shown below as:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

(b) Moles of $H_2SO_4$ can be calculated as:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Or,

$Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Given :

For $H_2SO_4$ :

Molarity = 0.1450 M

Volume = 10.00 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 10×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of $H_2SO_4$ :

$Moles=0.1450 \times {10\times 10^{-3}}\ moles$

Moles of $H_2SO_4$ = 0.00145 moles

From the reaction,

1 mole of $H_2SO_4$ react with 2 moles of NaOH

0.00145 mole of $H_2SO_4$ react with 2*0.00145 mole of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 0.0029 moles

Volume = 21.37 mL = 21.37×10⁻³ L

Molarity = Moles / Volume = 0.0029 / 21.37×10⁻³ M = 0.1357 M

The compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr

Rina8888 [55]

<u>Answer:</u> The expression of $K_b$ is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound which is trimethylamine that acts as a weak base when dissolved in water.

It accepts a proton from the water to form trimethylammonium ion and hydroxide ion.

The chemical equation for the reaction of trimethylamine in water follows:

$(CH_3)_3N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons (CH_3)_3NH^++OH^-$

The expression of $K_b$ for above equation follows:

$K_b=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}$

Hence, the expression of $K_b$ is written above.
