3 0

Answer:

0.0063 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 9 H₂O(g)

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8.

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of C₈H₁₈ needed to produce 0.050 moles of CO₂

0.050 mol CO₂ × 1 mol C₈H₁₈/8 mol CO₂ = 0.0063 mol C₈H₁₈

If kc = 0.143 at 25°c for this reaction, predict the direction in which the system will shift if the initial concentrations of c
GenaCL600 [577]
The equation is as follows:
Cyclohexane (C6H12) ⇔ Methyl cyclopentane (C6H12)
The equilibrium constant Kc = 0.143 >>> (1)
Qc is the reaction quotient 
where; If Q = K >>>> No shift left or right >>> (2)
Q > K >>>> Reaction shifts left >>> (3)
Q < K >>>> Reaction shifts right >>> (4) 
And in our equation; Q = 0.3 / 0.4 = 0.75 >>> (5) 
From (1), (3) and (5), Q > Kc 
∴ the reaction shifts left

how is substitution reaction in alkanes different from dehydrogenation reaction since both involve removing a hydrogen atom from
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A substitution reaction means the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane by another atom or group. It does not introduce a double bond into the product. The product retains single bonds between the species present.

For instance;

CH4 + Cl2 -------> CH3Cl +HCl

is a substitution reaction

Dehydrogenation is the process of removing two hydrogen atoms from a saturated compound compound thereby yielding an unsaturated product.

E.g

C2H6 --------->C2H4 + H2

The key difference is that substitution reaction yields a saturated product while dehydrogenation yields an unsaturated product.

why would you expect to see similar rocks and rock structures on two land masses that were connected at one time?
tangare [24]
If they were connected at one time than you would expect to find similar rock structures because they eroded, weathered, and we’re formed most likely at the same time out of the same material. So basically since they were near each other they were under the same or similar conditions.
