A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a substance with oxygen gas. The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon (binary c

ompound of carbon and hydrogen) produces carbon dioxide and water as the only products. Heptane is a hydrocarbon that is found in gasoline. Complete combustion of heptane produces 7 liters of carbon dioxide for every 8 liters of water vapor (both measured at the same temperature and pressure). What is the ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of heptane

5 0

Answer:

7/16

Explanation:

The general formula for the combustion of alkanes is;

CnH2n+2 + 3n+1/2 O2  -------> nCO2 + (n+1)H2O

So, we have;

CnHn + nO2 ------> 7CO2 + 8H2O

So there are 7 carbon atoms and 16 hydrogen atoms in heptane according to the law of conservation of mass.

Therefore, heptane is; C7H16

The ratio of carbon to hydrogen is now; 7/16

Electron affinity is the measure of the attraction of an electron toward an isolated gaseous atom. When an electron is added to
zhuklara [117]

False

Explanation:

Electron affinity is negative when energy is absorbed and it is positive when energy is released.

Electron affinity is defined as the energy released in adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase.

It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to gain an electron.

In a reaction where energy is released, electron affinity is usually positive. These reactions are called exothermic reactions.

Endothermic reactions in which energy is absorbed have negative electron affinity values.

Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.
____ [38]

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.
