The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:

C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g)

From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of CO_{2} gas.

Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,

n=\frac{1.5\times 10^{3} g}{12 g/mol}=125mol

The same moles of CO_{2} is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass of CO_{2} is 44 g/mol thus,

m=125mol\times 44 g/mol=5.5\times 10^{3}g

Converting mass into kg,

1g=10^{-3}kg

Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.

The following chemical reaction occurs in a basic solution.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

6 moles of electrons

Explanation:

Let us consider the species NO3− and ClO−. The NO3− is oxidized to NO the oxidation number of nitrogen is decreased from +5 to +2.

The oxidation number of chlorine is increased from +1 to +3. This implies that six electrons were transferred in the balanced reaction equation shown in the question. Hence the answer.

How do you tell if an element is a solid, liquid or gas (ex. Na2S)
svetoff [14.1K]
Solids have a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume, but have no definite shape.
Gas have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following reactions involves a single compound producing two or more simpler substances?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

In a decomposition or cracking reaction, a single compound produces two or more simpler substances.

It involves the formation of two or more products from a single reactant.

  A →  B + C

A is the single reactant

B and C are the products

The driving force for such a reaction is the is high positive heat of formation of the compound that is, extreme instability of the compound.
