Answer:

10.5 L of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 90 g of C₂H₆. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of C₂H₆ = (12×2) + (6×1)

= 24 + 6

= 30 g/mol

Mass of C₂H₆ = 90 g

Mole of C₂H₆ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₂H₆ = 90 / 30

Mole of C₂H₆ = 3 moles.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of O₂ required. This is illustrated:

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced equation above, we can say that:

2 L of C₂H₆ required 7 L of O₂.

Therefore, 3 L of C₂H₆ will require

= (3 × 7)/ 2 = 10.5 L of O₂.

Thus, 10.5 L of O₂ is required for the reaction.

What is meant by the term chemical reaction

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<h3> $\huge{ \underline{ \underline { \bold{ \sf{ \orange{See \: below}}}}}}$ </h3>

Explanation:

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \blue{Chemical \: reaction}}}}$

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{ \: Further \: more \: explanation}}}}$

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

▪️ $\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{For \: example}}}}$

When nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia :

What three (3) factors determine the reactivity of elements? Explain and give examples of each.

Degger [83]

Explanation:

The three factors which determine the reactivity of elements are as follows.

(1) Number of valence electrons.

(2) Size of an atom.

(3) Electro negativity of an atom.

All these factors are explained as follows.

(1) Number of valence electrons

According to the octet rule, every atom requires to attain stability. Therefore, number of electrons in the outermost shell will decide the reactivity of an atom as every atom needs to fill its shells or sub shells as per the octet rule. As a result, the reactivity increases.

For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}$

In the 3p sub shell, there is deficiency of one electron. So, in order to attain stability chlorine atom will react readily with another species or atom which can either donate or share one electron.

Whereas an atom with completely fill shell will have low reactivity.

(2) Size of an atom

On moving down the group size of atom increases. As a result, the attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases due to the shielding effect. Thus, the larger is an atom, the more easily it can give electrons. Therefore, the reactivity increases.

For example, the atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}$

Also it is known that first shell of every atom can have 2 electrons, second shell can have 8 electrons, third shell can have 18 electrons and so on.

Since, calcium is larger in size as compared to beryllium and magnesium so it will readily loose 2 electrons to attain stability. Thus, it will attain a $Ca^{2+}$ charge.

(3) Electro negativity of an atom

An atom with uneven distribution of electrons will acquire a certain amount of charge. Thus, it becomes polar in nature and in order to gain stability, the atom will either loose or gain electrons according to its charge.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{5}$ .

So, in order to gain stability fluorine will readily accept 1 electron to completely fill its 2p sub shell. As a result, the electronic configuration will become $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Therefore, fluorine will have a charge of -1 because it has gained one electron.

Kepler’s second law of planetary motion states which of the following?

aev [14]

Kepler stated three laws of planetary motion.

First law states that the pathway of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.

Second law states that an imaginary line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas during equal lengths of time.

Third law states that the square of the period of the orbit of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the length of the distance from the Sun.

Therefore, the answer is that Kepler's second law of planetary motion states that planets cover the same area during equal time periods.
