Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed

Write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of acetic acid (ch3cooh), the main active ingredient in vinega

pantera1 [17]

A combustion reaction usually happens when a hydrocarbon is reacted with an oxygen molecule producing water and carbon dioxide. It is an exothermic reaction which means it releases heat as the process proceeds. It is a spontaneous process where it readily happens without any supply of energy. The total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the activation energy that is why heat is being released. Acetic acid is a carboxylic acid and is classified as a hydrocarbon so when reacted with oxygen, it would yield carbon dioxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows

CH3COOH + 2 O2 = 2 CO2 +2 H2O

A sample of gas is held at 100oc at a volume of 20 L.if the volume is increased to 40 L what is the new temperature of the gas i

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

470 °C

Explanation:

This looks like a case where we can use Charles’ Law:

$\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Data:

V₁ = 20 L; T₁ = 100 °C

V₂ = 40 L; T₂ = ?

Calculations:

(a) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (100 + 273.15) K = 373.15 K

(b) Calculate the new temperature

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}& =&\dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\ \dfrac{\text{20 L}}{\text{373.15 K}} &=&\dfrac{\text{40 L}}{T_{2}}\\\\{\text{15 000 K}} & = & 20T_{2}\\T_{2} & = &\dfrac{\text{15 000 K}}{20 }\\\\T_{2} & = & \textbf{750 K}\\\end{array}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for the volumes.

(c) Convert the temperature to Celsius

T₂ = (750 – 273.15) °C = 470 °C
