C₂H₄O₂ + O₂ ➞ CO₂ + H₂O

Chemistry
1 answer:
densk [106]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C2H4O2 + 2O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

Start with the carbons

C2H4O2 + O2 ==> 2CO2 + H2O There are 2 on the left, so you need 2 on the right.

Next deal with the hydrogens. You have 4 on the left so you have to make 4 on the right

C2H4O2 + O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

The oxygens are the real devil in this question. Be careful how you handle them. There are 2 * 2 = 4 from the CO2 and 2*1 = 2 from the water. The total is 6

Now you can't just put a 3 in front of the O2. There are 2 in the given chemical. So you don't need 6. You need 6 -2 = 4. But the oxygen is O2. You have to divide the 4 by 2 to get 2

C2H4O2 + 2O2 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O  

And that's your answer.

How much energy is released when 0.40 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen?
Vsevolod [243]
 <span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law. 
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C. 
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3 
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12 
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation. 
Then, 
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ 
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ 
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ 
______________________________________... 
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ 
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>

What is the value of delta Hrxn for this equation:
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The ΔHrxn for the above equation = 179 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the reactant;

3 × N-H = 3 × 390 = 1,170 kJ/mol

2 × O=O = 2 × 502 = 1004 kJ/mol

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the product;

3 × N-O = 3 × 201 = 603 kJ/mol

3 × O-H = 3 × 464 = 1,392 kJ/mol

The ΔHrxn for the above equation is therefore;

ΔHrxn = 1,170 + 1,004 - (603 + 1,392) = 179 kJ/mol

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related
AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

How does the strength of a metallic bond compared to other types of bonds?
Bess [88]

While metallic bonds have the strong electrostatic force of attractions between the cation or atoms and the delocalized electrons in the geometrical arrangement of the two metals. ... Metallic bonds are malleable and ductile, while covalent bonds and ionic bonds non-malleable and non-ductile.
