Question:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The laboratory demonstration consists of the following;

The compounds present in the combustion reaction = Methane, CH₄ and Oxygen, O₂

The chemical equation for the combustion reaction is given as follows;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Therefore;

A. The equation given as CH₄ + O → CO₂ is not correct because;

1) Oxygen gas exist as diatomic molecules, O₂, and given that the experiment involves the mixture of gases, the oxygen gas present which can exist as a separate compound, should be represented as O₂

2) The number of oxygen molecules in the reaction is two rather than one

3) The product also includes two molecules of water (vapor) H₂O

B. The correct equation for the reaction should be given as follows;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

B i) The constituents of the equation is obtained by the knowledge of the fact that the combustion reaction of an organic substance such as methane in the presence of oxygen yields, carbon dioxide and water (vapor)

The equation showing the relative amounts the reacting compounds is by balancing the basic equation of the combustion of methane in the presence of oxygen

How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.
  • Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.
  • Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.

How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element
yaroslaw [1]

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

2. Nitric oxide contains 46.66% nitrogen and 53.34% oxygen. Water contains 11.21% hydrogen and 88.79% oxygen. Ammonia contains 1
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The law of reciprocal proportions states that if two elements react individually with a given weight of a third element, the ratio of the masses with which they combine with the third element are either the same or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses with which they combine with each other

The compounds formed includes;

1) Nitric oxide, NO

Nitrogen = 46.66% × 30.01 = 14

Oxygen = 53.34% × 30.01 = 16

2) Water, H₂O

Hydrogen = 11.21% × 18.01528 = 2

Oxygen = 88.79% × 18.01528 ≈ 16

3) Ammonia, NH₃

Hydrogen = 17.78% × 17.031 ≈ 3

Nitrogen = 82.22% × 17.031 ≈ 14

The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in nitric oxide = 14:16 = 7:8

The ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in ammonia = 14:3

The ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen combine with nitrogen = 3/16

The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen combine with each other in water = 2/16

Therefore, the ratio with which hydrogen and oxygen combine with nitrogen, is (2/3) times the ratio with which they combine with each other, which verifies the law of reciprocal proportions
