Question:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]2 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

What is the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen
natta225 [31]
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles

Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles

Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles

EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements

So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1

Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O

What happens in a decomposition reaction​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

It breaks down into multiple elements

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in witch a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compound
