Answer:
The correct statements are:
The rate of disappearance of B is twice the rate of appearance of C.
Explanation:
Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.
3A + 2B → C + 2D
Rate of the reaction:
The rate of disappearance of B is twice the rate of appearance of C.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be and
. The
and
would come from the hydrocarbon, while the
atoms would come from oxygen.
Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:
Calculate the molar mass of and
:
.
Calculate the number of moles of molecules in
of
:
.
Similarly, calculate the number of moles of molecules in
of
:
.
Note that there is one carbon atom in every molecule. Approximately
of
molecules would correspond to the same number of
atoms. That is:
.
On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every molecule. approximately
of
molecules would correspond to twice as many
atoms. That is:
.
The ratio between the two is: .
The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be .
