Answer:
Explanation:
At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).
Hence, the <em>complete combustion reaction</em> that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.
Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).
A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.
<u>a. C₂H₄:</u>
- C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.
The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.
<u>b. C₂H₂:</u>
- 2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.
<u>с. С₃Н₈</u>
- C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂
<u>d. C₂H₆</u>
- 2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
The equilibrium constant of the reaction is represented by the symbol K. Thus, option C is the correct and accurate statement about the equilibrium constant.
<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>
The equilibrium constant is a representation of the concentration of the products and the reactants of the reaction that is raised to the powers through their stoichiometry coefficient.
Its value varies and changes at different temperatures and is not always less than 1. The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the coefficient of the products to reactants.
Therefore, option C. equilibrium constant is represented by K is true.
