Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

5C + 6O2 = ? What will be the product of molecules formed from this equation?
harina [27]

Answer:5 moles ofCarbonmonoxide and 3.5 moles of oxygen gas.This in combine to yield carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

5C + 6O2----------5CO + 7/2O2.

When carbon combine with oxygen, carbon monoxide is formed first and it later recombine with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide.

Which choice represents a pair of resonance structures? Note that lone pairs have been omitted for clarity. View Available Hint(
stepladder [879]

Answer:

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

Explanation:

Resonance:                                                                                                                

          When the electron distribution on the molecule become uneven like one molecule have more electron compare to other.Resonance occurs due to overlap of the orbitals.When electron flow through pi system then resonance occurs.

So the option A is correct.

A. O=C=O and O≡C−O

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 5.40×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.100 M, what will the
IceJOKER [234]

Answer : The concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Explanation :

The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration at time 't'  (final) = ?

[C_o] = concentration at time '0' (initial) = 0.100 M

k = rate constant = 5.40\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = time = 17.0 min = 1020 s (1 min = 60 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.100)\times e^{-(5.40\times 10^{-3})\times (1020)}

[C_t]=4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Thus, the concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M
