Answer:

Complete Combustion

One of the types of combustion is Complete Combustion. Complete combustion occurs in an unlimited supply of air, oxygen in particular. Also, complete combustion is also known as clean combustion. Here the hydrocarbon will burn out completely with the oxygen and leave only two byproducts, water, and carbon dioxide.

An example of this is when a candle burns. The heat from the wick will vaporize the wax which reacts with the oxygen in the air. The two products of the reaction are water and carbon dioxide. In an ideal situation all the wax burns up and complete combustion takes place

2] Incomplete Combustion

Incomplete combustion takes place when the air is in limited supply. And as opposed to complete combustion it is otherwise known as dirty combustion. Due to lack of oxygen, the fuel will not react completely. This, in turn, produces carbon monoxide and soot instead of carbon dioxide.

An example is burning of paper. It leaves behind ash (a form of soot) as a byproduct. In a complete combustion, the only products are water and carbon dioxide. Also, incomplete combustion produces less energy than complete combustion.

3] Rapid Combustion

Another type of combustion is Rapid Combustion. Rapid energy needs external heat energy for the reaction to occur. The combustion produces a large amount of heat and light energy and does so rapidly. The combustion will carry on as long as the fuel is available.

An example is when you light a candle. The heat energy is provided when we light the candle with a matchstick. And it will carry on till the wax burns out. Hence it is a rapid combustion

4] Spontaneous Combustion

As the name suggests the combustion occurs spontaneously. This means that it requires no external energy for the combustion to start. It happens due to self-heating. A substance with low-ignition temperatures gets heated and this heat is unable to escape.

The temperature rises above ignition point and in the presence of sufficient oxygen combustion will happen. The reaction of alkali metals with water is an example.

5] Explosive Combustion

Explosive Combustion happens when the reaction occurs very rapidly. The reaction occurs when something ignites to produce heat, light and sound energy, The simple way to describe is it to call it an explosion. Some classic examples are firecrackers or blowing up of dynamite.

.7 liters of CO represents how many molecules?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

               1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Explanation:

At STP for an ideal gas,

Volume = Mole × 22.4 L/mol

Or,

Mole = Volume / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.7 L / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.03125 moles

Now,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 0.03125 × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

How do you determine how much alum can be dissolved in 10 ml of hot deionized water to make a saturated solution??
xeze [42]
You need to monitor the solution to see when the crystals start gathering at the bottom of the solution. You can slowly add alum until it stops dissolving. The point just before it starts its sedimentation at the bottom is the point when the solution is saturated.
