zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon combustion refers to the chemical reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of both hydrogen and carbon. They are most famous for being the primary constituent of fossil fuels, namely natural gas, petroleum, and coal. For this reason, fossil fuel resources are often referred to as hydrocarbon resources.[1] Energy is obtained from fossil fuels through combustion (burning) of the fuel. Although impurities exist in fossil fuels, hydrocarbon combustion is the primary process in the burning of fossil fuel.

An alkaline earth hydroxide, M(OH)2, was taken to lab for analysis. The unknown powder was poured into a flask and swirled in ro
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1.77 * 10^-3

Explanation:

From the titration formula;

Let

CA = concentration of acid

CB = concentration of base

VA = volume of acid

VB = volume of base

NA = number of moles of acid

NB = number of moles of base

The equation of the reaction is;

M(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -------> MCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

So;

CAVA/CBVB= NA/NB

CAVANB = CBVBNA

CB= CAVANB/VBNA

CB= 0.173 * 25.10 * 1/28.5 * 2

CB= 4.3423/57

CB= 0.0762 M

This implies that the solubility of M(OH)2 = 0.0762 M

M(OH)2(s) ----> M^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

So

Ksp = x * (2x)^2

Ksp = 4x^3

x = 0.0762

Ksp= 4(0.0762)^3

Ksp = 1.77 * 10^-3

Predict which of the following would shift the equilibrium to the right in the following reaction. C2H2 + H2O Two arrows stacked
vlada-n [284]
Chemical reaction

C2H2(g) + H2O(g) ⇄ CH2CHO(g)

a) Removing H2O(g) from the system

Remember that Le Chatelier principle states that when an equilibrium is disturbed the system will try to counteract to restate the equilibrim.

If you remove H2O(g) then the equilibrium will be displaced to the left, trying to produce more H2O(g), which means to reduce CH3CHO(g) and increasing the C2H2(g).

b) Adding CH3CHO(g)

To counteract the addition of CH3CHO(g) the system will try to regain equilibrium by producing more reactants: C2H2(g) and H2O(g)

c) Removing C2H2(g)

The system will again displace to the left, that is CH3CHO(g) will reduce and H2O(g) will increase.

d) Adding H2O(g)

The systmen will displace to the right reducing C2H2(g) and increasing CH3CHO(g).
