Answer:

16:1

Explanation:

Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.

mX = 32 mY   [1]

where,

  • mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively

A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:

mX/2 mY  [2]

If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:

mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1

Answer:

Scientific Explanation of weather change and cause storms is described below in detail.

Explanation:

The weather is just the nature of the environment at any time, including items such as warmth, rainfall, air pressure, and cloud shelter. Daily variations in the weather are due to storms and winds. Seasonal variations are due to the Earth spinning nearby the sun. Warm beginnings often produce stormy weather as the heated air mass at the exterior rises above the cool air mass, creating clouds and storms.

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?
denpristay [2]

Another product: CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8__+ 10H₂O

Required

product compound

Solution

In the combustion of hydrocarbons there can be 2 kinds of products

If there is excess Oxygen, you will get Carbon dioxide(CO₂) and water in the product

If Oxygen is low, you'll get Carbon monoxide(CO) and water

Or in other ways, we can use the principle of the law of conservation of mass which is also related to the number of atoms in the reactants and in the products

if we look at the reaction above, there are C atoms on the left (reactants), so that in the product there will also be C atoms with the same number of C atoms on the left

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8CO₂+ 10H₂O

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The mole balance for a constant-volume batch reactor is given such as, For a first-order isothermal reaction, the time to reach a given conversion is the same for constant-pressure and constant-volume reactors. Also, the time is the same for a reaction of any order if there is no change in the number of moles.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step solution of the given problem.
