Nat2105 [25]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

CH2

Explanation:

The empirical formula gives the lowest whole number ratio of the elements. In this case, both subscripts can be divided by 20, hence CH2.

Write the balanced chemical equation where liquid decane burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Use the
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.

Bumek [7]

%yield = 54.6%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

(theoretical)

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

<h3 />

Reaction

2ZnS+3O₂ ⇒ 2ZnO+2SO₂

MW ZnS = 97.474 g/mol

  • mol ZnS

\tt \dfrac{150}{97.474}=1.54

MW ZnO = 81.38 g/mol

  • mol ZnO (from mol ZnS as limiting reactant, O₂ excess)

\tt \dfrac{2}{2}\times 1.54=1.54

  • Actual ZnO produced

\tt 1.54\times 81.38=125.33~g

Theoretical production = 125.388

  • %yield

\tt \dfrac{68.5}{125.33}\times 100\%=\boxed{\bold{54.6\%}}

the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves to the left, and the yield of ammonia decreases.
igomit [66]

Answer:i don't rlly get the question but this is what i found on the internet :/

Explanation:

When the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves in the endothermic direction to reduce the temperature. ... This means that as the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves to the left, and the yield of ammonia decreases.
