Did a chemical reaction occur while the candle was burning?

a compound has a percent compostion of carbon equal to 48.8383%, hydrogen equal to 8.1636%, and oxygen equal to 43.1981%. what i

Margarita [4]

Answer:

C₂H₃O

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Carbon (C) = 48.8383%

Hydrogen (H) = 8.1636%

Oxygen (O) = 43.1981%

Empirical formula =?

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

C = 48.8383%

H = 8.1636%

O = 43.1981%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.8383 / 12 = 4.07

H = 8.1636 / 1 = 8.1636

O = 43.1981 / 16 = 2.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 4.07 / 2.7 = 2

H = 8.1636 / 2.7 = 3

O = 2.7 /2.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₂H₃O

Consider the following reactions and their respective equilibrium constants: NO(g)+12Br2(g)⇌NOBr(g)Kp=5.3 2NO(g)⇌N2(g)+O2(g)Kp=2

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant of the given reaction is $1.3\times 10^{-29}$

Explanation:

$NO+\frac{1}{2}Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons NOBr$ .... $(K_{p})_{1}=5.3$

$2NO\rightleftharpoons N_{2}+O_{2}$ .... $(K_{p})_{2}=2.1\times 10^{30}$

The given reaction can be written as summation of the following reaction-

$2NO+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

$N_{2}+O_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NO$

......................................................................................

$N_{2}+O_{2}+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr$

Equilibrium constant of this reaction is given as-

$\frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}][Br_{2}]}$

$=(\frac{[NOBr]}{[NO][Br_{2}]^{\frac{1}{2}}})^{2}(\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]})$

$=\frac{(K_{p})_{1}^{2}}{(K_{p})_{2}}$

$=\frac{(5.3)^{2}}{2.1\times 10^{30}}=1.3\times 10^{-29}$

Which chemical equation represents a decomposition reaction?

MrMuchimi

Decomposition reaction D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Every chemical reaction involves a compound consisting of reactants and products

Reactants are compounds that react and form new compounds called products

There are several forms of reactions that can occur, including single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition, etc.

A. 2C2H6 + 702 ⇒ 4CO2 + 6H20

Combustion : reaction of Hydrocarbon and Oxygen

B. AgNO3 + LiCl → AgCl + LINO3

Double replacement : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

C. Ca + MgS → CaS + Mg

Single replacement :one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

Decomposition : One compound breaks down into 2 components

For a theoretical yield of 2.97 g and percent yield of 93.4452%, calculate the actual yield for a chemical reaction. Answer in u

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2.77532244 grams

Explanation:

Percent yeild=actual/theoretical * 100

Plug in the values

93.4452=actual/2.97 *100

0.934452*2.97=2.77532244
