C3H8 + xO2 > 3CO2 + yH2O which value of x and y balance the equations

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5 and y =4

Explanation:

An alkane is a hydrocarbon of general molecular formula CnH2n+2. The general formula for balancing the combustion equation of any alkane is;

CnH2n+2 + 3n+1/2O2 ------> nCO2 + (n+1) H2O

Where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.

In C3H8 , n=3 so;

C3H2(3)+2 + 3(3)+1/2O2 ------> 3CO2 + (3+1) H2O

Then;

C3H8 + 5O2  ------> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Therefore;

x = 5 and y =4

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, ice caps.

Explanation:

The part of the planet Earth covered by water or ice is known as the hydrosphere. It comprises lakes, oceans, rivers, polar ice caps, and glaciers. The polar ice caps and glaciers are the only elements of solid found in the hydrosphere.  

The other options, that is, lakes and rivers are also a part of hydrosphere but they are in liquid form. While rainforest and rocks and minerals are the parts of the lithosphere, not hydrosphere.

What is the pressure of a mixture of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) if partial pressure of N2 is 594 mm Hg and the partial pressu
ipn [44]

Answer:

Total pressure = 759 mmHg

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of oxygen = 165 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 594 mmHg

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Total pressure = P(O₂) +  P(N₂)

Total pressure =  165 mmHg + 594 mmHg

Total pressure = 759 mmHg

As a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, the average distance between molecules..
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: increases

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states, they are solids, liquids and gases. And each of them contains molecules with a certain amount of kinetic energy.

Hence, the addition of heat changes a substance from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization, whereby liquid molecules on changing to gases acquire a higher kinetic energy, and move more freely within the containing vessel.

Thus, the higher kinetic energy explains the increase in the average distance between molecules.
