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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]2 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

A local am radio station broadcasts at a wavelength of 349m, calculate the energy of the wavelength at which it is broadcasting?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

E = 5.69x10⁻²⁸m

Explanation:

To solve this question we neeed to convert the wavelength in meters to energy in joules using the equation:

E = hc / λ

<em>Where E is energy in joules, h is Planck's constant = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js</em>

<em>c is light constant = 3.0x10⁸m/s</em>

<em>And λ is wavelength in meters = 349m</em>

Replacing:

E = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js*3.0x10⁸m/s / 349m

E = 5.69x10⁻²⁸m

Explain why it is necessary to balance chemical equations in terms of maintaining equilibrium. How can you tell when a chemical
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

Draw structures from the following names, and determine which compounds are optically active:(c) 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane
dolphi86 [110]

The given compound 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center  of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has  chiral center.

Here , the chiral carbon is attached to the 4 distinct groups such as :  methyl , ethyl , bromine , bromomethane .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group  is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .
