Please help I need the answer now. Write a balanced equation for combustion of pentane in plenty supply of air and in limited su

Ratling [72]

Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
CO₂ is the only product that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + ? H₂O

Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only reactant that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only product that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

1 C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Both CO₂ and H₂O are products that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the product side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

Which of the following statements regarding alpha particles are true? Check all that apply.a. Alpha particles have a mass number

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The only true statement is:

a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4

Explanation:

Alpha particles are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number: 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1: false

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron and d. Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton. (both false)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.
