Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

Because alkanes have a general formula of CnH(2n+2).

We known that 2n+2=6, so we solve for n.

2n+2=6

2n=4

n=2

Thus, there are 2 carbon atoms.

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

General formula for alkanes

C _{n}H _{2n + 2}

since H = 6

2n + 2 = 6 \\ 2n = 4 \\ n = 2 \\ since \: x = n\\   \therefore \: x = 2

176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its \Delta H can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.

Let the three equations with \Delta H given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let a, b, and c be letters such that a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3) = (4). This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.

There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, 3 + (-1) = 2 shall resemble the number of \text{H}_2 left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

  • \text{NH}_4 \text{Cl} \; (s): -2 \; a = 1
  • \text{NH}_3\; (g): -2 \; b = -1
  • \text{HCl} \; (g): 2 \; c = -1

Thus

a = -1/2\\b = 1/2\\c = -1/2 and

-\frac{1}{2} \times (1) + \frac{1}{2} \times (2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (3)= (4)

Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- \text{N}_2 \; (g) for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.

a + b = -1/2 + 1/2 = 0

Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.

\Delta H _{(4)} = -\frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(1)} + \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(2)} - \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(3)}\\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = -\frac{1}{2} \times (-628.9)+ \frac{1}{2} \times (-92.2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (184.7) \\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = 176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

Magnesium ribbon reacts vigorously with hydrochloric acid. The test tube gets hot and bubbles are produced. When a metal reacts
oee [108]
The answer is C, hydrogen gas. This is because in single replacement reactions, the single element (here Magnesium) replaces whichever element in the compound it corresponds to. Because Mg loses electrons since it’s a metal, it will replace the element which also loses electrons, which is Hydrogen here. So when they switch places, MgCl2 and H2 are made— and H2 is the hydrogen gas.
