Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

                Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of BeCl_{2} is as follows.

              Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]

                                    = 2

Hybridization of BeCl_{2} is sp. Therefore, BeCl_{2} is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of XeF_{2} is calculated as follows.

         Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]

                                    = 5

Therefore, hybridization of XeF_{2} is sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2} is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options XeF_{2} is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.

An element is a pure substance in which there are how many kinds of atoms?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

One

Explanation:

An element is a pure substance in which there are only one kind of atom. Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

Such substances consists of only one kind of atom. There are over a hundred known elements to date.

Generally, as a pure substance, the composition of an element is definite and they are homogenous in all parts.
