Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Explanation:

${\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Among the four species in this reaction, $\rm C_3H_8$ is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is $1$ .

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $1 \times 3 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $1 \times 8 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm CO_2$ is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas $\rm H_2O$ is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These $3$ carbon atoms and $8$ hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

$3 / 1 = 3$ $\rm CO_2$ molecules, and
$8 / 2 = 4$ $\rm H_2O$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $3 \times 1 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $4 \times 2 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : $3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10$ .

The number of $\rm O$ atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm O_2$ is the only reactant with $\rm O\!$ atoms. These $10$ $\rm \! O$ atoms would correspond to:

$5$ $\rm O_2$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Sort these isotopes by whether they are most likely to undergo fusion or fission.

Maslowich

Answer:

Uranium-233- fission

Plutonium-239- fission

Plutonium-241- fission

Hydrogen-3 fusion

Hydrogen-1 fusion

Helium-3 fusion

Explanation:

In nuclear fission, heavy nuclear disintegrate into smaller nuclei when bombarded with particles such as neutrons. Fission reaction is common among nuclei having a high atomic number such as plutonium and uranium.

Fusion occurs between two light nuclei such as hydrogen or helium. It involves the combination of two lighter elements to give a heavier element with the release of tremendous amount of energy.
