<h3>Balanced equation :
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains
General formula for alkanes :

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)
or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction
C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)
C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2
H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3
O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2
Answer:
Choice A: Approximately
joules.
Explanation:
Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the
kilograms of mass.
,
where
stands for energy,
stands for mass, and
is the speed of light in vacuum.
The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of
?
The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:
Mass is in kilograms.
Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light,
.
Apply the mass-energy equivalence:
.
The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)
.
However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)
.
In other words, the mass defect here is also
.

See explanation
Explanation:
The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.
The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.
Net equation of the reaction is;
(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-
The intermediate here is the carbocation, (CH3)3C^+
This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet.
<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>
<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>
<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>
<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>
<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>
<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>
<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>
<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>
<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>
I'm actually not sure... but maybe this will help!
