What occurs in combustion reaction? Explain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

In a combustion reaction, a substance reacts with oxygen from the air. Combustion reactions happen at high temperatures, and transfer energy to the surroundings as light and heat. This is why you see flames when things burn. ... The products of combustion reactions are compounds of oxygen, called oxides.

A sample of liquid heptane (C7H16) weighing 11.5 g is reacted with 1.3 mol of oxygen gas. The heptane is burned completely (hept
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) 0.525 mol

b) 0.525 mol

c) 0.236 mol

Explanation:

The combustion reactions (partial and total) will be:

C₇H₁₆ + (15/2)O₂ → 7CO + 8H₂O

C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

---------------------------------------------------

2C₇H₁₆ + (37/2)O₂ → 7CO + 7CO₂ + 16H₂O

It means that the reaction will form 50% of each gas.

a) 0.525 mol of CO

b) 0.525 mol of CO₂

c) The molar mass of heptane is: 7*12 g/mol of C + 16*1 g/mol of H = 100 g/mol

So, the number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n = 11.5/100 = 0.115 mol

For the stoichiometry:

2 mol of C₇H₁₆ -------------- (37/2) mol of O₂

0.115 mol of C₇H₁₆ --------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = 2.1275

x = 1.064 mol of O₂

Which is the moles of oxygen that reacts, so are leftover:

1.3 - 1.064 = 0.236 mol of O₂

4. Evaluate the information contained in this calculation and complete the
Neporo4naja [7]

Since you did not give a calculation, I will just give an example. Suppose that you are to burn 5 kg of methane (CH4) from 0 to 10°C. The specific heat capacity of methane is 4.475 kJ/kg-K.

H = mCpT

H = (5kg)( 4.475 kJ/kg-K)(10-0)

H = 223.75 kJ

Because the enthalpy is positive in value, methane takes in heat.

A. What are the half-reactions for the redox reaction CuCl2 + Zn → ZnCl2 + Cu? Label the oxidation
GenaCL600 [577]

The oxidation half equation is Zn ------> Zn^2+ + 2e while the reduction half equation is Cu^2+  + 2e------> Cu.

A redox reaction is a reaction in which there is a loss/gain of electrons. The specie that gives out electrons experiences an increase in oxidation number while the specie that gains the electrons experiences a decrease in oxidation number.

For the reaction; CuCl2 + Zn → ZnCl2 + Cu

The oxidation half equation is;

Zn ------> Zn^2+ + 2e

The reduction half equation is;

Cu^2+  + 2e------> Cu

The chloride ion is excluded because its oxidation number does not change from left to right in the reaction.
