Answer:

11.0 L

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is given as;

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

2 mol of H2 reacts with 1 mol of O2 to form 2 mol of H2O

At STP;

1 mol = 22.4 L

This means;

44.8 L of H2 reacts with 22.4 L of O2 to form 44.8 L of H2O

In this reaction, the limiting reactant is H2 as O2 is in excess.

The relationship between H2 and H2O;

44.8 L = 44.8 L

11.0 L would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 11 * 44.8 / 44.8

x = 11.0 L

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was

DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when $CO_{2}$ is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

$Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)$

2) When $NH_{3}$ is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.

When an apple or banana is cut, a chemical reaction with air causes the flesh to turn brown. Placing the fruit in a cold place,

PIT_PIT [208]

Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation. Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process.

If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.

Why must the red blood cells and the solution in the beaker be isotonic?

lesantik [10]

If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net flow of water into or out of the cell, and the cell's volume will remain stable. If the solute concentration outside the cell is the same as inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, then that solution is isotonic to the cell.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of each compound. a. formaldehyde (CH2O(g)) b. heptane (C7H17(l)) c. benze

Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)): CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)): 4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l)): C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In a reaction of combustion, a hydrocarbon compound (composed of C, H and O) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂). The <u>complete</u> combustion of a hydrocarbon - such as formaldehyde, heptane, and benzene - produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

Thus, we write the reactants and products for each combustion reaction and then we balance the atoms: C, H, and O.

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)):

CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The chemical equation is already balanced with the coefficients 1: we have the same number of C atoms (1), H (2) and O (3) on both sides of the equation.

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)):

C₇H₁₇(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Here we have to write a coefficient 28 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms in the products side, and for C₇H₁₇ we write 28/4 = 7. With similar reasoning we found the coefficients for O₂ and H₂O:

4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l)):

C₆H₆(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we write a coefficient of 6 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms. Then, we have to balance H atoms: we write a coefficient 3 in H₂O. Now, we have 12 + 3 = 15 atoms of O on the reactants side. So, we write a half of these number of atoms in the coefficient for O₂: 15/2. We obtain the balanced equation:

C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)
