This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.
C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.
I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.
Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O
First you need to balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get
C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O
Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:
C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O
Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:
=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.
You can verify that the equation is balanced
C2H6O + O2 ---> C2H4O2 + H2O
using the molar masses:-
24+ 6 + 16 g of C2H6O produces 24 + 4 + 32 g C2H4O2 (theoretical)
46 g produces 60g
60 g C2H4O2 is produced from 46g C2H6O
1g . .................................46/60 g
700g ................................. (46/60) * 700 Theoretically
But as the yield is only 7.5%
the required amount is ((46/60) * 700 ) / 0.075 = 7155.56 g
= 7.156 kg to nearest gram. Answer
<span>Petroleum and biomass are burned in combustion reactions, which liberate energy stored in chemical bonds. This is chemical energy. In contrast, nuclear energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy when an nuclear reaction occurs. Geothermal energy comes directly from heat sources underground, with no chemical or nuclear reactions.</span>
Hello Mlbozer,
Hope your having a great day! Gasses are known for having molecules that 'run' in a way. They all are Spread Out, and bounce off each other. Its a big mess, and is more 'spread out' than even liquid, in fact its the most open form of the three! So your answer is false!
Thank you,
