Which of the following is the correctly balanced equation for the incomplete combustion of heptene, C7H14? Please explain how yo

u got the answer.
2C7H14+ 21O2→ 14CO2+ 14H2O

C7H14+ O2→ C7O2+ 7H2

C7H14+ 7O2→ 7CO + 7H2O

C7H14+ 14O → 7CO + 7H2O

Answer: C₇H₁₄ + 7O₂ → 7CO + 7H₂O

Explanation:

  • For any equation to be balanced the number of (C, H, and O) atoms in the reactants side should be the same in the products side.
  • The first choice is wrong because it is unbalanced equation that the reactants side has 22 O atoms and in the products side there is 14 O atoms.
  • The second choice is wrong because the incomplete combustion of heptene results CO and/or CO₂ and H₂O.
  • The third choice is the right answer that it has 7 atoms of C, 14 atoms of H, and 14 atoms of O in both reactants and products sides.
  • The fourth choice is wrong because the combustion of heptene occurs in O₂ not in O.

Answer : The correct balanced equation will be,

C_7H_{14}+7O_2\rightarrow 7CO+7H_2O

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of individual elements present on product side.

As we know that the hydrocarbons can undergo complete or incomplete combustion that depends on the amount of oxygen available.

Complete combustion : It takes place when there is a good supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product.

Incomplete combustion : It takes place when there is a poor supply of oxygen. In this, hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give carbon monoxide, carbon and water as a product.

As per question, the incomplete combustion of heptene react with oxygen to give carbon monoxide and water as a product.

Therefore, the balanced chemical reaction will be :

C_7H_{14}+7O_2\rightarrow 7CO+7H_2O

If 6.4 miles of Fe react with excess O2, how many miles of Fe2O3 can be formed? 4 Fe + 3 O2 -> 2 Fe2O3
Yuri [45]
I'm assuming that by "miles" you mean moles.

If O2 is the excess reactant, that means Fe is the limiting reactant. That means that the amount of product being formed depends on the amount of Fe reactant present. To calculate the moles of Fe2O3 formed, start with the given 6.4 moles of Fe and use the mole to mole ratio given by the reaction as shown below:

6.4 mol Fe x \frac{2 mol Fe2O3}{4 mol Fe} = 3.2 mol Fe2O3

diagram 1 above shows equimolar samples of two gases inside a container fitted with a removable barrier placed so that each gas
vampirchik [111]

This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.

In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).

Therefore, the correct choice is:

C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.

How could you determine the acceleration of marble?
arsen [322]
Since f=ma assuming you knew the mass of the marble and the total amount of force acting on it than you would divide the amount of force by the mass.
