Answer: 2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

All the hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.Thus the complete balanced equation is:

2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

<u>Full Question:</u>

The list below includes some of the properties of butane, a common fuel. Identify the chemical properties in the list. Check all of the boxes that apply.

denser than water

burns readily in air  

boiling point of –1.1°C  

odorless

does not react with water

burns readily in air

does not react with water

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The type of alkane that is used in many products includes Butane. It is found as a natural gas in the environment. It is found on the deeper part of ground. It can be obtained by drilling process and gets used up in many of the products that is used for commercial purposes.

Molecular mass that is associated with butane is 58.12 g/mol. The boiling point of butane is -1 degree Celsius and -140 degree Celsius is its melting point. It is a liquefied gas and does not react with water. It will burn in air more readily.

Select all of the correct statements pertaining to the first and second ionization energies of different elements. check all tha
sertanlavr [38]
The First Ionization energy of Nitrogen is greater (Not smaller)than that of Phosphorous. This is because going down the group (N and P are in same group) the number of shells increases, the distance of valence electrons from Nucleus increases and hence due to less interaction between nucleus and valence electrons it becomes easy to knock out the electron.

<span>The second ionization energy of Na is larger than that of Mg because after first loss of electron Na has gained Noble Gas Configuration (Stable Configuration) and now requires greater energy to loose both second electron and Noble Gas Configuration. While Mg after second ionization attains Noble Gas Configuration hence it prices less energy.</span>

The combustion of propane is represented by the following chemical equation. C3H8(g)+5O2(g)⟶3CO2(g)+4H2O(l) The standard enthalp
wariber [46]

Answer:

ΔH°c = -2219.9 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the combustion of propane.

C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⟶ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)

We can find the standard enthalpy of the combustion (ΔH°c) using the following expression.

ΔH°c = [3 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂(g)) + 4 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O(l))] - [1 mol × ΔH°f(C₃H₈(g)) + 5 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))]

ΔH°c = [3 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) + 4 mol × (-285.8 kJ/mol)] - [1 mol × (-103.8 kJ/mol) + 5 mol × (0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH°c = -2219.9 kJ

DNA can be replicated through an in vivo mechanism or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mechanism. Match each description to the
umka2103 [35]

Complete question from other source attached

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyzed by DNA polymerase - both. DNA polymerase catalyzes DNA replication in the cell. However, purified versions of the enzyme are also used to synthesise DNA as part of PCR reactions

involves leading strand synthesis only - PCR. In PCR, lagging strand synthesis is not carried out because the DNA is denatured (rendered single stranded). Therefore, each strand is replicated independently by leading strand synthesis

duplicates a small fragment of the genome - PCR. Usually, to carry out PCR, small sequences called primers are used that specify the region of DNA to be replicated

duplicates the entire genome - in vivo replication - when the DNA is replicated in vivo, the entire genome is replicated. This is carried out prior to cell division so that two daughter cells can each inherit a copy of the entire genome

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Simply put, MA = Force Out / Force in. That's the way it is usually stated. The force out is normally what you need to move. The force in is what you need to supply to get the force out. Most machines will give you an MA of more than 1. Some (like your arm) will give you less than 1 and others (like this one) will give you exactly one.

This one is frictionless, otherwise it would slip into less than one if it had friction.
