Acetylene gas (C2H2), is used in welding torches. When it reacts with oxygen, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2), and steam (H2O).

The reaction can be described by the equation 2C2H2+5O2 -> 4CO,+2H2O. How much mass of C2H2 is needed to produce 75.0 grams of CO2?

Answer:

22.1 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene

2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 75.0 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

75.0 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 1.70 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of C₂H₂ required to produce 1.70 moles of CO₂

The molar ratio of C₂H₂ to CO₂ is 2:4. The moles of C₂H₂ required are 2/4 × 1.70 mol = 0.850 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.850 moles of C₂H₂

The molar mass of C₂H₂ is 26.04 g/mol.

0.850 mol × 26.04 g/mol = 22.1 g

What is the amount of heat released when 25g of water cools 12.5 degrees C ?
Over [174]
Water can't cool at a single temperature. It must start at a higher temperature, and drop to a lower temperature in order to cool. Unless we know the other temperature, there is no way to calculate the amount of thermal energy released.

If a 300.0 ml sample of a gas is heated at constant pressure from 25.0ºc to 55.0ºc, its new volume is _____ ml?
jekas [21]

 The new  volume is    330.2 ml


<u><em>calculation</em></u>

 The new  volume is  calculated using  the Charles  law formula

that is  V1/T1= V2/T2

where T1= 25.0  c  into kelvin  =  25 +273  = 298 K

         V1=  300.0 ml

       T2  = 55.0  c  into kelvin = 273   +55  =328  K

      V2 =  ? ml


make V2  the   subject of the formula  by  multiplying  both side by T2

V2= V1T2/ T1

V2 =[ (300.0 ml x 328 k)  / 298 k}  = 330.2 ml

The structure of carbonic acid, an important component of ocean chemistry, is depicted below. What type of model best describes
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A physical model is defined as a model which represents how atoms are bonded together and structure of a molecule.

Physical model shows the three dimensional structure of a molecule. Physical models helps to easily understand and visualize the configuration, single bonds, double bonds and total atoms within a molecule.

Thus, we can conclude that given structure of carbonic acid best describes a physical model.

What does the oxidizing agent do in a redox reaction apex?
densk [106]
Same as balancing a regular chemical reaction! Please see the related question to the bottom of this answer for how to balance a normal chemical reaction. This is for oxidation-reduction, or redox reactions ONLY! These instructions are for how to balance a reduction-oxidation, or redox reaction in aqueous solution, for both acidic and basic solution. Just follow these steps! I will illustrate each step with an example. The example will be the dissolution of copper(II) sulfide in aqueous nitric acid, shown in the following unbalanced reaction: CuS (s) + NO 3 - (aq) ---> Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) + NO (g) Step 1: Write two unbalanced half-reactions, one for the species that is being oxidized and its product, and one for the species that is reduced and its product. Here is the unbalanced half-reaction involving CuS: CuS (s) ---> Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) And the unbalanced half-reaction for NO 3 - is: NO 3 - (aq) --> NO (g) Step 2: Insert coefficients to make the numbers of atoms of all elements except oxygen and hydrogen equal on the two sides of each half-reaction. In this case, copper, sulfur, and nitrogen are already balanced in the two half-reaction, so this step is already done here. Step 3: Balance oxygen by adding H 2 O to one side of each half-reaction. CuS + 4 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- NO 3 - --> NO + 2 H 2 O Step 4: Balance hydrogen atoms. This is done differently for acidic versus basic solutions. . For acidic solutions: Add H 3 O + to each side of each half-reaction that is "deficient" in hydrogen (the side that has fewer H's) and add an equal amount of H 2 O to the other side. For basic solutions: add H 2 O to the side of the half-reaction that is "deficient" in hydrogen and add an equal amount of OH - to the other side. Note that this step does not disrupt the oxygen balance from Step 3. In the example here, it is in acidic solution, and so we have: CuS + 12 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- + 8 H 3 O + . NO 3 - + 4 H 3 O + --> NO + 6 H 2 O Step 5: Balance charge by inserting e - (electrons) as a reactant or product in each half-reaction. Oxidation: CuS + 12 H 2 O ---> Cu 2+ + SO 4 2- + 8 H 3 O + + 8 e - . Reduction: NO 3 - + 4 H 3 O + + 3 e - --> NO + 6 H 2 O . Step 6: Multiply the two half-reactions by numbers chosen to make the number of electrons given off by the oxidation step equal to the number taken up by the reduction step. Then add the two half-reactions. If done correctly, the electrons should cancel out (equal numbers on the reactant and product sides of the overall reaction). If H 3 O + , H 2 O, or OH - appears on both sides of the final equation, cancel out the duplication also. Here the oxidation half-reaction must be multiplied by 3 (so that 24 electrons are produced) and the reduction half-reaction must by multiplied by 8 (so that the same 24 electrons are consumed). 3 CuS + 36 H 2 O ---> 3 Cu 2+ + 3 SO 4 2- + 24 H 3 O + + 24 e - 8 NO 3 - + 32 H 3 O + + 24 e - ---> 8 NO + 48 H 2 O Adding these two together gives the following equation: 3 CuS + 36 H 2 O + 8 NO 3 - + 8 H 3 O + ---> 3 Cu 2+ + 3 SO 4 2- + 8 NO + 48 H 2 O Step 7: Finally balancing both sides for excess of H 2 O (On each side -36) This gives you the following overall balanced equation at last: 3 CuS (s) + 8 NO 3 - (aq) + 8 H 3 O + (aq) ---> 3 Cu 2+ (aq) + 3 SO 4 2- (aq) + 8 NO (g) + 12 H 2 O (l)
