<h3>Answer:</h3>

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

In this case;

Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms

An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

Calculate the molar mass of B(NO3)3 ?

Stella [2.4K]

The molar mass of B(NO₃)₃ - Boron nitrate : 196.822 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In stochiometry therein includes

<em>Relative atomic mass (Ar) and relative molecular mass / molar mass (M) </em>

So the molar mass of a compound is given by the sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)

The molar mass of B(NO₃)₃ - Boron nitrate :

M B(NO₃)₃ = Ar B + 3. Ar N + 9.Ar O

M B(NO₃)₃ = 10.811 + 3. 14,0067 + 9. 15,999

M B(NO₃)₃ = 196.822 g/mol

Which statement best explains why calcium has a larger atomic radius than magnesium? A. Calcium has a stronger nuclear charge th

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium

Explanation:

atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.

Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells

electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows

Mg - 2,8,2

Ca - 2,8,8,2

outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level

whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell

therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside

A solution has a poh of 7. 1 at 10∘c. what is the ph of the solution given that kw=2. 93×10−15 at this temperature? remember to

Gnom [1K]

A solution has a pOH of 7. 1 at 10∘c. Then the pH of the solution given that kw=2. 93×10−15 at this temperature is 7.4 .

It is given that,

pOH of solution = 7.1

Kw =2.93×10^(-15)

Firstly, we will calculate the value of pKw

The expression which we used to calculate the pKw is,

pKw=-log [Kw]

Now by putting the value of Kw in this expression,

pKw =−log{2.93×10^(-15)}

pKw =15log(2.93)

pKw=14.5

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

As we know that,

pH+pOH=pKw

Now put all the given values in this formula,

pH+7.1=14.5

pH=7.4

Therefore, we find the value of pH of the solution is, 7.4.

A. Identify the structure drawn below.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Hexane

Explanation:

You have a carbon structure with only single bonds. This means that the name will end in -ane.

There are 6 carbon atoms. This means that the name will begin with hex-.

The structure is hexane.

A buffer solution is composed of 1.00 mol of acid and 2.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a of the acid is 4.90 , what is

Gemiola [76]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 5.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the volume of buffer solution be V

We know that:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate base}]}{[acid]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.90

$[\text{conjugate base}]=\frac{2.25}{V}$

$[acid]=\frac{1.00}{V}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.90+\log(\frac{2.25/V}{1.00/V})\\\\pH=5.25$

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 5.25
