<span>Soda ash is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. One chemical property of this compound is its basicity, which is measured by the pKb. The pKb for sodium carbonate is 3.67. It is the result of the dissociation of Na2CO3 in water: Na2CO3 + H2O = Na HCO3 + Na (+) + OH(-). This pKb means that it is a highly basic compound. pKb = log { 1 / [OH-] }, so pKb is a measure of the concentrations of OH- ions, which is the basiciity of the compound. </span>
Answer:
2C₂H₆ + [7]O₂ → [4]CO₂ + [6]H₂O
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Balanced chemical equation:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Step 1:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 1
H = 12 H = 2
O = 2 O = 3
Step 2:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 2
O = 2 O = 9
Step 3:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 12
O = 2 O = 14
Step 4:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 12
O = 14 O = 14
Reaction:
Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.
Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.
The element in period 4 of the Periodic Table with the highest electronegativity is krypton (2.96).
