When a 10 cm3 sample of a gaseous hydrocarbon was completely burnt in 35 cm3 of oxygen, the total volume of the products formed was 50 cm3. Which equation represents the combustion of the hydrocarbon? CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) Since all the reactants and products are gases, we can use the ratio of volume directly without converting to moles. 10: 35 : 50 2 : 7 : 10 ratio of hydrocarbon is 2, ratio of oxygen is 7 and ratio of the sum of products is 10. Only D satisfy this ratio 10 / 20 10. Ammonia and excess carbon dioxide can react to form urea and water in a reaction. 2NH3 + CO2 → CON2H4 + H2O The percentage yield of this reaction is 80 %.

Aqueous hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen gas. Two experiments were carried out to measure the rate of production of oxygen from aqueous hydrogen peroxide. A B C D Experiment B has more starting reactant but lower concentration than A. Therefore, the curve will be less steep but finish higher. 12 / 20 12.

A student investigated the diffusion of ammonia gas, NH3, and hydrogen chloride gas, HCl. Two sets of apparatus were set up as shown below at room temperature and pressure.

A warship had its hull plated in copper to protect its wooden hull from rotting. However, after 2 years at sea, it was found that the iron parts of the warship in contact with the copper plates were more corroded than normal. What is the best explanation for this observation? Copper acts as a catalyst to speed up corrosion. Copper reacts with the iron to increase corrosion. Iron displaces copper to form iron(III) oxide. Iron is more reactive and corrodes in place of copper. Iron is above copper in the reactivity series. Iron will readily give away electrons to copper. Thus, iron will ionize easily to react with the oxygen in the air to rust. Your score isThe average score is 85% 0% Restart quiz
