- Write and balance the reaction for the complete combustion of ethane, C2H6. (Use the lowest possible coefficients.)arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forward
- Make a table about types of incompatibility, examples, causes, and its intervention.arrow_forwardCO(g)+2H2(g)⇄CH3OH(g)K=2.2×104at298K A stoichiometric mixture of CO(g) and H2(g) was allowed to react in two different 2.0L rigid containers at a constant temperature of 298K. The reaction is represented by the equation above. Diagram 1 represents the uncatalyzed reaction and diagram 2 represents the catalyzed reaction one hour after the reactants were mixed. Which of the following correctly explains the experimental results represented in the particle diagrams? A Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because its reactant molecules had a higher average kinetic energy. B Although the reaction is thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°<0 based on the value of K, only the catalyzed reaction could proceed in one hour because it has a lower activation-energy reaction pathway. C The reaction is not thermodynamically favorable because ΔG°>0 based on the value of K, but…arrow_forwardTrue or False (2) In thermochemical equations, it only shows the direction of the reaction involved. (5) The decomposition of ozone by nitric oxides homogeneous catalysis can be represented in the reaction: O(g) + O3(g) + NO(g) → 2O2 (g). (666) The negative energy indicates its flow. (121212) The CH3COOH could have greater vapor pressure lowering than NaOH. (131313) The temperature of the substance can influence its concentration. (252525) An insect can crawl in the surface of the water because of the strong intermolecular forces of attraction between the liquid and the insect’s legs. (313131) The rate of reaction can be defined as the change in the positive change in the concentration of product and reactants per change in time. (323232) The colligative properties depend on the concentration based on the solvent (34343434)arrow_forward
- What is the role of environmental chemistry in the development of sustainable technologies?arrow_forward21 hwarrow_forwardThe volume of your flask was found by weighing it, filled with water, at room temperature (20ºC). At 100ºC, because of the expansion of glass, the volume is slightly greater. How could this affect your results?arrow_forward
- There is great excess of H2O in this reaction.arrow_forwardOne of the many remarkable enzymes in the human bodyis carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversionof carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ionand protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body couldnot rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated bycell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration(release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second.Which components of this description correspond to theterms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?arrow_forwardHW7 #7arrow_forward
