Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?arrow_forward(a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forwardlist at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forward
- Disulfur dichloride, S2Cl2, is used to vulcanize rubber. It can be made by treating molten sulfur with gaseous chlorine. S8() + 4 Cl2(g) 4 S2Cl2(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the production of 103.5 g S2Cl2.arrow_forward4.106 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what mass of CO2 is evolved during the process.arrow_forwardFor this reaction, fill in the table with the indicated quantities for the balanced equation. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forward
- 4.9 Sulfur, S8, combines with oxygen at elevated temperatures to form sulfur dioxide. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. (b) If 200 oxygen molecules are used up in this reaction, how many sulfur molecules react? (c) How many sulfur dioxide molecules are formed in part (b)?arrow_forwardA 0.20 mol sample of magnesium burns in air to form 0.20 mol of solid MgO. What amount (moles) of oxygen (O2) is required for a complete reaction?arrow_forwardPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been used extensively as dielectric materials in electrical transformers. Because PCBs have been shown to be potentially harmful, analysis for their presence in the environment has become very important. PCBs are manufactured according to the following generic reaction: C12H10+nCl2C12H10nCln.+nHCl This reaction results in a mixture of PCB products. The mixture is analyzed by decomposing the PCBs and then precipitating the resulting Cl asAgCl. a. Develop a general equation that relates the average value of n to the mass of a given mixture of PCBs and the mass of AgCl produced. b. A 0.1947-g sample of a commercial PCB yielded 0.4791 g of AgCl. What is the average value of n for this sample?arrow_forward
