- Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C11H24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid undecane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. 2. Suppose 0.310kg of undecane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1atm and a temperature of 18.0°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.

- Explain the term "limiting reactant". What is an ionic equation? Explain the meaning of "the reaction goes to less than 100% completion".arrow_forwardAmmonia (NH3) is a weak base. Melting point of ammonia is -78 Celsius degrees and boiling point is -33 Celsius degrees. Therefore, pure ammonia appears in gaseous form in room temperature. a) Preparation of ammonia Gaseous ammonia (NH3) can be prepared by a reaction where Hydrogen gas (H2) and Nitrogen gas (N2) reacts. Write a reaction equation to this reaction. Balance the reaction equation if needed. b) Behavior of gases Explain the diffusion of gases. c) Change of temperature The closed container filled with gaseous ammonia is moved from room temperature into a freezer. The temperature on freezer is -35 Celsius degrees. Explain shortly on your own words, what kind of changes does the cooling cause and why.arrow_forward• Write out the chemical equation for the synthesis of aspirin using ONLY the NAMES of REACTANTS and PRODUCTS!!!
