CnH2n+2(g) + (1.5n+0.5)O2(g) nCO2(g) + (n+1)H2O(g)


Thats the formula to balance the equation for the burning of an ALKANE

Whats the quick method for ALCOHOL and ALKENE

My advice is to never use such equations..u cud get caught if he asks for carbon monoxide instead of dioxide..use ur calculatoions to balance..not formulae..

A Chemistry doubt !
« Reply #411 on: April 23, 2010, 10:23:23 pm »
ppl i need someone to tell me
1. what is an equilibrium mixture?  :-\
2.what is meant by shifting the equilibrium position to the right/left?  :-\
3. The effect of temperature,pressure,catalyst on exo and on endo thermic reactions? and why? :-\

I'm going to hazard a guess because I haven't done this for a while... :)

1. An equilibrium is when a reversible reaction is balanced and the overall chemical concentrations and activity of both the reactants and the products has no overall net change. In an equilibrium, a forward and backward reaction occurs.

2. (Just so you know, in a equilibrium reaction, you can either go from turning the reactants into products or you can go backwards by changing the products back into the reactants.)
If you shift the equilibrium position to the right, then you are producing more product by forcing the reaction to go in the direction of the arrow facing right.
If you shift the equilibrium position to the left, then you are turning more of the product back into the reactant(s) by forcing the reaction to go in the direction of the arrow facing left.

3. In an equilibrium, one way the reaction is going to be exothermic and the other way it will be endothermic. Thus, when you increase the temperature, the reaction will want to lower the temperature and therefore the endothermic reaction will occur more to counterbalance this. Therefore, if you decrease the temperature, the exothermic reaction will occur more.
If you increase the pressure, the equilibrium system will shift so the least number of gas molecules are formed because the more gas molecules there are, the more collisions there are because these collisions and the presence of gas molecules are what cause the pressure to increase. Therefore, a decrease in pressure will force the reaction in the direction of more number of gas molecules.
A catalyst increases the rate of reaction but this would not effect the equilibrium itself so it will remain balanced.

I hope this helps and actually makes sense. I also hope that it's right :D

I have a doubt  ??? in Chemistry which is about this question:
The formula of an acid is either of the type HY or H2Y.How could u find out which one is correct by using aqueous solutions of acids and alkalis. Assume that both solutions have da same concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3.

I understand that we need to carry out titration and find out the volume of acid used and that if the volume of acid is same as da alkali then it is HY but wat I don't understand is why if it is H2Y then it is twice da alkali (mark scheme) I thought it is HALF!PLZ explain :-\

Give me a sample question...it'll be easier for me to explain

Ok, If for example we used 25 cm3 of NaOH with concentration 0.1 mol/dm3 and it was neutralised by H2SO4 of concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3 then what is the volume of H2SO4 needed?
Repeat this with HCl having same concentration and also find its volume!!!!!!!
