Balance the following equation showing complete combustion of a hydrocarbon: C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 +H2O

First, we can look at the number of hydrogens on either side. The equation shows 8 hydrogen atoms on the left hand side (in C3H8) whereas on the right hand side, we have 2 hydrogen atoms (in H2O). So we need...

Explain four ways of increasing the rate of a reaction

Increase the temperature - this increases the kinetic energy of particles, so when they collide with each other the collision has a greater energy so is more likely to overcome the activation energy barrier ...

Explain why chloride and bromide are in the same group in the period table. Also describe the electronic structures of both.

They have the same number of 'free electrons' in their outer ring. They both have 7 free outer electrons, this means that all group 7 elements have 7 free outer electrons.
