What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from burning 100 grams of ethanol in oxygen according to this reaction: C2H5OH + 3 O2 --> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O

Firstly, make sure the equation is correctly balanced – which it is here; comparing right sight with left: Left=Right i.e.: 2 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen a, 7 oxygen a

How do you integrate by parts?

To integrate the product of two functions - say f(x) = xsinx, the product of g(x) = x and h(x) = sin(x) - the we use integration by parts.

Since integration is the inverse of differentia...

Given that (2x + 11 )/(2x + 1)(x + 3) ≡ A /(2x + 1) + B /(x + 3) , find the values of the constants A and B. Hence show that the integral from 0 to 2 (2x + 11)/ (2x + 1)(x + 3) dx = ln 15.

First starting from the right hand side.

A /(2x + 1) + B /(x + 3) = A(x+3)+B(2x+1)/(x+3)(2x+1)

Therefore the numerator = (A+2B)x+(3A+B)

Equating this numorato...

Two identical objects have a charge of magnitude q. If r is the distance bethween them, what should their mass be so that the objects are balanced.

Our first step in this physics problem should be to identify all of the forces that act on the objects. There are two forces here,electrical and gravitational. Since both objects have the same charge i...
