Answer:

The correct option is 9

Explanation:

The easiest way to balance any combustion equation is to first write the general form.  In a combustion reaction the products are always carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and the reactants are the organic material plus oxygen (O2).

General Form:

C6H12 +  O2 -->   CO2  +  H2O

Now start by balancing the carbon atoms:

six carbons on the left so you need 6 on the right.

C6H12   +   O2   --->    6 CO2  +  H2O

Next balance the hydrogen atoms:

12 on the left, so you need 12 on the right.

C6H12  +   O2 -->   6CO2    +   6H2O

Now count the number of oxygen on the right = 12 + 6= 18

Divide the number on the right by 2 to get the number needed on the left.   18/2 = 9

Which of the following statements is true?
dybincka [34]

Answer:C

Explanation:

A process is called spontaneous if the process takes place on its own without the intervention of external factors.

The spontaneous processes are generally quick with observable rates of reaction.But processes can be spontaneous even with negligible rates of reaction.

Spontaneity of reactions depend on temperature.

This is because spontaneity is measured by gibbs energy or enthalpy.

Both of these measures are dependent on temperature.

So,temperature affects spontaneity.
