7 0

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

a chemist studies two forms of refined gasoline. which of the following branches of chemistry might the chemist us?
valentinak56 [21]
The branch of chemistry that the chemist might use will be the branch of <em>organic chemistry</em>. This is because gasoline is an organic compound. We can say that a compound is organic if it contains a carbon atom. Gasoline is composed of long chains of alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds) ranging from 4 carbon atoms to 12 carbon atoms.
