4 0

C12H24O2 +17 O2-------->12CO2 + 12H2O

<h3>Combustion:-</h3>

combustion is a chemical reaction that often involves the presence of oxygen and produces heat and light in the form of flames.

<h3>Lauric acid:-</h3>

Lauric acid has a 12-carbon backbone and is a saturated medium-chain fatty acid. In addition to being a key component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil, lauric acid occurs naturally in a variety of plant and animal fats and oils.

White solid lauric acid has a little bay oil odour to it.

Lauric acid is a cheap, non-toxic, and easy-to-handle substance that is frequently employed in lab studies on melting-point depression. Because lauric acid is a solid at ambient temperature but a liquid at boiling temperatures, it can be used to test different solutes to determine their molecular weights.

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates?
xeze [42]
Temperature can change a reaction rate because adding or taking away heat means energy is being added or taken away. When energy is added, the particles speed up, so there is a greater chance of the reactants colliding to form the products, which increases the reaction rate. When energy is taken away, the particles more slower, so they don't collide as easily, which slows down the reaction rate.

Therefore, the answer is D.

when you draw a bow across a violin string which kind of wave is created in the air surrounding the string
Lilit [14]

Answer:

When the string on a violin vibrates, waves move in both directions along the string, interfering with each other. These waves are standing waves.

Explanation:

What are Standing Waves?

The Standing Waves are waves generated due to the vibrational frequency that produces reflected waves capable of interfering with the incident waves.

Answers:

1) <span>Breaking Solvent-Solvent Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

2) </span><span>Breaking Solute-Solute Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

3) </span><span>Forming Solute-Solvent Attractions is an Exothermic Process.

Explanation:
                   When a solute is dissolved in solvent it either releases heat or absorbs heat depending upon the the interactions broken and interactions formed. At first, the solvent solvent interactions are broken , this process requires heat which is provided either from external source or is provided by the forming of solute solvent bond forming process which is exothermic.

When the solvent molecules get apart the solute particles enter to form interactions with elimination of heat. So, if the heat required to break solvent solvent interactions is greater than the heat provided by solute solvent interactions formation then the solute will not dissolve at room temperature and vice versa.</span>
