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.

Answer: option A.

A physical change occurred in which the iron remained iron, but lost one of its physical properties

Explanation: magnetization and demagnetization is a physical change as no new substance is form and it is easily reversed. When an iron rod is magnetized, it can loss it magnetic property by hitting it. So when an iron rod which is magnetized falls from a height it can also loss its magnetic property

Question<br> What is the molarity of a 400 mL solution containing 0.60 moles of NaCl?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

0.24 M

Explanation:

Molarity = Moles solute / Liters solution

Step 1: Identify variables

400 mL = Liters solution

0.60 moles = Moles solute

Step 2: Identify conversions

1 L = 1000 mL

Step 3: Convert mL to L

400mL(1 L/1000mL) = 0.4 L

Step 4: Find molarity

M = (0.4 L)(0.60 mol) = 0.24 M
