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.

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Which of the following equations has correct formulas and also is a balanced equation?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer : The correct option is, (B)

Explanation :

Balance equation : Balanced equation are those equation in which the number of atoms of each element and the total charge must be same on products side and reactants side.

In the given options, only option (B) equation has correct formula and also a balanced equation.

2Be+O_2\rightarrow 2BeO

while the other options has incorrect formulas and also an unbalanced equations.

The correct equation for option A is, CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

The correct equation for option C is, 2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

The correct equation for option D is, KCl+HNO_3\rightarrow HCl+KNO_3

Hence, the correct answer is, (B) 2Be+O_2\rightarrow 2BeO

How many atoms are there in 32.45 grams of Magnesium?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

8.13 ×10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of magnesium = 32.45 g

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.45 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.35 mol

Number of atoms:

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

1.35 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms/ 1mol

8.13 ×10²³ atoms
