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.

Metals have a low electron affinity- a less likely chance to gain electrons because they want to give up their valence electrons rather than gain electrons, which require more energy than necessary.

If electrons were used in the two slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord
irina [24]
The change that would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern is bending, because in understanding why light behaves like a wave, it is the interference and diffraction were the phenomena distinguish waves from particles but waves are the only one can interfere and diffract while particles do not. The light bends around obstacles or cylinder like waves do, then it is bending which cause and resulted in the single slit diffraction pattern.
