The combustion of the fatty acid called stearic acid has the  the complete equation; C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) ------> 18CO2 (g) + 18 H2O(g)

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

The term combustion has to do with the burning of a substance in air. For organic compounds, we get carbon dioxide and water as the products.

Thus, for the combustion of the fatty acid called stearic acid, the complete equation is; C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) ------> 18CO2 (g) + 18 H2O(g)

Read the selection from the section "Molecules In Motion." The molecules in the hot soup are traveling faster overall than they
Hoochie [10]

Answer: The author used the word "conversely" because the first statement he made is in CONTRAST to the second statement he made.

Explanation:

Matter is made up of atoms or molecules that are in constant motion. The motion of these tiny particles ( molecules) gives the object energy. The movement of these molecules depends on the state of matter which includes

--> GASEOUS STATE: Here, the particles are completely free to move and are always in motion.

--> LIQUID STATE: particles in this state slide by one another and are always in motion.

--> SOLID STATE: particles in this state are held tightly together but are always in motion.

Also, the molecules in motion are greatly affected by temperature changes. Increase in temperature will cause the particles in the liquid to move faster. Such is seen when soup is heated, the molecules travel faster than before. But the OPPOSITE is seen in an ice cube. This is because the ice cube is in solid state and of a lower temperature.

Pls help question 2 ill attach a picture​
Finger [1]

Answer:

X 154

Check solution in explanation

Explanation:

Average atomic mass = ( mass 1× abudance) + ( mass 2× abudance)+ ( mass 3× abudance) / 100

(149×13.8)+(152×44.9) +(154×41.3)/100

2056.2 + 6824.8 + 6360.2/100

=152.412

1. How many moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles CzHg?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

20 moles of CO2 can be produced from a reaction of 10.0 moles C2H6

Explanation:

In this reaction -

2 moles of C₂H6 produces four molecules of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

So 1 mole of C₂H6 will produce \frac{4}{2} = 2 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Thus, 10 moles of C₂H6 will produce 2 * 10 = 20 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2)
