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)

How many of the following molecules are polar? Pcl5 cos xeo3 sebr2
klasskru [66]

Answer:

<em>Three (3) of the molecules are polar: </em>CoS,<em> </em>XeO_{3},<em> </em>SeBr_{2}<em>.</em>

Explanation:

Polar substances have their elements held together by a covalent bond that contain partially positive and negative charges, which results in a difference in the charges' electronegativity difference (usually ranging between 0.4 and 0.7).

  • PCl5 is <u>non-polar</u> with a symmetric geometry
  • CoS is <u>polar</u>
  • XeO3 is <u>polar</u>, with a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometric
  • SeBr2 is <u>polar</u> as the difference their electronegativity is about ).5
