1st balance C : C5H12 -> 5CO2
2nd balance H: C5H12 -> 6H2O
final balance O : (5x2+6)/2=8 -> 8O2
So answer is: C5H12+ 8O2 -> 5CO2+ 6H2O

Answer: [tex]C_5H_{12}+8O_2\rightarrow 5CO_2+6H_2O]/tex]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

[tex]C_5H_{12}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O]/tex]

The balanced equation will be :

[tex]C_5H_{12}+8O_2\rightarrow 5CO_2+6H_2O]/tex]

coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".

Can someone please help me on the second one? I have no idea what to do.
Aleks [24]

The reaction will produce 12.1 g Ag₂S.

<em>Balanced equation</em> = 2Ag + S ⟶ Ag₂S

<em>Mass of Ag₂S</em> = 10.5 g Ag × (1 mol Ag/107.87 g Ag) × (1 mol Ag₂S/2 mol Ag)

× (247.80 g Ag₂S/1 mol Ag₂S) = 12.1 g Ag₂S
