The
combustion of heptane (C7H16) in oxygen spontaneously occurs. The products of
the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The balanced chemical equation
is 7H16 + 11O2 → 7CO2 + 8H2O H
= –2877.5 kJ.
Answer:
- From octane: 
- From ethanol: 
Explanation:
Hello,
At first, for the combustion of octane, the following chemical reaction is carried out:

Thus, the produced mass of carbon dioxide is:

Now, for ethanol:


Best regards.
Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)
clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x
Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride
Explanation:
To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:
Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)
Cl = —1
Cu + 2(—1) = 0
Cu —2 = 0
Collect like terms
Cu = 0 +2
Cu = +2
Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.
The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.
