I believe the the equation is correctly expressed. The reaction above is a combustion reaction of octane. All of the combustion reaction is known to be exothermic reactions that is they release heat as the reaction proceeds. Consequently, they have negative enthalpies.

Where does the equilibrium point occur in a reaction system?
Ymorist [56]
Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. This doesn't necessarily mean the concentrations or pressure are the same on both sides of the equation, only the rates are the same

When does a phyisical change occur?
ioda
Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
