W(C)=0.865
A(C)=12
w(H)=0.144
A(H)=1

CxHy
M(CxHy)=12x+y

w(C)=xA(C)/(12x+y)
w(H)=yA(H)/(12x+y)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
12x/(12x+y)=0.856
y/(12x+y)=0.144

x=1
y=2

CH₂ is the empirical formula

Define exothermic reaction.<br> Define endothermic reaction.
balandron [24]
Exothermic reaction = the term exothermic process describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity,

Endothermic reaction = An endothermic process is any process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system. In such a process, a closed system usually absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which is heat transfer into the system.

C. Balance these fossil-fuel combustion reactions. (1 point)
storchak [24]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

C. Balance these fossil-fuel combustion reactions. (1 point)

C8H18(g) + 12.5O2(g) →    ____CO2(g) + 9H2O(g) + heat

CH4(g) + ____O2(g) →     ____CO2(g) + ____H2O(g) + heat

C3H8(g) + ____O2(g) →    ____CO2(g) + ____H2O(g) + heat

C6H6(g) + ____O2(g)  →   ____CO2(g) + ____H2O(g) + heat

Solution :

C8H18(g) + 12.5O2(g) →    __8__CO2(g) + 9H2O(g) + heat

When 1 part of octane reacts with 12.5 parts of oxygen, it gives 8 parts of carbon dioxide and 9 parts of water along with liberation of energy.

CH4(g) + __2__O2(g) →     __1__CO2(g) + __2__H2O(g) + heat

When 1 part of methane reacts with 2 parts of oxygen, it gives 1 part of carbon dioxide and 2 parts of water along with liberation of energy.

C3H8(g) + __5__O2(g) →    __3__CO2(g) + __4__H2O(g) + heat

When 1 part of propane reacts with 5 parts of oxygen, it gives 3 part of carbon dioxide and 4 parts of water along with liberation of energy.

C6H6(g) + __1/2__O2(g)  →   __6__CO2(g) + __3__H2O(g) + heat

When 1 part of propane reacts with 1/2 parts of oxygen, it gives 6 part of carbon dioxide and 3 parts of water along with liberation of energy.

Acid rain occurs when sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere is oxidized in the presence of nitrogen dioxide. Acid rain is an example
forsale [732]
Answer: B. A secondary pollutant

An acid rain is an example of a secondary pollutant because it is a chemical reaction of two gases namely, the sulfur dioxide and the nitrogen dioxide. The acid rain is not also directly emitted by the atmosphere.
