They have 6 valance electrons.
There's a slight error in your equation. I think you were trying to present it like this:
2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O
Mole Ratio
O2 : H20
25 : 18
? moles : 18 moles
(18/18)×25 : 18 moles
25 moles : 18 moles
Final answer would be 25 moles of O2. :)
If you have any doubts that you want to clarify with me, please ask me! :)
I will do my utmost best to help you.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: letter D
Explanation:
In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.
According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:
a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)
b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)
c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)
d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)
e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.
