Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 2

Explanation:

Data

Octane = C₈H₁₈

Oxygen = O₂

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

Reaction

                         C₈H₁₈  +   O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         1

                         18                     H                        2

                          2                     O                        3

This reaction is unbalanced

                          C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   9H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         8

                         18                     H                        18

                         25                     O                       25

Multiply the reaction by 2

                    2C₈H₁₈  +   25O₂   ⇒   16CO₂   +   18H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                         16                     C                        16

                         36                     H                       36

                         50                     O                       50

Now, the reaction is balanced

Mrrafil [7]
#1: The element that loses electrons in a chemical reaction is said to have been which of the following? A. reduced

B. oxidized

C. combusted

D. rusted

**idk, is it reduced or oxidized??

Answer: oxidized. The element that loses electrons increases its oxidation number (becomes more positve or less negative) and this is oxidation.


Which type of reaction occurs if one element gains electrons and another loses electrons?

A. combustion

B. synthesis

C. oxidation-reduction

D. double-displacement

**my answer: C

Yes, oxidation-reduction

#3: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in H4P2O7?

A. +5

B. +3

C. +1

D. - 1

**my answer: A. +5

This is the way to calculate it 4(+1) + 2x + 7(-2) = 0 => x = +5



#4: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in Na2HPO3?

A. +5

B. +3

C. +1

D. - 1

**my answer; B. +3

is that right??

Right

2(+1) + 1 + x + 3(-2) = 0 => x = 6 -1 -2 = 3 (positive)

Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Tina drew an animal cell in her science notebook. What's wrong with the cell?
Lisa [10]

I know for certain, that chloroplast does not belong on that list, chloroplast only belongs inside of plant cells to produce energy required for the plant. I  am not sure about the era or er, but chloroplast does not belong.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!
