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

What can be said about an Endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?The reaction isa. spontaneous at all temperatures.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1. d. The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.

2. c. The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is associated with the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). When ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous. When ΔG > 0, the reaction is non-spontaneous. ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:

ΔG = ΔH - T. ΔS  [1]

where,

T is the absolute temperature (T is always positive)

<em>1. What can be said about an Endothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>

If the reaction is endothermic, ΔH > 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG is always positive. The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction at any temperature. This means that the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction at all temperatures.

<em>2. What can be said about an Exothermic reaction with a negative entropy change?</em>

If the reaction is exothermic, ΔH < 0. Let's consider ΔS < 0. According to eq. [1], ΔG will be negative when |ΔH| > |T.ΔS|, that is, at low temperatures.

1. How does a star's life begin?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A star begins its life as a cloud of dust and gas (mainly hydrogen) known as a nebula. A protostar is formed when gravity causes the dust and gas of a nebula to clump together in a process called accretion. ... If a critical temperature in the core of a protostar is reached, then nuclear fusion begins and a star is born.

Some elements have variable valencies .give reason​
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Some elements have variable valencies because of the different electronic configurations. An atom of an element can sometimes lose more electrons than are present in its valence shell i.e. loss from the penultimate shell and hence exhibit more than 1 or variable valency.

Explanation:

Hope it helps.

1)The average lethal dose of Valium is 1.52 mg/kg of body weight. Estimate how many grams of Valium would be lethal for a 200.-l
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1. 0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman

2. 125mg/min is the drip of the patient

Explanation:

1. In a body, an amount of Valium > 1.52mg / kg of body weight would be lethal.

A person that weighs 200lb requires:

200<u>lb</u> × (453.6<u>g</u> / <u>1lb</u>) × (1kg / 1000<u>g</u>) = <em>90.72kg (Weight of the woman in kg)</em>

90.72kg × (1.52mg / kg) =

137.9mg ≡

<h3>0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman</h3>

2. The IV contains 1.5g = 1500mg/mL.

If the patient is receiving 5.0mL/h, its rate in mg/h is:

5.0<u>mL</u>/h × (1500mg/<u>mL</u>) = 7500mg/h

Now as 1h = 60min:

7500mg/<u>h</u> × (1<u>h</u> / 60min) =

<h3>125mg/min is the drip of the patient</h3>
