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

A new element (solid at room temperature) is discovered that has:
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.

For lunch, a patient consumed 3 oz of skinless chicken, 3 oz of broccoli, 1 medium apple, and 1 cup of nonfat milk (see Table 3.
Volgvan

Lunch of a patient has 3 oz skinless chicken, 3 oz of broccoli, 1 medium apple, and 1 cup of nonfat milk

Energy content of 3 oz skinless chicken is = 110 kcal

Energy content of 3 oz broccoli = 30 kcal

Energy content of 1 medium apple = 60 kcal

Energy content of 1 cup non-fat milk = 90 kcal

So the kilocalories of energy patient obtained from lunch

                   = 110 kcal+ 30 kcal + 60 kcal + 90 kcal = 290 kcal

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

Explanation:

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of

pH + pOH = 14 => pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 9 = 5

2. Which is more acidic, a solution with a pH of 6 or a pH of 4?

pH of 4 => Higher [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴M vs pH of 6 => [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶M

3. How many times more acidic is a solution with a pH of 2 than a solution with a pH of 3?

soln with pH = 2 => [H⁺] = 10⁻²M

soln with pH = 3 => [H⁺] = 10⁻³M

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H + ] in a solution that has a pH of 8?

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻⁸M

5. A solution has a pOH of 9.6. What is the pH? (Use the formula.)

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4
