To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product.  Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2.  Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O.  So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15.  O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

the buret is dirty and drops of NaOH cling to the side walls of the buret as it drained. How does this affect the result for NaO
kykrilka [37]
Since this has to do with titration, the measured volume of NaOH used would be less than the actual volume used because some of the unused NaOH would cling to the sides of the buret and therefore wouldn't factor into the measurement

Give the name of this alcohol.
solong [7]

Answer:

An alcohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, we often represent alcohols by the general formula ROH, where R is an alkyl group. Alcohols are common in nature.

Why do you think that scientists in the 20th century thought that it was important to “unlock” the structures of the atom?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.

Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.
