I got 134.91 but if you round it you’ll get 135
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
2C</span>₈H₈ + 25O₂ → 8CO₂ + 18H₂<span>O
LHS: C - 16 RHS: C - 8
H - 16 H - 36
O - 50 O - 34
Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced. This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."
</span>The actual balance equation would be C₈H₈ + 10O₂ → 8CO₂ + 4H₂O
The reaction that has the greatest tendency to be reversed in an spontaneous redox reaction is that whose forward standard reduction potential is the lowest (mos negative) one because that means that the reversed reaction will have the highest (most positive) standard reduction potential.
So, the answer is Cr(3+) + 3e- ---> Cr(s) with Eo = -0.91 V, whose reversed reaction is Cr(s) - 3e- ---> Cr (3+) with Eo = +0.91 V.
Answer: the second option Cr(3+) + 3e- ---> Cr(s) Eo = -0.91 V
When water is turned into vapor (a gas), that is called evaporation.
Hope this helps. :)
