For the purpose of proper representation in this item, we let the number of moles of carbon in the compound be x, that of H is y. The equation of toluene now becomes,
                   CxHy
The combustion reaction is,
        CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The equation presented above may not be balanced yet. Then, we determine the number of mmols of C, H, and O in the product using the given masses.
    
(1) 8.20 mg CO2
             (8.2 mg CO2)(1 mmol CO2/44 mg CO2) = 0.186 mmol CO2
     which means,
                     0.186 mmol C
                     0.373 mmol O

(2) 1.92 mg H2O
            (1.92 mg H2O)(1 mmol H2O/18 mg H2O) = 0.107 mmol H2O
    which means
                    0.2133 mmol H
                    0.107 mmol O

Thus, the equation for toluene is,
               C(0.186)H(0.2133)

Dividing the numbers by the lesser value,
               CH(8/7)
To eliminate the fraction, we multiply by the denominator. Thus, the final answer would be,
             <em> C7H8</em>

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same
Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

  • <u>Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body  tissues including  the red blood cells. </u>
  • Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
  • <em>Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling. </em>
  • But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , <em>This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. </em>
  • Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. <u>This will not cause swelling.</u>
  • But too much of salt is also not recommended.

N the reaction 2Cu2O(s) → 4Cu(s) + O2(g) how does the oxidation number of the copper atoms change
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: The oxidation number of Cu decreased

Explanation: In Cu2O equation Cu has an oxidation number of

Cu+1 O-2

then in the product side Cu is represented as a single element.

The rule on oxidation number for an individual element is always O

So Cu has 0 oxidation number.

What mass of each solute is present in 294 g of a solution that contains 4.86% by mass NaCl and 7.54% by mass Na2CO3
Angelina_Jolie [31]
In order to compute the mass of each solute in the sample, we simply multiply the percentage mass of each solute with the total mass of the solution. This is ad such:
Mass (NaCl) = 0.0486 x 294
Mass (NaCl) = 14.29 grams

Mass(Na₂CO₃) = 0.0754 x 294
Mass(Na₂CO₃) = 22.17 grams
