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>

How many liters of oxygen are required to react completely with 14.8 mol of Al?
Bond [772]

Answer:

296 L  

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with moles, so let's gather all the information in one place.

                  4Al + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Al₂O₃

n/mol:        17.4

1. Moles of O₂

n = \text{17.4 mol Al}\times \dfrac{\text{3 mol O}_{2}}{\text{4 mol Al}}= \text{13.05 mol O}_{2}

2. Volume of O₂

You haven't given the conditions at which the volume is measured, so I assume it is at STP (0 °C and 1 bar).

At STP the molar volume of a gas is 22.71 L.

V = \text{13.05 mol}\times \dfrac{\text{22.71 L}}{\text{1 mol }}= \textbf{296 L}

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.

The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.

Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.
