Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water .

When 2,3-dimethylbutane undergoes combustion reaction it gives carbon dioxde and water.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

According to stoichiometry, 2 moles of 2,3-dimethylbutane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas to give 12 moles of carbon dioxide and 14 moles of water.

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

<em>Step 1</em>. Write the <em>condensed structural  formula</em> for 2,3-dimethylbutane.

(CH_3)_2CHCH(CH_3)_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Write the <em>molecular formula</em>.

C_6H_14

<em>Step 3</em>. Write the <em>unbalanced chemical equation</em>.

C_6H_14 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O

<em>Step 4</em>. Pick the <em>most complicated-looking formula</em> (C_6H_14) and balance its atoms (C and H).

<em>1</em>C_6H_14 + O_2 → <em>6</em>CO_2 + <em>7</em>H_2O

<em>Step 5</em>. Balance the <em>remaining atoms</em> (O).

1C_6H_14 + (<em>19/2</em>)O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Oops! <em>Fractional coefficients</em>!

<em>Step 6</em>. <em>Multiply all coefficients by a number</em> (2) to give integer coeficients..

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

What is the process for extracting oils
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Oil is extracted by three general methods: rendering, used with animal products and oleaginous fruits; mechanical pressing, for oil-bearing seeds and nuts; and extracting with volatile solvents, employed in large-scale operations for a more complete extraction than is possible with pressing.
