An internal combustion engine relies primarily on the efficient production of energy by the combination of oxygen (02) and gasol

ine (assume this is primarily octane, C8H18). Write the chemical equation for this reaction and derive the exact ratio of oxygen to octane for 100% efficiency.

Answer is: <span>the exact ratio of oxygen to octane for is 12.5 : 1.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O or multiply by 2:
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O.
There same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction: eight carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms and twenty five oxygen atoms.

What did you observe<br> when heat was added to the penny with iodine?
Andru [333]
This is a difficult task because zinc is much more active than copper and could hardly be passivated. ... The sur- face immediately turns white (the color of copper(I) iodide) and the yellow-brown color of iodine quickly fades. Rinse the coin with water, brighten it with polish and cloth and begin the whole process again.N

What is the electron configuration of an element with atomic number 20? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 B. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 C. 1s2 2s2
Cerrena [4.2K]

D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.
