<h3>Answer:</h3>

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

In this case;

Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms

An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

A chemist adds of a calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has

Elanso [62]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist adds 0.85 L of a 0.0050M calcium sulfate to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: The mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

moles of $CaSO_4$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{136g/mol}$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$0.0050=\frac{x}{136\times 0.85}$

$x=0.58 g$

Therefore, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

Explain why the statement “The speed of light is 300 million m/s” is not always correct.

levacccp [35]

Because the speed of light is determined by the medium that is it in. If light is in a vacuum it goes 300 million meters per second but it is slower in air, and even slower in water because water is more dense than the previous two.

What is the temperature -39C expressed in kelvins?

Gre4nikov [31]

The Celsius temperature scale, also commonly referred to as the centigrade scale, is defined in terms of the kelvin. Specifically, degrees Celsius is equal to kelvins minus 273.15. The degree Celsius is the SI derived unit for temperature in the metric system.
