5 0
<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.

An electrochemical cell is powered by the half reactions shown below.
andrezito [222]
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation. 

To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign. 

Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e-      E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e-  ---> Ag           E0 = +0.80 V

Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.

Lewis Diagrams- Grade 10 Chemistry<br><br> Please can someone explain this to me?
natita [175]
Lewis diagram:
well first you have to know the Valence electrons the elements which will on top of the periodic table.

for examples:
H2O
it will be O-H-O and the dots will on top. oxygen have 6 valence electrons so that mean it need 6 dots. also for H it will have 7 V-electrons.

Which component is required for the activation of some enzymes?
shepuryov [24]
The best answer is letter A. 
The main factors that change the speed of enzymatic reactions are temperature, pH and substrate concentration (quantity). <span>There are enzymes that need other associated molecules to work. These molecules are called enzyme co-factors. They can be organic ions like mineral salts.</span>
