Answer 2: 1 mole = 6.03 x 1023 particles. One mole of any element has a mass in grams that is equal to its atomic number, and has exactly 6.02 x 1023 atoms - however because the atoms of each element have different sizes and weights, then the volume that each one occupies is different.

Thus we can balance the oxygen atoms by putting a prefix of 25/2 on the left side. To obtain a equation containing whole numbers, we multiply the entire equation by 2. This gives the final equation. 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 ---> 16 CO2 +18 H2O.
Answer:
A scale, or a weight. Both of which are more scientifically referred to as a balance.
