<span>During complete combustion, the hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen (O2) to from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). For the combustion of one molecule of octane, 8 molecules of CO2 and 9 molecules of H2O must be formed to account for all the atoms of carbon and hydrogen in the octane. This requires 25 atoms of oxygen, or 12.5 molecules of O2: C8H18+12.5*O2=9*H2O+8*CO2 Multiply both sides by 2 to obtain whole number coefficients: 2*C8H18+25*O2=18*H2O+16*CO2 The coefficient of carbon dioxide in the balanced equation is 16.</span>

Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3. Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.79 kg .
Kazeer [188]
M = 4.79 kg = 4790 g
d = 7.86 g/cm3
density = mass/volume
v = m/d
v = 4790/7.86
v = 609.4 cm3
1 cm3 = 10^-2 dL

v = 609.4 x 0.01 = 6.09 dL

Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why ammonia has a higher boiling point than the other compounds in the ta
Kobotan [32]
Answer is: ammonia has a higher boiling point because it has stronger intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular forces<span> are the forces between </span><span>molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
</span>There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, i<span>on-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.</span>

How many years old are you if you have lived 1 billion seconds 31 years round this answer to 3 sig figs
stich3 [128]

Answer:

age = 63.2 years

Explanation:

Given data

Number of years = 31

number of seconds = 1 billion

Age = ?

Solution

First we convert seconds to minutes

minutes = 1000000000 / 60

minutes = 16666666.667

Now convert minutes to hours

hours = 16666666.667 / 60

hours = 277777.778

Now convert hours to days

days = 277777.778 / 24

days = 11574.074

Now convert days to months

months = 11574.074 / 30

months = 385.802

Now convert months to years

years = 385.803 / 12

years = 32.15

Now add these years with given years

age = 31 + 32.15

age = 63.2 years
