<h2>Answer:</h2>

The chemical reaction that occurs when gasoline and air are ignited is called the combustion reaction.

It is generally known as burning.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Combustion reaction is a chemical reaction between an carbon containing compound (Organic compounds) and oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide.
  • It is always in the presence of oxygen.
  • This reaction is an exothermic reaction, it means it releases energy in form of heat.
  • <em><u>In engines, gasoline which is an organic compound reaction with oxygen and give carbon dioxide and water with an appropriate amount of heat energy. This heat energy is used to run the engine of vehicle.</u></em>

Answer: combustion reaction.


Explanation:


Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons (with some other dded substances in minor proportion).


Assuming a hypothetical composition of the gasoline as C₅H₁₂ (only for explanation purposes), the chemical reaction that occurs when gasoline is burned is represented by:


  • 2C₅H₁₂ + 16O₂  → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O +  energy.

Combustion is a special type of chemical reaction, in which oxygen combines with other substance (element or compound) releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light. It is a very common reaction of the hydrocarbons and the products are carbon dioxide and water in the form of vapor.


The combustion of carbon (C) is a very important and common reaction that has been using to produce energy: C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂ (g)

What is the volume of an object with a density of 2.6 g/cm³ and a mass of 30.5g?
inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>11.73 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}

From the question

mass of object = 30.5 g

Density = 2.6 g/cm³

The volume is

volume =  \frac{30.5}{2.6}  \\  = 11.7307692...

We have the final answer as

<h3>11.73 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot
Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely  to occur  if sulfur  forms an ionic  bond with another  element  is  <u>sulfur  will accept  electrons</u>

     

    <u><em> explanation</em></u>

  • Ionic bond is formed when  a metal react with a non metal.
  • Metal  loses ( donate) electrons  to form cation ( a positively charged  ion) , while  non metal accept (gain)  electrons  to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

  • Sulfur  is a non metal  therefore it  accept  electrons if it form an ionic bond  with a metal. sulfur accept  2 electrons to  form S2- ion
