From the combustion of octane, the formaldehyde will be formed as this equation:
C8H18 + O2 → CH2O + H2O this is the original equation but it is not a balanced equation, so let's start to balance it:
the equation to be balanced so the number of atoms on the right side of the equation sholud be equal with the number of atoms on the lef side.
-we have 8 C atoms on left side and 1 atom on the right side so we will try putting 8 CH2O on the right side instead of CH2O
C8H18 + O2 → 8 CH2O + H2O
we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 9 atoms on the right side so we will try first to put 9 O2 instead of O2 on the left side and put 2H2O on the right side and put 16 CH2O instead of 8 CH2O to make the atoms of O are equal on both sides = 18 atoms
C8H18 + 9 O2 → 16 CH2O + 2H2O
put now we have 8 atom C on the left side and 16 atom on the right side so, we will put 2 C8H18 instead of C8H18 now we get this equation:
2C8H18 + 9O2 →16 CH2O + 2H2O
-now we have 36 of H atoms on both sides.
- and 16 of C atoms on both sides.
- and 18 of O atoms on both sides.
now all the number of atoms of O & C & H are equal on both sides
∴ 2C8H18 + 9O2 → 16 CH2O + 2 H2O
is the final balanced equation for the formation of formaldehayde
Answer: The correct option is D.
Explanation: Nonmetallic minerals are the chemical elements from which no new product can be formed when they are melted. For Example: Sand, marble etc..
For the given options:
Option A: Wood is a type of cellulose and is not considered as a nonmetallic mineral resource.
Option B: Iron is an element because it is the smallest substance which cannot be broken down. It is not considered as a nonmetallic mineral resource.
Option C: Coal is a mixture of carbon compounds. This is very close to mineral but is an organic mineral because it contains carbon atom. Hence, it is not considered as a nonmetallic mineral resource.
Option D: Aggregate is formed by the collection of particles forming a whole mass. This is a non-metallic resource as it cannot form any new product.
Hence, the correct option is D.
"Pent" is five, "ene" means double bonded carbon
