Answer:

Explanation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

The reaction above is a typical combustion reaction which are very common with hydrocarbons. Combustion occurs in the presence of oxygen to product carbon dioxide and water. The purpose of this reaction is to transform chemical energy into useful heat energy. Most times, the oxygen used is always in excess of the hydrocarbon reacting with it.

what is the balanced equation when copper metal is placed in a solution when platnium ii chloride is placed. what is the equatio

koban [17]

Answer:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the formula of Platinum (II) Chloride. The cation is the atom at the left of the name (in this case $Pt^+^2$ ) and the anion is the atom at the right of the name (in this case $Cl^-$ ). With this in mind, the formula would be $PtCl_2$ .

Now, if we used metallic copper we have to put in the reaction only the copper atom symbol $Cu$ . So, we have as reagents:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->$

The question now is: What would be the products? To answer this, we have to remember "single displacement reactions". With a general reaction:

$A~+~BC->AB~+~C$

With this in mind, the reaction would be:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2$

I hope it helps!

Which of the following statements is true of glare control?

galina1969 [7]

The correct option is B.
Indirect lighting refers to fixtures which direct the light upward to bounce off the wall or ceiling to light a room. This type of lighting is diffusely reflected and create less glare compare to direct lighting. Direct lighting usually direct the light downward, directly on to the surface below to provide illumination.
