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: I learned about this in school
Explanation:
Its very easy
How does a paper bag wrapped around a hot water bottle create convection?
Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.

Introduction
What do you do when it gets very cold in winter? You probably turn your heater on, put on an extra layer of clothes or cuddle under a warm blanket. But have you ever thought about why a jacket helps you stay warm? Why are our clothes made from fabrics and not foils? Find out the answers in this activity; your results might even help you find the best way to stay warm in the cold!
Background
Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.
Another type of heat transfer is conduction, in which energy moves through a substance (usually a solid) from one particle to another (unlike in convection where it’s the heated matter itself that moves). A pot handle getting hot would be an example of conduction.
Answer:
Na
Explanation:
because sodium has 1 electrons so it loses it to be stable and so have positive charge of 1
3. Conducts electricity in aqueous solution.
