Is this equation completely balanced? 2C8H8 + 25O2 8CO2 + 18H2O
2 answers:
Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
For an equation to be completely balanced, there should be equal number of reactants and products.
In the given equation.
Number of carbon atoms on reactant side = 16
Number of hydrogen atoms on reactant side = 16
Number of oxygen atoms on reactant side = 50
Number of carbon atoms on product side = 8
Number of hydrogen atoms on product side = 36
Number of oxygen atoms on product side = 34
Hence, we can conclude that total number of reactants does not equal total number of products therefore, this equation is not completely balanced.

To be able to answer this, you need to have a phase diagram of Cu-Ni alloy. Create a vertical line along 40% in the x-axis. Then, create a horizontal line along the temperature at 1,300°C. The intersection lies outside of the α-L boundary. <em>Therefore, the system consist solely of the L-phase: 100% L.</em>
