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.

$2C_{8}H_{8} + 25O_{2}\rightarrow 8CO_{2} + 18H_{2}O$

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.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

has Two oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.

If the temperature on 244 mL of a gas is changed to 488 mL and 6 atm, at constant

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the initial pressure we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the initial pressure

$P_1 = \frac{P_2V_2}{V_1} \\$

From the question we have

$P_1 = \frac{488 \times 6}{244} = \frac{2928}{244} \\$

We have the final answer as

What element is reduced in the following reaction?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
