Answer is: seventy eight (78) atoms in this reaction.
In this balanced chemical reaction there are twelve carbon atoms (from two molecules of C₆H₁₄), twenty eight atoms of hydrogen (from two molecules of C₆H₁₄) and thirty eight atoms of oxygen (from nineteen molecules of oxygen):
12C + 28H + 38O = 78 atoms total.

Answer : The total number of atoms reacting in this equation are 78

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

Balanced chemical reaction is the reaction in which the number of atoms of an individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The species present on the left side of the right arrow is the reactant and the species present on the right side of the right arrow is the product.

In the given balanced reaction,

C_6H_{14} and O_2 are reactants.

CO_2 and H_2O are products.

In 2C_6H_{14}+19O_2, there are 12 atoms of carbon, 28 atoms of hydrogen and 38 atoms of oxygen.

The total number of atoms = 12 + 28 + 38 = 78

Hence, the total number of atoms reacting in this equation are 78

In general, which properties are common to elements within a single group on the periodic table?
blsea [12.9K]
Almost all properties are common to elements within a single group on the periodic table. They react with water in the same way, they have the same number of valence electrons thereby having the same valency, the number of shells in the atom of the element increases by one as we move down the group. 

In general, they have the same chemical properties as chemical properties depend on the number of electrons in the valence shell i.e. the outermost shell in the atom of an element.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 56 grams of solute in 959 ml of solution? (molar mass of solute = 26 g/mol)?
jolli1 [7]
26g --- 1 mol
56g --- X
X= 56/26 = 2,154 mol

959 ml = 959cm³ = 0,959dm³

C = n/V
C = 2,154/0,959
C = 2,246 mol/dm³

When a radioactive isotope releases an alpha particle, the atomic number of the atom is (2 points)
natali 33 [55]
When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.
