The coefficients of the hydrocarbon and water is 61 and it is explained below.

Explanation:

We have to balance the chemical equation that describes the combustion of octane C₈H₁₈. The combustion of octane involves burning this hydrocarbon in the presence of excess oxygen,O 2. Because octane is a hydrocarbon, that is the compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen, the reaction will produce two products carbon dioxide CO 2 and water H 2 O.

The unbalanced chemical equation is

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

To balance this equation, we have 8 present on the reactant side, so multiply the carbon dioxide by 8 to get 8 atoms of carbon on the products side.

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → 8 CO₂ + H₂O

Now, we have 18 on the reactant side and 2 on the products side, so multiply the water molecule by 9 to get

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

8 * 2 atoms O + 9 *1 atoms O = 25 atoms O

By adding fractional coefficient to O₂ we get

C₈H₁₈ + $\frac{25}{2}$ O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Multiply all the coefficients by 2 we get,

2C₈H₁₈ + ( $\frac{25}{2}$ * 2) O₂ → 8 * 2 CO₂ + 9* 2 H₂O

The balance equation is

2C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O

Add the coefficients to get their sum

= 2 +25 + 16 +18 = 61

Thus, The coefficients of the hydrocarbon and water is 61

Select all of the chirality centers in the structure. a selected atom will turn green.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The answer is C is attached to four unique gatherings A, B C and D, Thus it frame two optical isomers as the perfect representations of one another.

Explanation:

A critical class of isomers in which mixes have the equivalent sub-atomic recipe and structure, yet the distinction emerges from the introduction of the gatherings in the 3D space. Optical isomers are called as enantiomers. Enantiomers are optical isomers whose identical representations are non-superimpose. They turn the plane enraptured light inverse way. Optical action is characterized as the capacity of a choral atom to pivot the plane energized light. The enantiomers that pivots the plane energized light a clockwise way is called extraordinary, while the one that turns the plane spellbound light an anticlockwise way is called rotatory. Basics , Centrality is the major behind the optical movement of a natural atom. Choral focus: A'C' particle in a particle turns into a choral focus when all the four valences of that molecule are fulfilled by synthetically unique gatherings.

Classify the following as a type of potential energy or kinetic energy (use the letters K or P)

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

1. Use these definitions:


i) Kinetic energy (KE) is energy in action in virtue of the motion. KE = (1/2)mv². You can tell there is KE wthen the object is moving.


ii) Potential energy (PE) is a stored energy. You notice the PE once it is transformed into another form of energy, for example into kinetic energy or heat, or light. The maing forms of potential energy are gravitational potential energy (mgh), elastic potential energy (1/2)kx², and chemical potential energy.


2) Answers


1. A bicyclist pedaling up a hill: K

In virtue of the motion (speed) the byciclist has kinetic energy. Neverthelles, the pedalyst also has potential energy, which you could notice if she stops pedaling, because then she would start to go down the hill without pedaling.

2. An archer with his bow drawn : P


The bow will have elastic potential energy in virtue of which the arrow will be throwm as soon as the archer release it.

3. A volleyball player spiking a ball K

The ball will have kinetic energy in virtue of its speed 

4. A baseball thrown to second base: K


The baseball will have kinetic energy in virtue of its speed.


5. The chemical bonds in sugar: P


The bonds have stored potential energy. This energy is named chemical energy. When the bonds break they release energy in the form of heat, light or sound.

6. The wind blowing over a tree: K


The wind is moving, so it has kinetic energy. You notice the energy of the wind because it is capable to move the leaves or even the same tree, The same happens when the wind moves the blades of a windmill.

7. Walking down the street: K


When you walk you are moving, so you have speed and that is kinetic energy.

8. Sitting at the top of a tree: P


Sitting on a high place gives you potential energy (mgh). You potentially can suffer an injure if you fall down. The potencial energy transforms into kinetic energy when you fall down.


9. A bowling ball rolling down the alley: K


The ball is rotating and translating. It has angular speed and traslational speed.Both are kinetic energies.

10. A bowling ball sitting on the rack: P


While the ball is on the rack, it has the possibility to fall down. The ball can fall off the rack and hit the floor or your foot. The stored (potential) energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.
