Answer: C18H30O15 (solid)  + 9 O2 (Gas) --> 18 CO2 (Gas) + 15 H20 (Liquid)

Explanation:

So we know that the products of combustion are water vapor and carbon dioxide so we can put those there under the products. Also it needs to react with fire so the other reaction is gonna be oxygen gas. So if we balance out the equations by multiplying the Carbon Dioxide to reach the necessary amount of Carbon, and water so that we can reach the required amount of Hydrogen, all we would need to do is add oxygen to the left side which we already have a molecule for that.

Answer:

C18H30O15(s) + 18O2(g) → 18CO2(g) + 15H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The reactants are C18H30O15 and O2

The products of a combustion reaction are CO2 and H2O

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

C18H30O15(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

C18H30O15(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 18x C, on the right side we have 1x C (in CO2). To balance the amount of C on both sides, we have to multiply CO2 on the right side by 18

C18H30O15(s) + O2(g) → 18CO2(g) + H2O(l)

On the left side we have 30X H, on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To  balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side by 15.

C18H30O15(s) + O2(g) → 18CO2(g) + 15H2O(l)

On the left side we have 17X O, on the right side we have 51x O (36x in CO2 and 15x in H2O). To  balance the amount of O on both sides, we have to multiply O2 on the left side by 18. Now the equation is balanced.

C18H30O15(s) + 18O2(g) → 18CO2(g) + 15H2O(l)

In which system does a spontaneous redox reaction produce electrical energy?
Vladimir [108]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
When we say that a redox reaction is spontaneous, this would mean that there is a formation of positive voltage <span>across the electrodes of a voltaic cell. Therefore, the system that this kind of reaction produces electrical energy is in a GALVANIC CELL. Hope this helps.</span>

5.2 km to mm.
1km = 1000m
= 5.2 * 1000m.
=5200 m.                  1m = 1000mm

= 5200 * 1000mm
= 5200000 mm

3.00 L of a gas is collected at 35.0°C and 705.0 mmHg. What is the volume at STP?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

2.47L

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation as follows:

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 705mmHg

P2 = 760mmHg (STP)

V1 = 3.00L

V2 = ?

T1 = 35°C = 35 + 273 = 308K

T2 = 273K (STP)

Using P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

705 × 3/308 = 760 × V2/273

2115/308 = 760V2/273

Cross multiply

308 × 760V2 = 2115 × 273

234,080V2 = 577,395

V2 = 577,395 ÷ 234,080

V2 = 2.47L
