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 the bromination of arenes, which of the following statements regarding the reaction is true?a.The hydrocarbon is used in exce
Olenka [21]

The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.
