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)

For the reaction, X + Y → A + B, ΔGo is –1324 kJ. Which one of the following statements is NOT valid concerning the reaction?
natima [27]

Answer:

c. The reaction will proceed rapidly from left to right.

Explanation:

The variation of the free Gibbs energy doesn't tell anything about the speed of reaction.

On the other hand, when ΔGo is negative: the reaction is spontaneous, thermodynamically favourable, and the products are more stable than the reactants

Why chlorine is more reactive than hydrogen​
Lynna [10]

Answer:

<em>Hi Todoroki here!!! </em>

Explanation:

Chlorine has the electron configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 5, with the seven electrons in the third and outermost shell acting as its valence electrons. Like all halogens, it is thus one electron short of a full octet, and is hence a strong oxidising agent, reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell.

<em>Your welcome!!</em>

Answer:

Explanation:

The wavelength is the distance between two adjacent wavefronts. ... If the wave crosses to the new medium at an angle (not 90 degrees), the change ... When light enters a more optically dense medium, it is refracted closer to the normal. the same as the critical angle, light will travel along the boundary of the 2 mediums.
