Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂  +  ?O₂→  ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the  right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂  + 16O₂→  10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂  + 8O₂→  5CO₂ + 6H₂O

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH
Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

    No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                           = \frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}

                           = 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

              Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                 1 g/ml = \frac{100 g}{volume}

                    volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                           = \frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}

                           = 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

     NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O

So,          moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

          x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M     (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

                        x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.

Carbon burns in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide. Which chemical equation describes this reaction?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that for writing a chemical reaction equation, reactants are written on left hand side whereas products are written on right hand side.

And in between reactants and products a forward arrow is placed pointing towards the products.

Therefore, the reaction for carbon burns in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide will be written as follows.

          Carbon + Oxygen \rightarrow Carbon dioxide

Here, carbon and oxygen atoms are the reactants whereas carbon dioxide is the product.
