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

During a solvent extraction, a student lost track of which layer was the aqueous layer and which layer was the organic layer. Wh
KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. add a little distilled water to see which layer the water adds to

Explanation:

The problem tells us to keep in mind two major aspects of the test: It has to be <em>simple</em>, as well as <em>non-destructive</em>:

  • Adding distilled water can be made in under a minute, without requiring specialized laboratory equipment, unlike IR.
  • It is also non-destructive, because the contents on either layer won't change due to the added distilled water.

Do all colors of light travel at the same speed
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

No because some lights we cannot see because they move to slow or they move to fast for our eye to see. There is just a small little gap compared to what light rays we can actually see. In this picture you can see what I mean.

Create a graphic representation that illustrates the steps from gene to protein. Label and describe each step.
Vesna [10]

Okay so,

1) Translation- show the RNA strand attatching to a DNA strand with the complimentary base pairs. introns are spliced

2) mRNA leaves the cell and joins with a ribosome

3) Transcription - tRNA (clover shaped) reads each codon (triplets) which each code for an amino acid. The stop codons on the end tell the tRNA that the chain is finished

4) the sequence forms the primary structure (all peptide bonds) which determines the shape of the secondary (hyrdogen and peptide) and hence determines the shape of the tertiary structure of a protein (ionic, hydrogen, disulfide bridges and hydrophibic interactions)


Hope this helps :)
