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

kolezko [41]
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:

15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen

How many total atoms are in 0.920 g of P2O5?
lions [1.4K]
Molar mass P2O5 = 31 x 2 + 16 x 5 => 142 g/mol


142 g ---------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.920g g ------------ ( molecules )

molecules = 0.920 x ( 6.02 x 10²³ ) / 142

molecules = 5.53 x 10²³ / 142

= 3.89 x 10²¹ molecules

1 molecule P2O5 -------------------------- 7 atoms
3.89 x 10²¹ molecules -------------------- ( atoms )

atoms = ( 3.89 x 10²¹) x 7 / 1

atoms = 2.72 x 10²² atoms of P2O5

hope this helps!

Balanced equation(That should be NaClO_3)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Cl_2+2NaOH\longrightarrow NaCl+NaClO_3+H_2O

Remember that it's a ionic equation not general equation

So

We have to balance it accordingly
