Given: C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

Step : Put a 3 in front of CO2 (g) to balance C

=> C3H8(g) + O2(g) ----> 3CO2 + H2O to balance H

Step 2: Put a 4 in front of H2O

=> C3H8 (g) + O2(g) -----> 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)

Step 3: Given that there are 3*2 + 4 = 10 O to the right side, put a 5 in front of O2 to balance O:

=> C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) -----> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

You can verify that the equation is balanced.

So, the answer is that the coefficient in front of O2 is 5.

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

Incomplete octet
Double bond
Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
The molecules of a substance which must have the ability to move past one another are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
