Answer: The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene is:

$2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O$

Explanation:

Combustion reactions : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water as a product.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene will be:

$2C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that,

2 mole of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas to produce 12 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water molecule.

Write the chemical equation for fot the reaction between mgcl2 and the soap you preapred

In-s [12.5K]

Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

1. Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa

2. Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂ --------> 2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg + 2 NaCl

2C₁₇H₃₃COOK + MgCl₂ --------> 2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.

On molecular level what I causing the glaciers to melt

MakcuM [25]

Glaciers capture large amount of carbon dioxide from atmosphere. When concentration of carbon dioxide molecules in glaciers increase, then strength and fracture toughness of ice are decreased and <span>that make glaciers vulnerable to cracking and splitting into fragments.
</span>That is because hydrogen bonds between water molecules in glaciers is decreased under increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide who <span>competes with the water molecules connected in the ice crystal.</span>

9. In a period, do the number of shielding electrons change? Why do you think

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases, but the number of inner shielding electrons stays the same.

Explanation:

Their shielding does not change, so the effective nuclear charge — the charge felt by a valence electron — increases.

The valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.

For example, consider the elements of Period 3.

$\begin{array}{ccccc}& & \textbf{Number of} & \textbf{Inner} & \textbf{Valence}\\\textbf{At. No.} & \textbf{Symbol} & \textbf{Protons} & \textbf{Electrons} & \textbf{Electrons}\\11& \text{Na} & 11 & 10 & 1\\12& \text{Mg} &12 & 10 & 2\\13& \text{Al} & 13 & 10 & 3 \\14& \text{Si} & 14 & 10 & 4 \\15& \text{P} & 15 & 10 & 5\\16& \text{S} & 16 & 10 & 6\\17& \text{Cl} & 17 & 10 & 7\\18& \text{Ar} & 18 & 10 & 8 \\\end{array}$

The number of protons increases as you go from one element to the next, but the number of inner electrons is constant.

An object was measured by a worker as

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{2.8 \, \%}$

Explanation:

$\text{Percent error} = \dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \, \%$

Data:

Predicted = 17.4 cm

Actual = 17.9 cm

Calculation:

$\text{Percent error} = \dfrac{\lvert 17.4 - 17.9\lvert}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% \\\\= \dfrac{\lvert-0.5\lvert}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% = \dfrac{0.5}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% \\\\= 0.028 \times 100 \, \% = \textbf{2.8 \%}\\\\\text{The percent error in the measurement is } \boxed{\textbf{2.8 \%}}$
