Thus we can balance the oxygen atoms by putting a prefix of 25/2 on the left side. To obtain a equation containing whole numbers, we multiply the entire equation by 2. This gives the final equation. 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 ---> 16 CO2 +18 H2O.
If you are given the
standard potential for the reduction of X^2+ is +0.51 V, and the standard
potential for the reduction of A^2+ is -0.33, just add the two. The standard
potential for an electrochemical cell with the cell is 0.18V
Increase in kinetic energy as well as energy loss to the surroundings in the form of heat ( negligible)
