Balance the combustion reaction between octane and oxygen. 2C8H18 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Chemistry

Ber [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

A balanced reaction is a reaction where there are equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, 2C_{8}H_{18} + O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + H_{2}O

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • C = 16
  • H = 36
  • O = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • C = 1
  • H = 2
  • O = 3

Therefore, in order to balance the equation we multiply O_{2} by 25 on reactant side and multiply CO_{2} by 16 and H_{2}O by 18.

Thus, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

       2C_{8}H_{18} + 25O_{2} \rightarrow 16CO_{2} + 18H_{2}O

What is the cell potential for the reaction mg(s+fe2+(aq?mg2+(aq+fe(s at 77 ?c when [fe2+]= 3.40 m and [mg2+]= 0.210 m . express
Galina-37 [17]
First, you need to calculate the standard cell potential using standard reduction potential from a textbook or online. Since Mg becomes Mg+2, magnesium is being oxidized because it is losing electrons, you need to flip its potential

Fe+2 + 2e- --> Fe                  potential= -0.44
Mg+2 + 2e- --> Mg                potential= -2.37


Cell potential= (-0.44) + (+2.37)= 1.93 V

Now, you need to use Nernst formula to get the answer. I have attached a PDF with the work.

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford’s experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.a. The atom cont
Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.  

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d

Calculate the volume of water which was liberated during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is :

The normal equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide indicates that 2 vol. peroxide vapor should give rise to 2 vol. water vapor and 1 vol. oxygen.

What is hydrogen peroxide ?

  • Hydrogen peroxide is water (H2O) with an extra oxygen molecule (H2O2).
  • The extra oxygen molecule oxidizes, which is how peroxide gets its power says Dr. Beers.
  • This oxidation kills germs and bleaches color from porous surfaces like fabrics.
  • Hydrogen peroxide is found in biological systems including the human body.
  • Enzymes that use or decompose hydrogen peroxide are classified as peroxidases.
