Answer:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ —> 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ —> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction above is simply termed combustion reaction in which an organic compound react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Thus, we can obtain the balanced equation for the reaction reaction as follow:

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 8 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 8 before CO₂ as shown below:

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ —> 8CO₂ + H₂O

There are 18 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 9 before H₂O as shown below:

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ —> 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 25 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 25/2 before O₂ as shown below:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ —> 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

Thus, the equation is balanced!

The above equation can also be written as follow:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ —> 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

Multiply through by 2

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ —> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

What mass of HBO2 is produced from the<br> combustion of 139.5 g of B2H6?<br> Answer in units of g.
aliina [53]

Answer:

m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the combustion of B2H6 is:

B_2H_6+3O_2\rightarrow 2HBO_2+2H_2O

Thus, since there is 1:2 mole ratio between the reactant and product, the produced grams of the latter is:

m_{HBO_2}=139.5gB_2H_6*\frac{1molB_2H_6}{27.67gB_2H_6} *\frac{2molHBO_2}{1molB_2H_6} *\frac{43.82gHBO_2}{1molHBO_2}

m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2

Best regards!

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

1\times 231 =231 sandwiches

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

231\times 2=462

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462  bread slices :

\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.
