<span>Benzoin<span> is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is
a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups.</span><span>
To answer your question, </span><span>the balanced oxidation-reduction reaction equation for the
oxidation of benzoin by ammonium nitrate is:
</span>2Ph-C(OH)-C(O)-Ph+NH4NO3
--> 2Ph-C(O)-C(O)-Ph + N2 + 3H2O.</span>

The values of x represents that number of moles of water molecules that is present per mole of the salt magnesium sulfate. To determine the value for this, we need to know how much is the water that is lost after heating the sample assuming that all of the water molecules are evaporated leaving only the unhydrated form of the salt. We calculate as follows:
Mass of hydrated salt = 3.484 g
Mass after heating = 1.701 g
Mass lost = 3.484 g - 1.701 g = 1.783 g
The mass lost is equal to the mass of water lost.
Moles water lost = 1.783 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) = 0.0989 mol H2O
Moles of unhydrated salt = 1.701 g ( 1 mol / 120.37 g ) = 0.0141 mol MgSO4
moles water / moles MgSO4 = 0.0989 mol H2O / 0.0141 mol MgSO4 = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7.
The appropriate answer is b. greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have the ability to trap infrared radiation or heat in the atmosphere. Without these gases the Earth would be thirty degrees cooler than it is today. Pollution today has caused more of these gases to enter the atmosphere and this is the main cause of contemporary global warming.
Ozone in the stratosphere actually blocks another form of radiation called ultraviolet radiation. Geothermal energy is derived from hot rocks inside the earth.
