Answer:
B) a substance's color and odor changed Explanation: A signal that a chemical change has occurred is when its odor (its smell) or its appearance has changed.
A free-radical substitution reaction is likely to be responsible for the observations. The reaction mechanism of a reaction like this can be grouped into three phases:
- Initiation; the "light" on the mixture deliver sufficient amount of energy such that the halogen molecules undergo homologous fission. It typically takes ultraviolet radiation to initiate fissions of the bonds.
- Propagation; free radicals react with molecules to produce new free radicals and molecules.
- Termination; two free radicals combine and form covalent bonds to produce stable molecules. Note that it is possible for two carbon-containing free-radicals to combine, leading to the production of trace amounts of long carbon chains in the product.

Answer:
The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The combustion reaction of octane produces 5104.1 kJ per mol octane
Step 2: The balanced equation
C8H18(g) + 12.5 O2 ⟶ 8CO2 (g) + 9 H2O (g) ∆H°rxn = -5104.1 kJ/mol
Step 3:
∆H°rxn = ∆H°f of products minus the ∆H° of reactants
∆H°rxn = ∆H°f products - [∆H°f reactants]
-5104.1 kJ/mol = (8*∆H°fCO2 + 9*∆H°fH20) - (∆H°fC8H18 + 12.5∆H°fO2)
∆H°f C8H18 = ∆H°f 8CO2 + ∆H°f 9H2O+ 5104.1 kJ/mol
∆H°f C8H18 = 8 * (-393.5 kJ)/mol + 9 * (-241.8 kJ/mol)] + 5104.1 kJ
/mol
∆H°f C8H18 = -220.1 kJ/mol
The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol
Observation : a piece of info we all gather through our 5 senses
Hypotheses: a testable explanation for an observation
Data: info that scientists gather during an experiment
Experiment: a procedure that is designed to test a hypothesis
