I hope this helps and sorry if I am wrong </span>
<span>J.j thomson a british physicist was the first to identify the electron in 1987</span>
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
2C</span>₈H₈ + 25O₂ → 8CO₂ + 18H₂<span>O
LHS: C - 16 RHS: C - 8
H - 16 H - 36
O - 50 O - 34
Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced. This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."
</span>The actual balance equation would be C₈H₈ + 10O₂ → 8CO₂ + 4H₂O
PH + pOH = 14
12.52 + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 12.52
pOH = 1.48
[OH⁻] = 10^ -pOH
[OH⁻] = 10 ^- 1.48
[OH⁻] = 0.033 M
