Is this equation completely balanced? 2C8H8 + 25O2 8CO2 + 18H2O No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on

both sides of the equation are not equal. No, because the number of oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal. Yes, because all of the coefficients are in their lowest whole number ratio. No, because the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal. Yes, because the number of products is equal to the number of reactants.

<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

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 154 at 298 K.2NO(g) + Br2(g) 2NOBr(g)A reaction mixture was found to contain 4.64×10-
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The reaction is not at equilibrium and reaction must run in forward direction.

Explanation:

At the given interval, concentration of NO = \frac{4.64\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.64\times 10^{-2}M

Concentration of Br_{2} = \frac{4.56\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.56\times 10^{-2}M

Concentration of NOBr = \frac{0.102}{1}M=0.102M

Reaction quotient,Q_{c} , for this reaction = \frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]}

species inside third bracket represents concentrations at the given interval.

So, Q_{c}=\frac{(0.102)^{2}}{(4.64\times 10^{-2})^{2}\times (4.56\times 10^{-2})}=106

So, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

As Q_{c}< K_{c} therefore reaction must run in forward direction to increase Q_{c} and make it equal to K_{c}.

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
Irina18 [472]
Remembering that
d = m ÷ v

d = ?
m = 89 g
v = 10 cm³

Therefore:

d = 89 ÷ 10

d = 8,9 g÷cm³

Read the word equation: “Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces __________.”
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

This is the initial chemical equation: C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

This is the balanced chemical equation: C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
