Answer:
16. Option c.
Explanation:
The reaction is:
C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Let's count, we have 8 C, 18 H and 2 O in reactant side
We have 1 C, 2 H and 3 O in product side
In order to balance the C, we add 8 to CO₂ and to balance the H, we add a 9 to H₂O
Now we have 8 C on both sides and 18 H On both sides. Finally we have 25 O on product side.
C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O
To balance the O in product side we must add 25/2, but as it is a rational number, we must multiply x2 to get an integer number (x2 in all the stoichiometry). The balanced reaction is :
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
with 16 C, 36 H and 50 O, on both sides
Important of Grignard Reagent :
Grignard reactions are main due to their capacity to form carbon-carbon bonds. Grignard reagents are powerful bases and will react with protic compounds which makes them exceptionally valuable implement for organic synthesis.
Grignard reagents react fastly with acidic hydrogen atoms in molecules such as alcohols and water. When a Grignard reagent reacts with water, a proton return back halogen, and the product is an alkane. The Grignard reagent therefore provides a trace for transforming a haloalkane to an alkane in two steps.
When reacted with water,
RMgX + H2O -------> R-H + MgOH X
R ---- Alkyl Group
X --- Halogen
