A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When liquid octane is burned in air it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.4 moles of Oxygen

Explanation:

Data

Octane (C₈H₈)

Oxygen (O₂)

Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Water (H₂O)

moles of water = ?

moles of Oxygen = 1

Balanced chemical reaction

                   C₈H₈  +10O₂  ⇒   8CO₂  +  4H₂O

              Reactant     Element     Products

                    8                 C                 8

                    8                 H                 8  

                   20                O               20  

Use proportions to solve this problem

                  10 moles of Oxygen ----------------- 4 moles of water

                    1 mol of Oxygen     ------------------ x

                    x = (4 x 1) / 10

                    x = 4 / 10

                    x = 0.4 moles of water

Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻  + 6OH⁻ + Si  → 2Mg  +  SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O
