Consider the following unbalanced equation for the combustion of hexane: αc6h14(g)+βo2(g)→γco2(g)+δh2o(g) part a balance the equation. give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α, β, γ, use the least possible integers for the coefficients. α α , β, γ, δ = nothing request answer part b determine how many moles of o2 are required to react completely with 5.6 moles c6h14. express your answer using two significant figures. n n = nothing mol request answer provide feedback

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

α =2

β = 19

γ = 12

δ = 14

53.2moles of O₂

Explanation:

Proper equation of the reaction:

                    αC₆H₁₄ + βO₂ → γCO₂ + δH₂O

This is a combustion reaction for a hydrocarbon. For the combustion of a hydrocarbon, the combustion equation is given below:

         CₓHₙ + (x + )O₂ → xCO₂ + H₂O

From the given combustion equation, x = 6 and n = 14

Therefore:

β = x + = 6 + = 6 + 3.5 = 9

γ = 6

δ = = = 7

The complete reaction equation is therefore given as:

                   C₆H₁₄ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O

To express as whole number integers, we multiply the coefficients through by 2:

                  2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

Problem 2

           From the reaction:

2 moles of hexane are required to completely react with 19 moles of O₂

∴ 5.6 moles of hexane would react with k moles of O₂

This gives:     5.6 x 19 = 2k

                        k =

                        k = 53.2moles of O₂

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
