This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.
C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.
I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.
Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O
First you need to balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get
C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O
Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:
C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O
Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:
=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.
You can verify that the equation is balanced

Burning is a chemical change and cutting grass is a physical change
Answer:
46.40 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
- It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
- We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>
n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.
<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>
4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.
0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.
∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.
- Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:
∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
Yes. Stars use fusion to create nuclear energy, which is what makes them "alive". The older they are, the "bigger" the element in them is. Hydrogen turns into Helium, and when hydrogen is used up, the helium starts fusing into bigger elements. it stops at iron however. Once stars start fusing silicon to iron, it is doomed because it takes more energy than it gives off.
