Octane (C8H18), a component of gasoline, reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. Write the balanced chemical reaction for this process by passing a single piece of paper around your group, having each group member complete the next logical step. As you each complete your step, explain your reasoning to the group.

It would be really hard to measure the mass of the foam explosion. How does knowing the amount of liquid they started with help predict how much foam there is? (a) The mass of the foam should be twice as much as the liquid they started with (b) the mass of the foam should be equal to the mass of the individual elements that were formed (c) the mass of the foam should be half the mass of the liquid they started with (d) the mass of the foam should be the same as the mass of the liquid they started with

If you eat metallic sodium or inhale a large dose of chlorine gas, you stand a strong chance of dying. Let these two elements react with each other, however, and you can safely sprinkle the compound on your popcorn for better taste. Explain what is going on?
Formula mass of H20 3D | (2 Н atoms) * (1.01 aти)) + (10 atoт) * (16.00 ати)] — 18. 02 ати Water (H2O) has two H atoms, so the atomic mass of one H atom (found on the periodic table) must be multiplied by two. As only one oxygen atom is in the compound, the atomic mass of an O atom is multiplied by the number one. Let's look at a slightly more difficult example. Take a minute and calculate the formula mass of the compound, aluminum carbonate, Al2(CO3)3, in the box below. Show all of your work. Show work here:
Boron trifluoride is used as a catalyst in the synthesis of or-ganic compounds. When this compound is analyzed by massspectrometry several different 1+ ions form, including ions representing the whole molecule as well as molecular fragments formed by the loss of one,two, and three F atoms. Given that boron has two naturally occurring isotopes, ¹⁰B and ¹¹B, and fluorine has one, ¹⁹F, calculate the masses of all possible 1+ ions
Lactic acid, found in sour milk, dill pickles, and sauerkraut, has the functional groups of both an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
