To determine:
The complete and balanced chemical equation for combustion of octanoic acid.
Introduction:
As per the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants that take part in the reaction is equal to the mass of product formed in the reaction. This means if one atom of an element takes part in the reaction, then the products also contain one atom of the same element, as mass of the atoms is always conserved in a
To determine:
The reactant which is oxidized and the one which is reduced.
Introduction:
A species in a given chemical reaction is said to be oxidized if it undergoes the addition of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen atom.
A species is said to be reduced if it loses oxygen.
