(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for complete combustion of hexane should be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Chemical equation is written in such a way that the symbolic representation of reaction represents the reaction taking place in the system. The reactants are written on the left-hand side and the products are written on the right-hand side of the equation and are separated by an arrow, two or more reactants and products are separated by “+”. The reactions for those the number of atoms of each element in the reactant and in the product, side are equal, such reactions are said to be a balanced chemical equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for complete combustion of octane should be determined.
