April 14, 200818 yr How does this look? C4H9OH + 6O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O That is correct! Good job, BF! Want another?
April 14, 200818 yr That is correct! Good job, BF! Want another? Yes. This is so cathartic. I'm getting to re-write all my teenage scholastic traumas. Just don't start talking about electron cloud formations or bonding or.... Once, when asked to identify a particular electron cloud formation, I said...cumulus. Just so you know what you're dealin' with here.
April 14, 200818 yr Yes. This is so cathartic. I'm getting to re-write all my teenage scholastic traumas. Just don't start talking about electron cloud formations or bonding or....

Just so you know what you're dealin' with here. :laugh: Maybe that's the reason we don't call them "electron clouds" anymore! Here you go This is the burning of gasoline (octane) in your car's engine (assuming it is pure and undergoes complete combustion): C8H18 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
April 14, 200818 yr :Maybe that's the reason we don't call them "electron clouds" anymore!Oh great! Now you've changed the name on me?

Here you go This is the burning of gasoline (octanol) in your car's engine (assuming it is pure and undergoes complete combustion): C8H18 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O 2C8H18+25O2 --> 16CO2 + 18H2O And that's my final answer.
April 14, 200818 yr Oh great! Now you've changed the name on me? Now we call them Bohr models...and even condense them into something called Lewis Dot Diagrams!
April 14, 200818 yr Well, the good news is, I either got it right, or am not alone in my ineptitude. The bad news is, I didn't get it first. :irked:
April 14, 200818 yr Now we call them Bohr models...and even condense them into something called Lewis Dot Diagrams!Man, I hated all those rings and barbells and trying to fit molecules together. The schools have a criterion now that would keep me from ever getting into that advanced chem class today. I think they call it the Pauli Shore Exclusion Principle.

And yes...you and 20/20 both got it right! :thumb:
April 15, 200818 yr Author BF, The next lesson is types of reactions. I have some practice problems if you want to expose your brain to some more chemistry lessons. Hey, I even brushed off the cobwebs when balancing these problems
April 15, 200818 yr BF, The next lesson is types of reactions. I have some practice problems if you want to expose your brain to some more chemistry lessons. Hey, I even brushed off the cobwebs when balancing these problemsGo ahead and hit me. But outside of exothermic and endothermic, I'm pretty much out of luck.
April 15, 200818 yr Author determining the type of reaction given a balanced chemical equation. Remember, there are four types of reactions we will deal with in this lesson. They are: Synthesis which follows the pattern A + B - -> AB Decomposition which follows the pattern AB - -> A + B Single Replacement which follows the pattern A + BC - -> AC + B (A has switched places with B) Double Replacement which follows pattern AB + BC - -> AC + BC (A and B have switched places) Practice Set 1 2H2 + O2- -> 2H2 Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 2NaCl -> 2Na + CL2 FeS + 2HCl -> H2S + FeCl2 Cu + 2Ag(NO3) -> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2
