Final answer:

Combustion of pentanol with oxygen yields carbon dioxide and water. A precipitation reaction between ammonium chloride and calcium hydroxide forms ammonia, water, and calcium chloride. Strontium sulfide and copper(II) sulfate react to produce strontium sulfate precipitate and copper metal.

Step-by-step explanation:

When combining liquid pentanol (C5H12O) and gaseous oxygen, the chemical equation representing their combustion could be: 2 C5H12O(l) + 15 O2(g) → 10 CO2(g) + 12 H2O(l)

In this case, the products are carbon dioxide gas and liquid water, and this type of reaction is known as a combustion reaction.

For the reaction between aqueous ammonium chloride and aqueous calcium hydroxide, a precipitation reaction occurs, and the chemical equation is: 2 NH4Cl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → 2 NH3(g) + CaCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

This reaction releases ammonia gas, and the products include aqueous calcium chloride and liquid water.

The reaction between aqueous strontium sulfide and aqueous copper(II) sulfate yields a solid precipitate of strontium sulfate. The chemical equation is: SrS(aq) + CuSO4(aq) → SrSO4(s) + Cu(s)

Strontium sulfate is the insoluble precipitate formed, evident from the phase 's' indicating solid, while copper metal is also produced in this reaction.

Answer:

A) C₅H₁₂O(l) + 7.5 O₂(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l)

B) No reaction

C) SrS(aq) + CuSO₄(aq) → CuS(s)↓ + SrSO₄(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) liquid pentanol (C₅H₁₂O) and gaseous oxygen.

This is a combustion reaction. assuming the combustion is complete, the products are CO₂ and H₂O.

C₅H₁₂O(l) + 7.5 O₂(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l)

B) aqueous ammonium chloride and aqueous calcium hydroxide.

We could expect a double displacement reaction to take place. But since the products are CaCl₂ and NH₄OH, both of them soluble, no reaction occurs.

C)aqueous strontium sulfide and aqueous copper(II) sulfate.

This is a double displacement reaction. The formed precipitate is CuS.

SrS(aq) + CuSO₄(aq) → CuS(s)↓ + SrSO₄(aq)
