Calculate the number of pounds of CO2CO2 released into the atmosphere when a 22.0 gallon22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned i

n an automobile engine. Assume that gasoline is primarily octane, C8H18,C8H18, and that the density of gasoline is 0.692 g⋅mL−1.0.692 g⋅mL−1. This assumption ignores additives. Also, assume complete combustion. CO2CO2 released:

Answer:

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Explanation:

Density of the gasoline ,d= 0.692 g/mL

Volume of gasoline in an tanks,V = 22.0 gallons = 83,279.02 mL

Let mass of the gasoline be M

Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

M = V × d = 83,279.02 mL × 0.692 g/mL=57,629.081 g

Given that gasoline is primarily octane.

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Mass of octane burnt in the tank = M = 57,629.081 g

Moles of octane =\frac{57,629.081 g}{114.08g/mol}=505.1637 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then 505.1637 mol of octane will give:

\frac{16}{2}\times 505.1637 mol=4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide:

4,041.3100 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 177,858.05 g

Mass of carbon-dioxide produced in pounds = 391.28771 pounds

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public. true or false?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

  • <u>TRUE:</u> <em>Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public</em>

Explanation:

In chemistry there are many <em>concentration measurements</em> used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.

Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.

The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.

The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).

For solutions, mass percent concentration is:

  • % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.

And voluem percen contration is:

  • % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100

Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.

For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.

In which Colorado Rockies scenario was there more erosion? Why was there more erosion in the scenario?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Erosion in the Colorado Rookies Scenario that record a ready rain were more than the other scenario in the same area with just a drizzle. The Erosion is much in the Colorado Rockies Scenario that record a steady rain because the volume of the rivers has goes up compare to that of the Scenario with just a drizzle. As a result of the increased in the amount of the rivers bank that is flowing, the river flows more faster which helps in the transportation of the sediments or Erodes.

Calculate ∆G ◦ r for the decomposition of mercury(II) oxide 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(ℓ) + O2(g) ∆H◦ f −90.83 − − (kJ · mol−1 ) ∆S ◦ m 70.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

4. +117,1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔG of a reaction is:

ΔGr = ΔHr - TΔSr <em>(1)</em>

For the reaction:

2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

ΔHr: 2ΔHf Hg(l) + ΔHf O₂(g) - 2ΔHf HgO(s)

As ΔHf of Hg(l) and ΔHf O₂(g) are 0:

ΔHr: - 2ΔHf HgO(s) = <u><em>181,66 kJ/mol</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

In the same way ΔSr is:

ΔSr= 2ΔS° Hg(l) + ΔS° O₂(g) - 2ΔS° HgO(s)

ΔSr= 2* 76,02J/Kmol + 205,14 J/Kmol - 2*70,19 J/Kmol

ΔSr= 216,8 J/Kmol = <em><u>0,216 kJ/Kmol</u></em>

Thus, ΔGr at 298K is:

ΔGr = 181,66 kJ/mol - 298K*0,216kJ/Kmol

ΔGr = +117,3 kJ/mol ≈ <em>4. +117,1 kJ/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Chemistry what is stoichiometry and the different formulas
USPshnik [31]
Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers. Hoped this helped!!!!. Also if you are trying to look for the formulas it should be online just type in stoichometry formulas.
