As,
5471 kJ heat is given by = 1 mole of Octane
Then,
5310 kJ heat will be given by = X moles of Octane

Solving for X,
X = (5310 kJ × 1 mol) ÷ 5471 kJ

X = 0.970 moles of Ocatne

So, 0.970 moles of Octane will liberate 5310 kJ energy. Now changing moles to mass,
As,
Moles = mass / M.mass
Or,
Mass = Moles × M.mass
Putting values,
Mass = 0.970 mol × 114.23 g/mol

Mass = 110.83 g of Octane

What are the parts of the water system? Label the water wheel to show the matter and forms energy that flow through the system.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Source, processing and distribution are the components of water system.

Explanation:

There are three parts of water system i. e. the source, the processing and distribution. Water is extracted from a source such as underground water, lake or river etc. After extraction this water is transported to the processing unit where it can be purified and after purification it is distributed to all places where it is needed. Potential energy is a form of energy that flows through this water system because the water is extracted from a depth and we know that depth and height refers to potential energy.

Suppose a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O). The total pressure of

julia-pushkina [17]

Considering the definition of mole fraction, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

<h3>Definition of mole fraction</h3>

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

In other words, the mole fraction expresses the concentration of solute in a solution as the ratio of moles of substance to total moles of solution:

$mole fraction=\frac{moles of substance}{moles of solution}$
