True, cracking distillation is one process used to break hydrocarbons into smaller and more useful parts. This is achieved by using high temperatures and pressures with a catalyst. The most common catalyst used are the zeolites.
Answer:
15.4 g
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2C₅H₁₀ + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 10H₂O
First we <u>convert 5 grams of C₅H₁₀ into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 5 g ÷ 70 g/mol = 0.07 mol C₅H₁₀
Then we <u>convert C₅H₁₀ moles into CO₂ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the reaction:
- 0.07 mol C₅H₁₀ *
= 0.35 mol CO₂
Finally we <u>convert 0.35 moles of CO₂ into grams</u>:
- 0.35 mol CO₂ * 44 g/mol = 15.4 g
Focus your attention to the units of the given data and the unit of the final measurement you're going to solve. Through dimensional analysis,you know that the working equation would be:
Food Value = CcalΔT/m
Food value = (6.15 kJ/°C)(1.29 °C)/0.611 g = 12.98 kJ/g
Convert kJ to cal (1 kJ = 239 cal)
Food value = 12.98*239 =<em> 3,103.28 cal/g</em>
