Write chemical equation describing the complete combustion of liquid octane c8h18

Why is identifying unknown compounds important to chemistry?

Galina-37 [17]

Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.

The moon is 250,000 miles away. How many inches is it from earth?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

1.584e10 = 15,840,000,000,000

Explanation:

250,000 miles

multiply the length value by 63360

25e4 x 63360

= 1.584e10

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to:______.

taurus [48]

Answer:

The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to zero.

The correct option is 'c'.

Explanation:

Lets look around all the given options -:

(a) the entropy change for a theoretical reversible process with the same initial and final states , since the entropy change is equal and opposite in reversible process , thus this option in not correct.

(b) equal to the entropy change for the same process performed reversibly ONLY if the process can be reversed at all. Since , the change is same as well as opposite too . Therefore , this statement is also not true .

(c) zero. This option is true because We generate more entropy in an irreversible process. Because no heat moves into or out of the surroundings during the procedure, the entropy change of the surroundings is zero.

(d) impossible to tell. This option is invalid , thus incorrect .

Hence , the correct option is 'c' that is zero.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Bad White [126]

Answer: The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g$

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams
