Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 2

Explanation:

Data

Octane = C₈H₁₈

Oxygen = O₂

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

Reaction

                         C₈H₁₈  +   O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         1

                         18                     H                        2

                          2                     O                        3

This reaction is unbalanced

                          C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   9H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         8

                         18                     H                        18

                         25                     O                       25

Multiply the reaction by 2

                    2C₈H₁₈  +   25O₂   ⇒   16CO₂   +   18H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                         16                     C                        16

                         36                     H                       36

                         50                     O                       50

Now, the reaction is balanced

Answer:

The volume of the gas at given temperature is 1300 cm^3

Explanation:

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 0^oC=273.15 K

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 310 cm^3 = 310 mL = 0.310 L

(1 cm^3= 1mL , 1 mL = 0.001 L)

P_1V_1=nRT_1..[1]

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 2.1 atm

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 2,200^oC=273+2200 K=2473.15 K

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

P_2V_2=nRT_2..[2]

By dividing [1] and [2] we get combined gas equation :,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1\times T_2}{T_1\times P_2}

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

V_2=\frac{1 atm\times 0.310 L\times 2473.15 K}{273.15 K\times 2.1 atm}

V_2=1.3 L=1300 mL= 1300 cm^3

The volume of the gas at given temperature is 1300 cm^3

If i initially have 4.0 l of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure of 3.4 atm?
ddd [48]
  The  volume  of  a  gas  that   its  pressure  increase  to  3.4  atm   is    calculated  as   follows

  By  use  of  boyles   law   that  is  P1V1=P2V2
V1=4.0  L
P1=1.1  atm
P2=3.4  atm
V2= P1V1/P2  

(1.1  atm  x  4.0 L)/3.4  atm=  1.29  L
