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

The number of C atoms in 0.524 moles of C is 3.15 atoms.

The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles  SO_2 is 59.43 molecules.

The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe is 0.23 x 10^{-1}

The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O is 3.81.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

A. The number of C atoms in 0.524 mole of C:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 0.524 mole

3.155601758 atoms =3.155 atoms

B. The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles of SO_2:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 9.87

59.4385293 molecules= 59.43 molecules

C. The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe:

1.40 x 10^{22} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

0.2324754694 x 10^{-1} moles.

0.23 x 10^{-1} moles.

D. The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O:

2.30x10^{24} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

3.819239854 moles=3.81 moles

Liquid water can be separated into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas through electrolysis. 1 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.5 moles of oxy
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The temperatures of the gases will not be equal as oxygen gas will have a higher temperature than hydrogen gas because it has fewer moles overall.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>

The mechanical behavior of ideal gases is described by the ideal gas law. It has the ability to compute the volume of gases created or absorbed.

This equation is frequently used in chemical equations to convert between volumes and molar quantities.

According to the ideal gas law, there is a relationship between gas pressure, temperature, and volume.

PV = nRT

V is the same for both

So,

T is same for both.

When n increases, T decreases, so since n for hydrogen gas is 1 and n for oxygen gas is 0.5, it follows that oxygen gas will have a higher temperature than hydrogen gas because it has fewer moles overall.

mafiozo [28]
The balance chemical equation is follow,

                    2 I⁻  + SO₄²⁻  +  4 H⁺    →    I₂  +  SO₂  +  2 H₂O

According to this reaction, 2 moles of I⁻ reacts with 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ to produce 1 mole of I₂ and 1 mole of SO₂.

Result:
          So with the formation of 1 mole of I₂, 1 mole of SO₂ is produced.
