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

Calculate the density of CO2 in g/cm3 at room temperature(25 degrees Celsuis) and pressure(1 atm) assuming it acts as an ideal g
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

density=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the ideal equation of state:

PV=nRT

The moles are defined in terms of mass as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Whereas M the gas' molar mass, thus:

PV=\frac{mRT}{M}

Now, since the density is defined as the quotient between the mass and the volume, we get:

P=\frac{m}{V} \frac{RT}{M}

Solving for m/V:

density= m/V=\frac{PM}{RT}

Thus, the result is given by:

density=\frac{(1atm)(44g/mol)}{[0.082atm*L/(mol*K)]*298.15K} \\density=1.8g/L=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL

Best regards.
