What type of reaction provide energy within a red giant star? and how come?

1 answer:

3 0

"A red giant is a star that has exhausted the primary supply of hydrogen fuel at its core. An average-sized star like our Sun will spend the final 10 percent of its life as a red giant. In this phase, a star's surface temperature drops to between 3,140 and 6,741°F (1,727 and 3,727°C) and its diameter expands to 10 to 1,000 times that of the Sun. The star takes on a reddish color, which is what gives it its name."

Anna007 [38]

Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving

(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g

A sample of octane undergoes combustion according to the equation 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O ΔH°rxn = -11018 kJ. What mas

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{528.7 g} }$

Explanation:

It often helps to write the heat as if it were a reactant or a product in the thermochemical equation.

Then you can consider it to be 11018 "moles" of "kJ"

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 32.00

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 8H₂O + 11 018 kJ

n/mol: 7280

1. Moles of O₂

The molar ratio is 25 mol O₂:11 018 kJ

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{7280 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{25 mol O}_{2}}{\text{11 018 kJ}} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2}$

2. Mass of O₂

$\text{Mass of C$_{8}$H}_{18} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \textbf{528.6 g O}_{2}\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{528.67 g O}_{2}}$}$

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Natural gas combustion equation:

CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT

Octane or oil combustion equation:

2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.

If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.

They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.

What are the products in a chemical reaction?

zlopas [31]

Products are the species formed from chemical reactions. During a chemical reaction reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. This process results in the consumption of the reactants.
