Engine size is measured by how much air the cylinders displace. A 1996 Pontiac V8 has an engine size of 316.6 cubic inches. What

inna [77]

The size of this engine in cubic meters is $0.0052 m^{3}$ .

Explanation:

As it is stated that engine size can be measured depending upon the amount of air the cylinders displace, it is also stated that the engine of model Pontiac V8 has a size of 316.6 cubic inches. The problem is to convert the size of engine in cubic meters. We know that 1 inch = 0.0254 m.

Then $1 inch^{3}=(0.0254)^{3} m^{3}$

As here the size of engine is 316.6 cubic inches, then in metres it will be

$316.6 \text { inches }^{3}=316.6 \times(0.0254)^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}=0.0052 \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Thus, the size of the engine in cubic meters will be $0.0052 m^{3}$ .

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10

LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

(4) The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Explanation :

Part 1 :

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = $\frac{1000}{52}=19.23g$

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = $\frac{1000}{49}=20.41g$

Part 2 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

Molar mass of $C_2H_6$ = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_4H_{10}$ = 58 g/mole

$\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles$

and,

$\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles$

Part 3 :

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_2H_6$ is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_4H_{10}$ is:

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

Part 4 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce 2 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.641 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce $0.641\times 2=1.28$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce 4 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.352 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce $0.352\times 4=1.41$ moles of $CO_2$

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.

Scientists use what properties to help them identify and classify matter

Volgvan

Scientists use the physical and chemical properties to help them identify and classify matter. These physical and chemical properties are in a macro-perspective, in which these matter contains compounds, elements and atoms. Hence, matter can be classified in various ways, 
1. Atomic number either atomic mass each element has
2. By substance of that matter either pure substance or mixed substance 
3. If they cannot reduce a certain substance into a much smaller quantified atomic structure then they they’ll use (2) to identify and classify it.
