A civil engineering student is considering buying an electric car. However, the conscious student wants to make sure her carbon

svetlana [45]

Answer:

$\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month

$\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}$

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle

(a) Moles of heptane used

$n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}$

(b) Equation for combustion

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed

$n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}$

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.

$V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}$

3. Using an electric vehicle

(a) Theoretical energy used

$\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}$

(b) Actual energy used

The power station is only 85 % efficient.

$\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\$

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

$V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}$

4. Comparison

$\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

As the tempreture of a liquid increases the solubility of a liquid of that liquid

anzhelika [568]

As the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute in the liquid also increases. This is due to the fact that the increase in energy allows the liquid to more effectively break up the solute. The additoin of energy also shifts the equilibrium of the reation to the right since it takes energy to dissolve most things and you are adding more of it (this is explained with Le Chatlier principles).

I hope this helps and also I assumed that your question involved the solubility of an ionic substance in a solvent like water. If that was not your question feel free to say so in the comments so that I can answer your actually question.

What exactly is a proton? Is it a member of the periodic table?

Pavel [41]

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element (i.e., an element with 6 protons is a carbon atom, no matter how many neutrons may be present).
