Answer:

V = 8963 L

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to realize this problem involves stoichiometric calculation based on the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of octane:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

From the density of octane we can obtain the number of moles:

D = m/V ⇒ m= D x V = 0.7025 g/mL x ( 1000 mL) = 702.5 g

MW octane  = 702.5 g/ 114.23 g/mol = 6.15 mol

Required  mol oxygen to react with octane:

6.15 mol octane x  25/2 mol O₂ / mol octane = 76.8 mol O₂

Now mol fraction is given by mol O₂ / total number mol air ⇒

n air = 76.8 mol O₂ / (0.2095 mol O₂ / mol air )  = 366.59 mol air

and from the ideal gas law we can compute the volume of air:

PV = nRT  ⇒ V = nRT/P

V = 366.59 mol air x 0.08205 Latm/Kmol x (25+ 273) K/ 1 atm

   = 8,963 Lts

Note we treat here  air as a compund which is allowed in combustion problems.

dolphi86 [110]
I believe it is useful as it shows how electrons are distributed in the shells (energy levels) of an iron atom. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. It contains the nucleus and the shells (energy levels). the nucleus contains protons and neutrons while the shells contain electrons.

Using the mass of a proton 1.0073 amu and assuming it's diameter is1.0x10^-15, calculate the density of a proton in g/cm^3. I'm
valkas [14]
You just have to find a conversion from amu to grams. For every 1 amu, there is 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams. Thus,

Mass of proton = 1.0073 amu * 1.66×10⁻²⁴ grams/amu = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams

Since a proton is spherical in shape, the volume would be:

Volume = 1/6*πd³ = 1/6*π(1.0×10⁻¹⁵ cm)³ = 5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³

Therefore, the density is equal to

Density = Mass/Volume = 1.672×10⁻²⁴ grams/5.236×10⁻⁴⁶ cm³
Density = 3.2×10²¹ g/cm³
