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.

Light from three different lasers (A, B, and C), each with a different wavelength, was shined on the same metal surface. Laser A
kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

It is known that each metal has a different work function and it is just the energy required to remove the electron from the surface.

The relation between energy and work function is as follows.

             \Delta E = Q + K.E

where,   \Delta E = energy of photon

               Q = work function

             K.E = kinetic energy of electron

When the value of Q is large then the amount of energy required by the photon is also large and vice-versa.

And, when there is not sufficient energy to remove an electron from metal surface or energy is less than its work function then electron will not be removed.

On the other hand, when incoming photon will have enough energy then electron will be ejected.

In the given situation, light from laser A is not able to remove the electron from metal surface which means that energy of photon is less than work function Q.

As, both B and C are able to remove electron from the surface of metal. So, after the removal of electrons rest of the energy of photons is transferred to eject electrons and this energy is converted into kinetic energy.

As energy of B is greater than the energy of C and A has the lowest energy among all.

Therefore, order of energy from lowest to highest is as follows.

                              A < C < B

Now, the relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

                   E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,    \lambda = wavelength

So, energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Therefore, increase in energy means decrease in wavelength.

Therefore, increasing order of wavelength is as follows.

                            B < C < A

What are the similarities between a chemical change and a physical change?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles.

Explanation:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles. Physical changes occur through vibrations, impacts, and other forms of movement. Chemical changes are caused by the interaction of two or more atoms or molecules.
