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.

A. False. If it is high tide in one place on Earth, the place exactly opposite to it will also have a <em>high</em> tide.

The gravitational attraction of the Moon and the inertia of the oceans cause <em>two tidal bulges </em>on opposite sides of the Earth.

B. True. Cassini used flybys of Venus, Earth and Jupiter as slingshots to reach Saturn.

C. True. The whole solar system moves around the galaxy.

D. True. If a planet’s gravity is not strong enough, the molecules in its atmosphere will have enough kinetic energy to escape into space.

E. False. The <em>mass of an object is constant</em>, but its <em>weight changes</em> according to the gravity of the planet.

F. False. To find the mass of an object, <em>divide</em> its weight by gravity.

F = mg  or weight = mass × gravity

∴ <em>Mass = weight/gravity </em>

List four greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For each gas, describe its prevalence in the atmosphere, its natural sources, its
lakkis [162]

Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").
