Cars run on gasoline, where octane (C8H18) is the principle component. This combustion reaction is responsible for generating en

ough energy to move a vehicle, or do other work.
How much CO2 and H2O (in grams) are produced in the combustion of 1.24 gallons of Octane? (density = 0.703 g/mL)

Helpful conversion, there are 4 quarts in a gallon. Beyond that, check out your equation sheet for other useful conversion factors!

Answer:

  • 10.19 g CO₂
  • 4.69 g H₂O

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of Octane is:

  • C₈H₁₈ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

To calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O produced, we need to know the mass of octane combusted.

We calculate the mass of Octane from the given volume and density, using the following <em>conversion factors</em>:

  • 1 gallon = 3.785 L
  • 1 L = 1000 mL

Now we<u> convert 1.24 gallons to mL</u>:

  • 1.24 gallon * \frac{3.785L}{1gallon} *\frac{1000mL}{1L} = 4693.4 mL

We <u>calculate the mass of Octane</u>:

  • 4693.4 mL * 0.703 g/mL = 3.30 g Octane

Now we use the <em>stoichiometric ratios</em> and <em>molecular weights</em> to <u>calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O</u>:

  • CO₂ ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * \frac{8molCO_{2}}{1molOctane} * 44 g/mol =  10.19 g CO₂
  • H₂O ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * \frac{9molH_{2}O}{1molOctane} * 18 g/mol = 4.69 g H₂O

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to
zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>D. It will decrease by a factor of 4</u>

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

A+B\rightarrow C+D

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}.................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, <u><em>doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,</em></u>

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}

2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

2= 2^{a}

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1  = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}

<u>r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}.............(3)</u>

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if  cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}

r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}

r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}............(a)

But

r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

<u>r' = 1/4 r</u>
