The flame produced by the burner of a gas (propane) grill is a pale blue color when enough air mixes with the propane (C3H8) to

burn it completely. For every gram of propane that flows through the burner, what volume of air is needed to burn it completely? Assume that the temperature of the burner is 195.0 Celcius, the pressure is 1.1 atmosphere, and the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.

Answer:

At the burner temp. and pressure, 18.85 litres of air is needed to completely combust each gram of propane

Explanation:

The combustion stoichiometry is as follows:

      C₃H₈ + 5O₂  = 4 H₂O + 3CO₂      The molecular weights (g/mol) are:

MW  44    5x32      4x18    3x44

So each gram of propane is 1/44 = 0.02272 mol propane

and will need 5 x 0.02272 = 0.1136 mol oxygen

At 0.21 mol fraction oxygen in air, 0.1136 / 0.21 = 0.54 mol air is needed to burn the propane.

At the low pressure in the burner we can use the Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRT, or V = nRT/P

P = 1.1 x 101325 Pa = 111457 Pa

T = 195°C + 273 = 468 K

R = 8.314

and we calculated n = number of moles air = 0.54 mol

So V m³ = 0.54 x 8.314 x 468 / 111457 = 0.0188 m³ = 18.85 litres air.

What is the relationship between the Kuiper Belt and the status of Pluto today?
Xelga [282]

Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun

(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).

Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).

Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.

Vikentia [17]
Let's go over the given information. We have the volume, temperature and pressure. From the ideal gas equation, that's 4 out of 5 knowns. So, we actually don't need Pvap of water anymore. Assuming ideal gas, the solution is as follows:

PV=nRT
Solving for n,
n = PV/RT = (753 torr)(1 atm/760 torr)(195 mL)(1 L/1000 mL)/(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(25+273 K)
n = 7.897×10⁻³ mol H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2 g/mol.

Mass of H₂ = 7.897×10⁻³ mol * 2 g/mol = <em>0.016 g H₂</em>
