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.

4. describe three ways carbon dioxide was removed from the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer: Forests: Photosynthisis helps clear carbon dioxide naturally, Soils naturally store carbon, but agricultural soils are running a big deficit due to intensive use. Because agricultural land is so expansive, Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is another way to use photosynthesis to combat climate change. However, it is far more complicated than planting trees or managing soils — and it doesn’t always work for the climate.

5. Explain why there is now 21% Oxygen in the Earth's atomosphere compaired to little or no Oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere 4.5 billion years ago.

Answer: cientists believe that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence.The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen. There were smaller proportions of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.

Sorry its soooo long TwT

Methane reacts with oxygen in the following combustion reaction.
Natali5045456 [20]

The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.

In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds

there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.

Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.

How many grams of kclo3 can be dissolved in 100 grams of water at 30 degrees Celsius
kondaur [170]
<span>The solubility of KClO</span>₃ : ( 10.1 / 100 g water ) at 30ºC

10.1 g ------------ 100 g ( H₂O )
    ? g ------------- 100 g ( H₂O )

Mass of KClO₃ :

100 * 10.1 / 100

1010 / 100 = 10.1 g of KClO₃
