The production of NOx gases is an unwanted side reaction of the main engine combustion process that turns octane, C8H18, into CO

2 and water. If 85% of the oxygen in an engine is used to combust octane, and the remainder used to produce nitrogen dioxide, calculate how many grams of nitrogen dioxide would be produced during the combustion of 800 grams of octane.

Answer:

710,33 g NO2

Explanation:

2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O  

(800 g octane) / (114.2293 g C8H18/mol x (25/2)) = 87.54 mol O2 used to combust the octane

87.54 mol O2 x \frac{15}{85} = 15.44 mol O2 used to form NO2

O2 + 2NO → 2NO2

(15.44 mol O2) x (2/2) x (46.0056 g NO2/mol) = 710,33 g NO2

Answer:

m_{NO_2}=1424.16gNO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, the combustion of octane is illustrated as shown below:

C_8H_{18}(g)+\frac{25}{2}O_2(g)-->8CO_2(g)+9H_2O(g)

Now, since 800 grams of octane are burned, we compute the moles of oxygen that reacted via stoichiometry:

n_{O_2}=800gC_8H_{18}*\frac{1molC_8H_{18}}{114gC_8H_{18}}*\frac{\frac{25}{2}molO_2}{1molC_8H_{18}} \\n_{O_2}=87.72molO_2

As that is the combusting oxygen, we now look for the total oxygen that was employed by:

n_{O_2}^{tot}=\frac{87.72molO_2}{0.85} =103.2molO_2

Therefore the 15% used in the NO₂ turns out:

n_{O_2}^{forNO_2}=103.2molO_2*0.15=15.48molO_2

Finally, for the NO₂ production:

O_2+2NO-->2NO_2

The produced grams of NO₂ are:

m_{NO_2}=15.48molO_2*\frac{2molNO_2}{1molO_2}*\frac{46gNO_2}{1molNO_2}\\\\ m_{NO_2}=1424.16gNO_2

Best regards.

Hello!

The answer is C. Hibernate during the cold winter months.

Why?

Alpine marmots are known for having a long hibernation duration which starts in October (winther) and ends in April (summer) (about 7 months). During this long period, they are able to reduce their bear beats from 200 per minute to just 30 or 38 beats, and their breaths from 60 breaths/minute to 1-3 breaths/minute, guaranteeing an extreme energy saving process.

Have a nice day!

Write, Balance and Label the type of reaction: Potassium Hydroxide plus phosphoric acid yields potassium phosphate and water.
natali 33 [55]

In order to balance this, you have to count each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:

 

KOH + H3PO4 = KH2PO4 +H2O
