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.

A military jet cruising at an altitude of 12.0kmand speed of 1900./kmh burns fuel at the rate of 74.4/Lmin. How would you calcul
anygoal [31]

Answer: amount = 2466.95L

Explanation:

given that the speed is = 1900./kmh i.e. 1hr/900km

distance = 1050km

the fuel burns at a rate of 74.4 L/min

therefore the amount of fuel that the jet consumes on a 1050.km becomes;

total fuel used = time × fuel burning rate

where time = distance / speed

∴ total fuel used (consumed) = time × fuel burning rate

total fuel consumed = (1050km × 1hr/1900km) × (60min/ 1hr × 74.4L/1min)

total fuel consumed = 2466.95L

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of chromium in a 1.0 M chromium(III) ion solution and another electr
svetlana [45]

Answer: The potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

Explanation:

E^0_(Cr^{3+}/Cr)=-0.74V[/tex]

E^0_(Cu^{2+}/Cu)=0.34V[/tex]

The element  with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Here Cr undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

2Cr+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}+3Cu

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials, when concentration is 1M.

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Cr^{3+}/Cr]}

E^0=0.34-(-0.74)=1.08V

Thus the potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.
