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.

Answer: During winter the Northern Hemisphere leans away from the sun, there are fewer daylight hours and the sun hits us at an angle. This makes it appear lower in the sky. In equatorial regions the length of days and the directness of sunlight don't change as much.

Hope this helps :)

Goshia [24]

Answer:

im not completely sure but the mst likely answer would be the would be they have the same density

Explanation:

if two mixture have the same ingriedients their most likely going to have the same density depending of the measurements like when baking a cake when you add your wet ingriedients to your dry one it makes a batter and if you were to make another mixture with the same ingriedients and somewhat similar measurements your going to get a similar density
