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.

If you start with 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine to produce sodium chloride, what is the limiting reagent?(you will n
Harman [31]

Sodium(Na) is the limiting reagent.

<h3>What is Limiting reagent?</h3>

The reactant that is totally consumed during a reaction, or the limiting reagent, decides when the process comes to an end. The precise quantity of reactant required to react with another element may be estimated from the reaction stoichiometry.

How do you identify a limiting reagent?

The limiting reactant is the one that is consumed first and sets a limit on the quantity of product(s) that can be produced. Calculate how many moles of each reactant are present and contrast this ratio with the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation to get the limiting reactant.

Start by writing the balanced chemical equation that describes this reaction

2Na_{(s)} + Cl_{2 (g)} -- > 2NaCl_{(s)}

Notice that the reaction consumes 2 moles of sodium metal for every 1 mole of chlorine gas that takes part in the reaction and produces 2 moles of sodium chloride.

now we can see that we have 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine, according to question. so, we can say that sodium is the limiting reagent in the given situation.

What existed during the mesozoic era
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Mezoic era began 252m years ago and ended 6.6m years ago.
It was a time of geological and biological transition. During this era the continents began to drift to their present configuration.
3 of the largest mass extinction occurred at this era. One which include the dinosaurs.
I hope this helped. :)

Given the following partial (valence-level) electron configurations,<br> (a) identify each element,
Kamila [148]

The arrangement of electrons within an atom is called the electronic configuration and the electrons are filled up according to the energy of the levels as: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

<h3>What is the difference between electron configuration and valence electron configuration?</h3>

Electron configuration is the number of electrons that are present in the atom and is repressed through the different sub-shells. So for example, the electron configuration for oxygen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4. While the valence electrons only refer to the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

<h3>What is a partial orbital diagram?</h3>

A partial orbital diagram shows only the highest energy sublevels being filled. Al (Z = 13) 1s22s22p63s23p1. A condensed electron configuration has the element symbol of the previous noble gas in square brackets. Al has the condensed configuration [Ne]3s23p1.
