Answer:

14.5g of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of octane with oxygen is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of octane (Molar mass: 114.23g/mol) reacts with 25/2 moles of O₂ (Molar mass 32g/mol) to produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 9 moles of water.</em>

When 21.0 g of octane is burned with 19.0 g of oxygen gas you need to find <em>limiting reactant </em>to find how many moles of products are formed:

Octane: 21.0g ₓ (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.184 moles octane

Oxygen: 19.0g ₓ (1 mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen

For a complete reaction of 0.184 moles of octane you will need:

0.184 moles C₈H₁₈ ₓ (25/2 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₈H₁₈) = <em>2.3 moles of oxygen</em>

As you have just 0.594 moles of oxygen, <em>Oxygen is limiting reactant.</em>

Based on chemical equation, 25/2 of O₂ produce 8 moles of CO₂, that means theoretical yield of CO₂ with 0.594 moles of O₂ is:

0.594 moles O₂ ₓ (8 moles CO₂ / 25/2 moles O₂) = 0.380 moles of CO₂

But, as yield of products is 87%, moles produced of CO₂ are:

0.380 moles of CO₂ ₓ 87% = 0.331 moles CO₂ are produced.

As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ in 0.331 moles is:

0.331 moles CO₂ ₓ (44g / mol) =

Marianna [84]

The solution changed color because the substances are not neutral.

<h3>pH</h3>

Chemical substances have different concentrations of the hydrogen cation, called PH.

The higher the pH, the more basic the substance, and the lower the more acidic.

Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that changes its color according to the pH of the substance, yellow for acid, blue for basic and green for neutral.

In the case of the reactions in question, we have the release of CO2 (acid) in combustion and in cellular respiration, changing the color of bromothymol blue to yellow.

A 4.24 kg marble slab has the volume of 1564 cm3 What is the density in g/cm3
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2.71 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

volume of marble = 1564 cm³

1 kg = 1000 g

4.24 kg = 4240 g

mass = 4240 g

The density is

density =  \frac{4240}{1564}   \\  = 2.710997442...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.71 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (NaCH3COO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

=3,723.3 J=3.72  but if it has the option of -3.72 kJ then use that

Explanation:

Use the formula q=m×Cp×delta T

m=1.500 kg=1,500 g

Co=2.52 J/g·k

delta T=0.985k

q=(1,500g)(2.52 J/g·k)(0.985k)

Why do warm currents begin near the equator?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

I would go with A

Explanation:

Because the earths equator is warmed by most direct rays of the sun, air a the equator is hotter than air further north or the south. The hotter air rises up at the equator and as colder air moves in to take its place, the wind begins to blow and push the ocean into waves and currents
