Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18), a primary component of gasoline.

Chemistry

Answer:

a. 2562 L

b. 4082 L

c. 413,6 kJ

d. 0,115 kWh

e. 1,3 cents

f. 0,34 %

Explanation:

a. To calculate the volume we should obtain the moles of Octane to know the reactant moles and produced moles. Then, with ideal gas law obtain the change in volume:

3,784 L ≡ 3784 mL octane × (0,703 g / 1 mL) = <em>2660 g Octane</em>

<em>                                                    density</em>

2660 g octane × ( 1 mol / 114,23 g octane) = <em>23,29 mol octane</em>

                              <em>molar mass of C₈H₁₈</em>

With the combustion reaction of octane we can know how many moles are produced from 23,29 mol of octane, thus, in (1) :

2 C₈H₁₈ (l) + 25 O₂(g) ---> 18 H₂O(g) + 16 CO₂ (g) <em>(1)</em>

23,29 mol octane × ( 25 mol O₂ / 2 mol octane) = <em>291,1 mol O₂ -reactant moles-</em>

23,29 mol octane × ( 18 + 16 produced mol  / 2 mol octane) = 395,9 moles produced

Ideal gas formula says:

V = nRT/ P

Where:

n = Δmoles number (produced-reactant) → 104,8 moles

R = Ideal gas constant → 0,082 atm·L/mol·K

T = Temperature → 25°C, 298,15 K

P = Pressure → 1 atm

Thus, replacing in the equation:

ΔV = 2562 L

b. To calculate the gas volume we should use the same values of ideal gas formula just changing the temperature value for 475 K -Because the produced moles of gas and presure are the same and R is constant.

Thus, the volume of produced gases is:

ΔV = 4082 L

c. The work, w, is equal to -pressure times Δ Volume:

w = - P×ΔV

The pressure is 1 atm and ΔV in the system is 4082 L

So, w = 4082 atm·L (101,325 J / 1 atm·L) = 413,6 kJ

d. As kJ is equal to kWs, 413,6 kJ ≡ 413,6 kWs × ( 1 hour / 3600 s) =

0,115 kWh

e. In Seattle 1kWh cost 11,35 cents. So, 0,115 kWh cost:

0,115 kWh × (11,35 cents/ 1kWh) = 1,3 cents

f. The energy calculated in part C, <em>413,6 kJ</em> is due to the work done by the system in gas expansion but total of heat produced in (1) are 1,2 ×10⁵ kJ. Thus, the proportion of work in gas expansion in total energy in combustion of octane is:

413,6 kJ / 1,2×10 ⁵ kJ × 100 = 0,34 %

I hope it helps!

Predict the sign of the entropy change,Delta S, for each of the following reactions:The signs are either going to be pos or nega
algol [13]

Answer: a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s):  negative

b)  CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g) : positive

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g): positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s) : negative

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g):  positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g) : positive.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)

As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

b) CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

c) 2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

d) P_4(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)

As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of \Delta S is negative.

e) C_4H_8(g)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.

f) I_2(s)\rightarrow I_2(g)

As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of \Delta S is positive.
