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!

How many molecules of oxygen are needed to make 3.5 oxygens of water?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

57.6g

Explanation:

So, if in one mole of water, 16 g of oxygen atom is present. Then, in 3.6 moles of water, the mass of oxygen present will be 3.6×16=57.6g. Therefore, the amount of oxygen present in 3.6 g water is option (B)- 57.6 g.

You have a 28.2-g sample of a metal heated to 95.2°c. you drop it in a calorimeter with 100. g of water at 25.1°c. the final tem
Vlad [161]

The heat lost by the metal should be equal to the heat gained by the water. We know that the heat capacity of water is simply 4.186 J / g °C. Therefore:

100 g * 4.186 J / g °C * (31°C – 25.1°C) = 28.2 g * Cp * (95.2°C - 31°C)

<span>Cp = 1.36 J / g °C</span>
