Answer:

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 702 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Mass CO2 =1.84 kg = 1840 grams

Molar mass of CO2

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 702.0 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 6.145 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of CO2

For 2 moles octane we need 25 moles O2 to produce 16 moles CO2 and 18 moles H2O

For 6.145 moles octane we'll have 8*6.145 moles =49.16 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 49.16 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 2163.5 grams

Step 6: Calculate % yield of carbon dioxide

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*100%

% yield = (1840/2163.5)*100%

% yield = 85.05 %

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

___________ minerals are dark-colored because they contain _____________. a. Mafic; iron and/or magnesium b. Felsic; iron and/or
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

A. Mafic; iron and/or magnesium

Explanation:

Let's find the answer by naming some minerals and their chemistry.

Mafic minerals are dark-colored whereas felsic minerals are light-colored, thats way mafic rocks are dark-colored because they are mainly composed by mafic minerals and the other way around for felsic rocks.

But remember that mafic minerals as amphiboles, pyroxenes or biotites, involve in their chemical structure iron and/or magnesium. Although calcium and sodium can be incorporated in amphiboles and clinopyroxenes, they are not involved in orthopyroxenes and biotites. On the other hand, although potassium is involved in biotite and in some extent in amphiboles, this element is not involved in pyroxenes.

So in conclusion, mafic minerals are usually dark-colored because they involve iron and/or magnesium in their chemical structures.
