Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.

Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.

Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl
AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 9.50\times 10^{12} kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: 29\times 10^{12}kg

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of CO_2

Thus 0.083\times 10^{15}moles of octane give =\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg

Thus 29\times 10^{12}kg of CO_2 is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.

how many moles of potassium dichromate (k2cr2o7) are required to prepare a 250-ml solution of with a concentration of 2.16 m?
Eva8 [605]

The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.

given that :

molarity = 2.16 M

volume = 250 mL = 0.25 L

the molarity is given as :

molarity = number of moles / volumes in L

from this we can calculate the number of moles, we get :

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = molarity × volume

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 2.16 × 0.25

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 0.54 mol

Thus, The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M  is 0.54 mol.
