A website promoting the use of alternative energy vehicles and hybrid technologies claims that "A typical automobile in the USA

uses about 500 gal of gasoline every year, producing about 5 tons of carbon dioxide." To determine the truth of this statement, calculate how many tons of carbon dioxide are produced when 500.0 gallon of gasoline are combusted. Assume that the primary ingredient in gasoline is octane, C₈H₁₈(l), which has a density of 0.703?

Answer:

The statement is correct since 500 gallon of gasolin produces 4.56 ton of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

The combustion of gasoline follows the reation bellow:

C₈H₁₈ (l) + 17,5O₂ (g) → 8CO₂ (g) + 9H₂O (g)

This means that each mol of octane produces 8 mol of CO₂.

1 gallon ______ 4546.09 mL C₈H₁₈

500 gallon ____    x

x = 2,273,045.00 mL C₈H₁₈

1 mL gasoline ______________ 0.703 g

2,273,045.00 mL C₈H₁₈ ____  y

y = 1,597,950.635 g C₈H₁₈

1 mol C₈H₁₈ _____ 126.239 g

            y          _____  1,597,950.635 g

y = 12,966.274 mol C₈H₁₈

1 mol C₈H₁₈ ___________ 8 mol CO₂

12,966.274 mol C₈H₁₈ ____  w

w = 103,730.192 mol CO₂

1 mol CO₂ ______________ 44 g

103,730.192 mol CO₂______   z

z = 4564128.448 g CO₂

500 gallon of gasolin produces 4.56 ton of carbon dioxide.

In the cathode ray tube experiment, J. J. Thomson passed an electric current through different gases inside a cathode ray tube i
Ber [7]

It showed that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

It showed that all atoms contain electrons.

Explanation:

The experiment carried out by J.J Thomson on the gas discharge tube by passing electric current through a tube filled with many different gases provided a good insight into the structure of an atom.

This experiment led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.

  • Cathode rays and it properties were discovered in this set up.
  • It furnished the scientific community with evidences that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.
  • Since atoms now contain some subatomic particles, they can be broken down in like manner into further bits.
  • The cathode rays which were later termed electrons became a fundamental particles known for every atom.

_____ bonds are formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Give two examples:
34kurt

<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

An  electronegativity of an atom is affected by

  • The atomic number of the atom
  • Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus

1. In case the  electronegativity difference (which is denoted by  ΔEN) is less than 0.5  then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent. </u>

2. In case  the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent </u>

3. In case  the ΔEN is more /greater  than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>

<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>

  • The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
  • Another example is the formation of NaCl from  sodium (Na),which is  a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a  nonmetal

The red line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 656.1 nm. Calculate the energy of one photon
Effectus [21]

The formula we can use here is the Plancks equation:

E = h c / ʎ

where h is Plancks constant = 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, c is speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s and ʎ is wavelength = 656.1 x 10^-9 m

 

Therefore E is:

E = (6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 656.1 x 10^-9 m

<span>E = 3.03 x 10^-19 J</span>
