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.

Hi can u help me pls? I'm totally stuck . The natural source of acidity in rain water is _____.
kykrilka [37]

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.

Arrange the following elements in order from least to greatest electronegativity:<br> Ca, F, Ne, Fe?
Burka [1]

Answer:

The electronegativity from order of least to highest is:

Ne, Ca, Fe, F

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table have been arranged based on their level of electronegativity (which is the ability of an atom to attract electrons).

According to Paulings scale of rating elements based on their electronegativity, the electronegativity value of Fe, Ca, Ne, and F are 1.83, 1, 0 and 3.98 respectively.

Hence, based on Pauling scale, the order of electronegativity from least to highest is:

Ne > Ca > Fe > F
