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.

For a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k, calculate the inner diameter if you are designing for
bonufazy [111]

The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m

<h3>What is Stack Height ?</h3>

Stack height means the distance from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack to the crown of the stack.

If a stack arises from a building or other structure, the ground-level elevation of that building or structure will be used as the base elevation of the stack.

Given is a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 cu.m/min of gases

P= 1 atm and

T= 400 K

maximum expected wind speed at stack height of 12 m/s

The formula for the diameter of chimney

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4Q}{\pi v} }

Q =1200 cu.m/min

= 1200 * 0.0166 = 19.92 cu.m/sec

Velocity = 12m/s

\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 19.92}{3.14*12} }\\

d= 1.45 m

Therefore The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m.

What is the value of the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The value of the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is greater than that of a catalyzed reaction. As we know, a catalyst provides an alternative path for the reaction to happen at a faster rate. So, for a catalyzed reactio, activation energy is lesser than the original path.
