Answer:

57472.01 L

Explanation:

Given that:-

Moles of octane = 297 moles

According to the given reaction:-

2C_8H_{18}_{(l)}+25O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 16CO_2_{(g)}+18H_2O_{(l)}

2 moles of octane on reaction produces 16 moles of carbon dioxide

1 mole of octane on reaction produces 16/2 moles of carbon dioxide

297 moles of octane on reaction produces 8*297 moles of carbon dioxide

Moles of carbon dioxide = 2376 moles

Given:  

Pressure = 0.995 atm

Temperature = 20.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (20.0 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K  

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.995 atm × V = 2376 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 293.15 K  

<u>⇒V = 57472.01 L</u>

297 mol Octane * 16 mol CO2 for each 2 mol Octane is equal to 2380 mol octane (since we only have three significant figures, we cannot express it with exact accuracy).  Now, we apply the ideal gas law:

V=nRT/P, or volume equals number of moles times the gas constant times temperature divided by pressure.  This means that V=2380*.082*(20+273)/.995=57500 liters.  That's a lot of carbon dioxide!

What is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.

Why do prices increase when demand for a product is high? Companies know they can make more money by selling fewer products at h
viva [34]

Answer:

Companies know that people will be willing to spend more to get an in-demand product.

Explanation:

When a product is really in demand, many customers are willing to part with more money order to purchase the product, as a result of that, many companies may take advantage of the increasing demand for the product to hike it's price.

Hence, the increase in price may not really have a negative impact on the quantity demanded because the demand for the product is high and customers are willing to spend more money in order to purchase an in-demand product, hence the answer above.
