Assuming a car (with a 70-L) gas tank can hold approximately 50,000 (5.00 * 10^4) g of octane(C8H18) or 50,000 (5.00 * 10^4) g o

f ethanol (C2H6O). How much carbon dioxide (CO2), in grams, is produced in one tank of gas from the combustion of each amount?

Answer:

- From octane: m_{CO_2}=1.54x10^5gCO_2

- From ethanol: m_{CO_2}=9.57x10^4gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, for the combustion of octane, the following chemical reaction is carried out:

C_8H_{18}+\frac{25}{2} O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+9H_2O

Thus, the produced mass of carbon dioxide is:

m_{CO_2}=5.00x10^4gC_8H_{18}*\frac{1molC_8H_{18}}{114gC_8H_{18}}*\frac{8molCO_2}{1molC_8H_{18}}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} \\\\m_{CO_2}=1.54x10^5gCO_2

Now, for ethanol:

C_2H_6O+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

m_{CO_2}=5.00x10^4gC_2H_6O*\frac{1molC_2H_6O}{46gC_2H_6O}*\frac{2molCO_2}{1molC_2H_6O}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} \\\\m_{CO_2}=9.57x10^4gCO_2

Best regards.

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

  • At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
  • At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
  • The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

A chemist measures the amount of hydrogen gas produced during an experiment. She finds that 264. g of hydrogen gas is produced.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The answer is 130.953 g of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

Hydrogen gas is formed by two atoms of hydrogen (H), so its molecular formula is H₂. We can calculate is molecular weight as the product of the molar mass of H (1.008 g/mol):

Molecular weight H₂= molar mass of H x 2= 1.008 g/mol x 2= 2.01568 g

Finally, we obtain the number of mol of H₂ there is in the produced gas mass (264 g) by using the molecular weight as follows:

mass= 264 g x 1 mol H₂/2.01568 g= 130.9731703 g

The final mass rounded to 3 significant digits is 130.973 g
