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.

Why is there a pop sound when a burning splint is extinguished in a test tube filled with hydrogen gas?
AveGali [126]
Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but  in a reduced form - a <span>POP </span><span>sound. The very small explosion (doesn't feel like one, does it?) extinguishes the flame.</span>

How do three states of matter arise?
Evgen [1.6K]
The status of the state of matter of a material defines the phase. Pellet currently case 16 is defined; three of which solid, liquid and gas are referred to as conventional cases. There are a total of 16 state currently defined, these classic except; liquid crystal, amorphous solid, magnetic regularly, superconducting, superfluid, the Bose-Einstein condensation, Rydberg molecules, plasma (ionized gas), the quark-gluon plasma, degenerate matter, Superkate, the stringy liquid and SuperCam mine. Daily life in general, solid materials, include liquid or gaseous, but outside world, 99% of the material in the universe plasma (ionized gas) is in the form.

Potassium iodide reacts with lead(II) nitrate in this precipitation reaction: 2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → 2 KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s) Wha
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a. 174 mL

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 KI(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → 2 KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)

We have 155.0 mL of a 0.112 M lead(II) nitrate solution. The moles of Pb(NO₃)₂ are:

0.1550 L × 0.112 mol/L = 0.0174 mol

The molar ratio of KI to Pb(NO₃)₂ is 2:1. The moles of KI are:

2 × 0.0174 mol = 0.0348 mol

The volume of a 0.200 M KI solution that contains 0.0348 moles is:

0.0348 mol × (1 L / 0.200 mol) = 0.174 L = 174 mL

Each A atom is adjacent to 3 B atoms. What is the A-C-B bond angle?
Nutka1998 [239]
Using the simulation to build a system with 5 bonds. The resulting structure is called the Trigonal bipyramidal structure. The two different sites in a trigonal bipyramid are labeled as A and B in the drawing to the right. 
In this case, therefore, the bond angle A-C-B is 90 Degrees (right angle)
