Answer:

20.10 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning one gallon of gasoline.

Explanation:

Volume of the gasoline = V = 1 gal = 3785.41 mL

Density of the gasoline = d =  0.78 g/ml

Mass of gasoline = m = ?

m=d\times V=0.78 g/mL\times 3785.41 mL=2952.62 g

Moles of gasoline = \frac{2952.62 g}{114 g/mol}=25.90 mol

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

Then 25.90 moles of octane will give:

\frac{16}{2}\times 25.90 mol=207.20 mol

Mass of 207.20 moles of carbon dioxide gas:

= 207.20 mol × 44 g/mol = 9,116.86 g

1 pound = 453.592 grams

9,116.86 g=\frac{9,116.86}{453.592} pounds=20.10 pounds

20.10 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning one gallon of gasoline.

How could the survivors about starting a fire?
joja [24]

Answer:

The ancient Greeks believed that fire was one the four basic elements that composed all things in the universe. In the mythology of virtually every culture, fire is a sacred substance that gives life or power. Fire is not, in fact, a substance. When you gaze at the leaping flames of a campfire, you’re observing not an object, but a process – a chemical reaction. It’s the same chemical reaction that occurs when a cut apple left on the counter turns brown, when silver tarnishes or when an iron nail rusts.

That process is oxidation: combining oxygen with another substance. The defining difference between a fire and your half-eaten apple is speed: fire is an oxidation process that happens very fast, so that light, heat and sound are released — often with enough force and majesty to justify the ancients’ reverence.The sudden release of energy causes temperatures to rise, sometimes by thousands of degrees. And it also results in smoke, the toxic waste of fire’s leftovers.

fuel (something that will burn)

heat (enough to make the fuel burn)

and air (oxygen)

What is 694,563,239 rounded to the nearest thousand
lina2011 [118]
694,563,239 rounded to the nearest thousand is 694,563.
 
It's because the first digit from the right is for ones, second for tens, third for hundreds and fourth for thousands and that's the one that we should take a closer look at. You can round it either to 3 or 4, depends on the digit of hundreds. In this case 3239 is clearly closer to 3000 than 4000, that's why we round it to 694,563, not 694,564.

For the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g)CO(g) + H20(g)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,  

ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn

= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K

= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ

= 29 kJ

As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.
