Combustion of hydrocarbons such as dodecane (C12H26) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth'

s atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
a. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid dodecane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.


b. Suppose 0.450 kg of dodecane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 19.0 O. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

A. 2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

B. 761.42 L

Explanation:

A. Step 1:

The equation for the reaction.

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

A. Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

The equation can be balance as follow:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 12 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 12 in front of CO2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 26 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 13 in front of H2O as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Now, there are a total of 37 atoms of O2 on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 37/2 in front of O2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + 37/2O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction from the equation.

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

Now the equation is balanced

B. Step 1:

We'll by obtaining the number of mole of C12H26 in 0.450 kg of C12H26. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C12H26 = (12x12) + (26x1) = 144 + 26 = 170g/mol

Mass of C12H26 = 0.450 kg = 0.450x1000 = 450g

Number of mole of C12H26 =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of C12H26 = 450/170

Number of mole of C12H26 = 2.65 moles

B. Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2 produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C12H26 produced 24 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 2.65 moles of C12H26 will produce = (2.65x24)/2 = 31.8 moles of CO2.

B. Step 3:

Determination of the volume of CO2 produced by the reaction.

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = 19°C = 19°C + 273 = 292K

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) = 31.8 moles

Volume (V) =?

The volume of CO2 produced by the reaction can b obtained by applying the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

1 x V = 31.8 x 0.082 x 292

V = 761.42 L

Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is 761.42 L

Answer:

a. C_{12}H_{26}(l)+\frac{37}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+13H_2O(g)

b. V=761 L

Explanation:

Hello,

a. In this case, the required balanced combustion is:

C_{12}H_{26}(l)+\frac{37}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+13H_2O(g)

b. In this case, we compute the available moles of dodecane as:

n_{C_{12}H_{26}}^{available}=0.450kgC_{12}H_{26}*\frac{1000gC_{12}H_{26}}{1kgC_{12}H_{26}}*\frac{1molC_{12}H_{26}}{170gC_{12}H_{26}} =2.65molC_{12}H_{26}

Next, we compute the yielded moles of carbon dioxide by using the 1:12 mole ratio given at the chemical reaction:

n_{CO_2}=2.65molC_{12}H_{26}*\frac{12molCO_2}{1molC_{12}H_{26}} =31.8molCO_2

Finally, by using the ideal gas equation we compute the volume at the given conditions:

V=\frac{nRT}{p}=\frac{31.8mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(19+273.15)K}{1atm}\\\\V=761 L

Best regards.

Determine whether each statement describes an electromagnetic wave, a mechanical wave, or both types of wave.
KiRa [710]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which statement describes a difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

A. Mechanical waves cannot be longitudinal, but electromagnetic waves can.

B. Electromagnetic waves cannot move particles, but mechanical waves can.

C. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

D. Mechanical waves do not transfer energy, but electromagnetic waves do.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. Waves may be classified as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves based on their medium of propagation.

A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. An example of a mechanical wave is sound waves. Sound waves are propagated in air.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for propagation. They can travel through space. An example of electromagnetic waves is light waves.

Is titanium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
tatiyna
<span>Titanium is the first element in the fourth column of the periodic table. It is classified as a transition metal. Titanium atoms have 22 electrons and 22 protons. Titanium is fairly inactive and is very resistant to corrosion from other elements and substances like acids and oxygen. It has a relatively low electrical and thermal conductivity. Titanium is used to alloy with different metals such as iron, aluminum, and manganese where it helps to produce strong and lightweight alloys for use in spacecraft, naval ships, missiles, and as armor plating.</span>
