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.

Methanol (ch3oh), also called methyl alcohol, is the simplest alcohol. it is used as a fuel in race cars and is a potential repl
erica [24]

Answer:

             %age Yield  =  51.45 %

Solution:

Step 1: Convert Kg into g

68.5 Kg CO  =  68500 g CO

8.60 Kg H₂  =  8600 g

Step 2: Find out Limiting reactant;

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow;

                                 CO  +  2 H₂    →    CH₃OH

According to Equation,

                   28 g (1 mol) CO reacts with  =  4 g (2 mol) of H₂

So,

                    68500 g CO will react with  =  X g of H₂

Solving for X,

                    X  =  (68500 g × 4 g) ÷ 28 g

                    X  =  9785 g of H₂

It shows 9785 g H₂ is required to react with 68500 g of CO but we are provided with 8600 g of H₂ which is less than required. Therefore, H₂ is provided in less amount hence, it is a Limiting reagent and will control the yield of products.

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Yield

According to equation,

            4 g (2 mol) H₂ reacts to produce  =  32 g (1 mol) Methanol

So,

                          8600 g H₂ will produce  =  X g of CH₃OH

Solving for X,

                    X  =  (8600 g × 32 g) ÷ 4 g

                     X =  68800 g of CH₃OH

Step 4: Calculate %age Yield

                     %age Yield  =  Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield × 100

Putting Values,

                     %age Yield  =  3.54 × 10⁴ g ÷ 68800 g × 100

                     %age Yield  =  51.45 %

How many grams of NaCl are needed to prepare 50.0 grams of 35.0% of salt solution?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

17.5 g

Explanation:

Given data

  • Mass of solution to be prepared: 50.0 grams
  • Concentration of the salt solution: 35.0%

The concentration by mass of NaCl in the solution is 35.0%, that is, there are 35.0 grams of sodium chloride per 100 grams of solution. We will use this ratio to find the mass of sodium chloride required to prepare 50.0 grams of a 35.0% salt solution.

50.0gSolution \times \frac{35.0gNaCl}{100gSolution} = 17.5gNaCl

Which of these describes an ethical dilemma that drug designers could face?
LenKa [72]

The statement 'whether people should take medicine or if they should seek alternative treatments' describes an ethical dilemma that drug designers face.

<h3>What is drug development?</h3>

Drug development refers to all the processes from target drug identification to drug validation and commercialization.

Drug development involves different stages of development including preclinical and clinical trials.

Ethical dilemmas in drug development include the release of a drug that is ineffective when compared to parallel treatments.

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will
GaryK [48]
The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
