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.

when was the last year the theory of understanding the energetics and arrangement of atoms was developed
NISA [10]

In 1897 the theory of understanding the energetics and arrangement of atoms was developed by Josheph Larmor.

It is also called solar system model of atom.

<h3>What is solar system model of atom? </h3>

The “solar system” model indicates an atom as a whole massive positive body that is the nucleus similar to the sun in the solar system with negative entities that are the electrons as the planets in our solar system revolving around it.

<h3>Why this model not accepted? </h3>

The thought about this model is that the electrons which revolves around the nucleus are the charged particles which have centripetal acceleration during the revolution. Even if they all are travelling at the same velocity in modulus, the trajectory of their velocity varies with respect to time which resulting in the centripetal acceleration. An accelerated charge particle will emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This results in the loss of energy which causes the charged particle to fall inside the nucleus. Therefore, this fails to happen.

Thus, we concluded that In 1897 the theory of understanding the energetics and arrangement of atoms was developed.
