Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}) are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

(4) The number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Explanation :

<u>Part 1 :</u>

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_2H_6 = \frac{1000}{52}=19.23g

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of C_4H_{10} = \frac{1000}{49}=20.41g

<u>Part 2 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel (C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10}).

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of C_4H_{10} = 58 g/mole

\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles

and,

\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles

<u>Part 3 :</u>

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_2H_6 is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of C_4H_{10} is:

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

<u>Part 4 :</u>

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of CO_2 produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 2 moles of CO_2

As, 0.641 mole of C_2H_6 react to produce 0.641\times 2=1.28 moles of CO_2

and,

C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 4 moles of CO_2

As, 0.352 mole of C_4H_{10} react to produce 0.352\times 4=1.41 moles of CO_2

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of CO_2 is C_2H_6

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?
Lana71 [14]

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

The burning of a sample of propane
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

70.0°C

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Amount of heat generated by propane as 104.6 kJ or 104600 Joules
  • Mass of water is 500 g
  • Initial temperature as 20.0 ° C

We are required to determine the final temperature of water;

Taking the initial temperature is x°C

We know that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C

Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature

In this case;

Change in temp =(x-20)° C

Therefore;

104600 J = 500 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (x-20)

104600 J = 2090x -41800

146400 = 2090 x

  x = 70.0479

     =70.0 °C

Thus, the final temperature of water is 70.0°C

A megamole of titanium contains __________ moles of titanium.
Gala2k [10]
Answer is: 1 megamole is equal to 1000000 (one million) mole or 10⁶<span> moles</span>.
The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 10⁶, or in exponential notation, 1E6.
<span>The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon C-12.</span>
