Answer : The number of moles of hexane is, 3.06 moles

Explanation : Given,

Moles of carbon dioxide = 18.4 mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O$

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that 2 moles of hexane react with 19 moles of oxygen gas to give 12 moles of carbon dioxide gas and 14 moles of water as a product.

As, 12 moles of carbon dioxide obtained from 2 moles of hexane

So, 18.4 moles of carbon dioxide obtained from $\frac{2}{12}\times 18.4=3.06$ moles of hexane

Therefore, the number of moles of hexane is, 3.06 moles

He combustion reaction of hexane:

2 C6H14 + 19 O2 = 12 CO2 + 14 H2O

2 mol C6H14 ---------> 12 mol CO2
x mol C6H14 ---------> 18.4 mol CO2

12 * x = 18.4 * 2

12 x = 36.8

x = 36.8 / 12

x = 3.067 moles of CO2

hope this helps!.

What fuel source is Jan using if she exercises at 85% of her maximum aerobic capacity?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Increased exercise intensity means the overall need for energy increases. As we increase exercise intensity we increase our glucose uptake and oxidation which far exceeds uptake, indicating that muscle stores of glycogen are being used. At moderate intensities (65%) there is an increased need for muscle glycogen and muscle triglycerides which is fat. At higher levels of intensities (85%) there is an even greater need for energy, and this is met almost solely by an increased uptake of glucose from the blood and from muscle glycogen.

In the case of fats as an energy fuel source at high intensities, increasing levels of intensity increases fat oxidation but once we get into higher levels of intensity, we return to levels of fat oxidation similar to very low intensities.

How does mass affect potential energy?

Andreyy89

What i would say: The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Hope this helps! :)

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

$Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive): $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

$E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V$

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.
