Answer:

1.12×10¹¹ kg of CO₂ are produced with 4.6×10¹⁰ L of isooctane

Explanation:

Let's state the combustion reaction:

C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂  →   8CO₂  +  9H₂O

Let's calculate the mass of isooctane that reacts.

Density = Mass / Volume

Density . Volume = Mass

First of all, let's convert the volume in L to mL, so we can use density.

4.6×10¹⁰ L . 1000 mL / 1L = 4.6×10¹³ mL

0.792 g/mL . 4.6×10¹³ mL = 3.64 ×10¹³ g

This mass of isooctane reacts to produce CO₂ and water, so let's determine the moles of reaction

3.64 ×10¹³ g . 1mol / 114 g = 3.19×10¹¹ mol

Ratio is 1:8 so 1 mol of isooctane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore 3.19×10¹¹ mol would produce (3.19×10¹¹ mol . 8)  = 2.55×10¹² moles of CO₂

Now, we can determine the mass of produced CO₂ by multipling:

moles . molar mass

2.55×10¹² mol . 44 g/mol = 1.12×10¹⁴ g of CO₂

If we convert to kg  1.12×10¹⁴ g / 1000 =  1.12×10¹¹ kg

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.
