How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 17.0 grams of octane (c8h18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?

1 answer:

8 0

The balanced equation for the combustion of octane is as follows
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of C₈H₁₈ to O₂ is 2:25
number of octane moles reacted - 17.0 g / 114.2 g/mol = 0.149 mol
according to molar ratio
if 2 mol of octane reacts with 25 mol of O₂
then 0.149 mol of octane reacts with - 25 /2 x 0.149 mol = 1.86 mol of O₂
mass of O₂ - 1.86 mol x 32 g/mol = 59.5 g
59.5 g of O₂ is required to react with

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶³Cu (isotopic mass = 62.9296 amu) and ⁶⁵Cu (isotopic mass = 64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu,

Abundance of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu ; 70% , 30.848%

<h3>Calculation : </h3>

Let the natural abundance of 63, Cu isotope be x%.

The natural abundance of

Cu isotope will be 100−x.

The average atomic weight is 63.546 g.

Hence, 100×63.546=63x+65(100−x)

6354.6=63x+6500−65x=6500−2x

2x=145.4

x=72.7≃70

Hence, the natural abundance of the 63Cu isotope must be approximately 70%.

For the ⁶⁵Cu calculation is same and the answer is 30.848%

<h3>What is isotope ?</h3>

Isotopes are members of a family of elements that all have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.

Example : Magnesium has three natural isotopes : ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg.

<h3>What is Atomic mass ?</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, while atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (synonymous with uniform atomic mass unit). 1 Da is defined as 1/12 the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in the ground state.

Answer:

14. 13.2cg = 1.32dg

15. 3.8m = 0.0038km

16. 24.8L = 24800mL

17. 0.87kL = 870L

18. 26.01cm = 0.0002601km

19. 0.001hm = 10cm

Explanation:

14. 13.2/10 = 1.32

15. 38/1000 = 0.0038

16. 24.8(1000) = 24,800

17. 0.87(1000) = 870

18. 26.01/100000 = 0.0002601

19. 0.001hm(10000) = 10

An easy way to do these by yourself is to familiarize yourself with what each prefix means. Once you do this, you can multiply the value of the prefix when converting from a smaller unit of measurement to a larger one and divide the value of the prefix when converting from a large unit of measurement to a smaller one.
