A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod

uce carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the reaction of 7.58 g of octane? Please explain the answer to me like I'm five, I want to understand but the content makes no sense.

Answer:

Mass = 23.232 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₈H₁₈ = 7.58 g

Mass of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂      →     16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Number of moles of octane:

Number of  moles =  mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.58 g/ 114.23 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.066 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with octane from balance chemical equation.

                  C₈H₁₈            :           CO₂

                       2              :              16

                 0.066             :           16/2×0.066 = 0.528

Mass of CO₂ produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.528 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 23.232 g

A sample of helium gas is placed in a rigid cylinder that has a movable piston. The volume of the gas is varied by moving the pi
Nataliya [291]
Helium is a light gas.  Movement can be predicted by which chamber has the lighter gas(es) and which chamber has the heavier.  constant changes can also be a variable.  If the gas is constant, then changes are more easily predicted.

How many moles of H2O2 are needed to react with 1.07 moles of N2H4?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.14 moles of H₂O₂ are required

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂O₂ required = ?

Number of moles of N₂H₄ available = 1.07 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂H₄  +   2H₂O₂       →   N₂ +  4H₂O

now we will compare the moles of H₂O₂ and N₂H₄

                          N₂H₄     :      H₂O₂  

                            1           :        2

                            1.07      :         2×1.07 = 2.14 mol

An atom of which of these elements most likely forms an anion? A. AI B. Br C. Ca D. Mg
Papessa [141]
The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.
