Money spent on fuel in 1 year is $1500, the cost of fuel is $3.00 per gallon. Thus, gallon of fuel used in 1 year can be calculated as follows:

$3 =1 gallon

$1=\frac{1}{3}gallons

Thus, $1500=\frac{1500}{3}gallons=500 gallons

converting this into m^{3}

1 gallon=0.0037 m^{3}

Thus,

500 gallons=1.8927 m^{3}

The fuel used is pure octane, the density of octane is 703 kg/m^{3} thus, mass of octane used can be calculated as follows:

m=d×V=703 kg/m^{3}×1.8927 m^{3}=1.33\times 10^{3} kg or 1.33\times 10^{6} g

Now, molar mass of octane is 114.23 g/mol

converting mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{1.33\times 10^{6}g}{114.23 g/mol}=1.167\times 10^{4}mol

The reaction for combustion of octane is as follows:

2C_{8}H_{18}+25O_{2}\rightarrow 16CO_{2}+18H_{2}O

From the balanced reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of CO_{2} thus, 1 mole of octane will give \frac{16}{2}=8 moles of CO_{2}.

1.167\times 10^{4}mol of octane =8\times 1.167\times 10^{4}mol=9.34\times 10^{4} mol of CO_{2}.

Now, molar mass of CO_{2} is 44.01 g/mol, mass can be calculated as follows:

m=n×M=9.34\times 10^{4} mol ×44.01 g/mol=4.11×10^{6} g.

converting into kg, mass of CO_{2} produced will be 4.11×10^{3} kg.

Thus, quantity of CO_{2} goes into our atmosphere in 1 year is 4.11×10^{3} kg.

Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, ins grams, must react to produce 50
Ivan

Answer:

56.28 g

Explanation:

First change the grams of oxygen to moles.

(50.00 g)/(32.00 g/mol) = 1.5625 mol O₂

You have to use stoichiometry for the next part.  Looking at the equation, you can see that for every 2 moles of H₂O, 1 mole of O₂ is produced.  Convert from moles of O₂ to moles of H₂O using this relation.

(1.5625 mol O₂) × (2 mol H₂O/1 mol O₂) = 3.125 mol H₂O

Now convert moles of H₂O to grams.

(3.125 mol) × (18.01 g/mol) = 56.28125 g

Convert to significant figures.

56.28125 ≈ 56.28
