Assuming gasoline is 89.0% isooctane, with a density of 0.692 g/mL, what is the theoretical yield (in grams) of CO2 produced by

the combustion of 1.80 x 1010 gallons of gasoline (the estimated annual consumption of gasoline in the U.S.)? Remember, there are 3.785 liters in 1 gallon and assume that isooctane is the only carbon containing component of gasoline. Scientific notation can be entered as follows: 1.23 x 1023 = 1.23E23

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 1.453\times 10^{14}g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Volume of isooctane = 1.80\times 10^{10}gallons

To convert this into liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 gallon = 3.785 L

So, 1.80\times 10^{10}gallon\times (\frac{3.785L}{1gallon})=6.813\times 10^{10}L

To calculate the mass of isooctane, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Volume of isooctane = 6.813\times 10^{10}L=6.813\times 10^{13}mL    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Density of isooctane = 0.692 g/mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.692g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of isooctane}}{6.813\times 10^{13}mL}\\\\\text{Mass of isooctane}=(0.692g/mL\times 6.813\times 10^{13}mL)=4.714\times 10^{13}g

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of isooctane = 4.714\times 10^{13}g

Molar mass of isooctane = 114.22 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of isooctane}=\frac{4.714\times 10^{13}g}{114.22g/mol}=4.127\times 10^{11}mol

The chemical equation for the combustion of isooctane follows:

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction;

2 moles of isooctane produces 16 moles of carbon dioxide.

So, 4.127\times 10^{11}mol of isooctane will produce = \frac{16}{2}\times 4.127\times 10^{11}mol=3.3016\times 10^{12}mol of carbon dioxide

  • Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.00 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 3.3016\times 10^{12}mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

3.3016\times 10^{12}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44.00g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(3.3016\times 10^{12}mol\times 44.00g/mol)=1.453\times 10^{14}g

Hence, the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 1.453\times 10^{14}g

You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3, to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the
irakobra [83]

Answer:

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Explanation:

Mass of precipitate that is calcium oxalate = 140.2 mg = 0.1402 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of calcium oxalate = \frac{0.1402 g}{128 g/mol}=0.001095 mol

1 mole of calcium oxalate have 1 mole of calcium atom.

Then 0.001095 moles of calcium oxalate will have 0.001095 moles of calcium atom.

Mass of 0.001095 moles of calcium :

0.001095 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.04381 g

Mass of sample of limestone = 128.3 mg = 0.1283 g

Percentage of calcium in limestone:

\frac{0.04381 g}{0.1283 g}\times 100=34.15\%

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

2 moles of substance A contains 12.04 × 1023 atoms.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

2 moles of Substance B

Explanation:

Because 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02× 10²³ particles either atoms, molecules, ions or even electron(Avogardo Constant)

Therefore 12.04 × 10²³/ 6.02× 10²³  =  2 mole of Substance B
