Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl
AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 9.50\times 10^{12} kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: 29\times 10^{12}kg

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of CO_2

Thus 0.083\times 10^{15}moles of octane give =\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg

Thus 29\times 10^{12}kg of CO_2 is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.

3. What noble gas would be part of the electron configuration notation for Mn?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Argon {Ar}

Explanation:

The noble gas used for a condensed electron configuration is the one before the element which you are configuring.

In this case, the element (Mn) is manganese

The noble gas that is before this element is Argon which is the row above it

so your configuration would be {Ar} 3d^5 4s^2

When magnesium metal is heated in air it begins to release large amounts of heat and light. What kind of a reaction is this an e
Salsk061 [2.6K]
It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.
