Calculate the number of pounds of CO2 released into the atmosphere when a 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobil

e engine. Assume that gasoline is primarily octane, C8H18, and that the density of gasoline is 0.692 g⋅mL^−1. This assumption ignores additives. Also, assume complete combustion. CO2 released:

Answer:

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide released into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Density of the gasoline ,d= 0.692 g/mL

Volume of gasoline in an tanks,V = 22.0 gallons = 83,279.02 mL

Let mass of the gasolin be M

d=\frac{M}{V}

M = V × d = 83,279.02 mL × 0.692 g/mL=57,629.081 g

Assume that gasoline is primarily octane (given)

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

Mass of octane burnt in the tank =  M = 57,629.081 g

Moles of octane =\frac{57,629.081 g}{114.08 g/mol}=505.1637 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then 505.1637 mol of octane will give:

\frac{16}{2}\times 505.1637 mol=4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide:

4,041.3100 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 177,858.05 g

Mass of carbon-dioxide produced in pounds = 391.28771 pounds

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide released into the atmosphe

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles</u>, using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can<u> calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • 0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.
