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.

What is the energy of a microwave photon that has a frequency of 9.86 x 1012 Hz?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6.533 × 10^-21J

Explanation:

The energy of the microwave photon can be calculated using:

E = hf

Where;

E = energy of photon (J)

h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J/s)

f = frequency (9.86 x 10^12 Hz)

Hence, E = hf

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 9.86 x 10^12

E = 65.33 × 10^(-34 + 12)

E = 65.33 × 10^(-22)

E = 6.533 × 10^-21J

The energy of the microwave photon is

6.533 × 10^-21J

If i have an 86 and i don’t do a 50 point assignment, what will my grade be in the class?
nexus9112 [7]
Well you are at a 86% so t<span>his is considered a "B" grade on an average grade scale. If you take 50 points we would need to know the Total point you could have got in that class to be able to see how much a percent was the assignment work and then take that percentage of the assignment and subtract it from the 86% to see where on the scale you would fall in after the assignment points were taken off.   Hope this helps :)

Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy just before it hits the ground? Why?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

When the bowling ball is first dropped, it has a maximum potential energy but minimum kinetic energy.  The height is max, so the potential energy will be greatest.  Velocity is 0, so kinetic energy will be 0.
