LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

(4) The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Explanation :

Part 1 :

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = $\frac{1000}{52}=19.23g$

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = $\frac{1000}{49}=20.41g$

Part 2 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

Molar mass of $C_2H_6$ = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_4H_{10}$ = 58 g/mole

$\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles$

and,

$\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles$

Part 3 :

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_2H_6$ is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_4H_{10}$ is:

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

Part 4 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce 2 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.641 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce $0.641\times 2=1.28$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce 4 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.352 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce $0.352\times 4=1.41$ moles of $CO_2$

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading four seconds after launch is shown a

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Question 1: 1 s after the motion starts

Question 2: 0 (just when the motion starts)

Explanation:

You will need to work with approximates values because the precision of the speedometers is low and you are requested to find approximate times.

1. From the speedometer shown at the right.

You can obtain how long the ball has been falling from the highest altitute it reached using the speed of 10 m/s shown by the speedometer at the right.

Free fall equation: Vf = Vo - gt

Vo = 0 ⇒ Vf = gt ⇒ t = Vf / g

For this problem, I recommend to work with a rough estimate of g: g = 10 m/s² ( I will tell you why soon)/

t = [10 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

That is the time falling. Since four seconds after launch have elapsed, the upward time was 3 seconds. This will let you to calculate the launching speed.

2. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 20 m/s

First, calculate the launching speed:

Vf = Vo - gt

Since the ball was 3 seconds going upward and the speed at the maximum altitude is 0 you get:

0 = Vo - gt

Vo = gt = 10 m/s² × 3 s = 30 m/s

Now, use the initial velocity to calculate when the ball is going upward with the speedometer reading is 20 m/s

20 m/s = 30 m/s - 10 m/s² × t

t = [ 30 m/s - 20 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

Thus, the first answer is t = 1 s.

3. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 30 m/s

This is the same speec estimated for the launching: 30 m/s.

So, this reading corresponds to the moment when the ball was launched.

Thus time is 0, i.e. it is the same instant of the launch.

If you had worked with g = 9.80 m/s², the time had been negative. This is due to the precision of the instruments.

That is why I recommended to work with g = 10 m/s².
