Carbon dioxide emissions from, well, whatever emits CO2 really.

Answer: B. Carbon dioxide

Explanation: Global warming arises due to the emission of gases which are accumulated in the atmosphere, that is, the layer of these gases increases in an atmosphere, and prevents the reflected sun rays from the ground to leave the atmosphere. Such a higher amount of sunshine-heat which is higher than necessary, remains in the atmosphere and heats the surface of the earth, which is the effect of the greenhouse. These are gases produced by combustion of fossil fuels, and during this combustion they are emitted into the atmosphere. Gases that cause the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. The problem is that fossil fuels are used to produce electricity, in agriculture and transport. Global warming has drastically increased over the past decades, and if preventive measures which involving the use of alternative fuels are not undertaken, the catastrophic consequences, which are already visible, will be even greater.

Be sure to answer all parts. The sulfate ion can be represented with four S―O bonds or with two S―O and two S═O bonds. (a) Which

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a) Representation - (in attachment)

b) Tetrahedral geometry and

c) $sp^{3}$ hybrid orbitals invovle sigma bonding.

$\pi$ orbitals are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

Explanation:

Representation in attachment.

The overall charge in the both structures are -2. The structure (b) is favored by the resonance structures since the formal charge with in the species are remained.

Therefore, structure (b) is the better representation of sulfate ion.

In sulfate ion, sulfur atom is attached with four different oxygen atoms. According to the VSEPR theory , the sufate ion has tetrahedral geometry.

There is four sigma bonds and zero lone pairs present on the central metal atom.

Hence, the hybridization of the sulfur atom is $sp^{3}$

The s and p orbitals of sulfur invovles hybridization and form sigma bonds.The orbitals of sulfur involves $\pi$ bonding.

Therefore, $\pi$ bonds are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

How many L of carbon dioxide at 1.00 atm and 298.15 K are released from a car's engine upon consumption of a 60.0 L LIQUID tank

torisob [31]

Answer:

<u>79,000 liters</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Number of moles of gasoline</u>

a) Convert 60.0 liters to grams

density = 0.77kg/liter

density = mass / volume

mass = density × volume

mass = 0.77kg/liter × 60.0 liter = 46.2 kg

46.2kg × 1,000g/kg = 46,200g

b) Convert 46,200 grams to moles

molar mass of C₈H₁₈ = 114.2 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 46,200g / (114.2 gmol) = 404.55 mol

<u>2. Number of moles of carbon dioxide, CO₂ produced</u>

a) Balanced chemical equation (given):

C₈H₁₈ (l) + ²⁵/₂ O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 9 H₂O (g)

b) mole ratio:

1 mol C₈H₁₈ / 8 mol CO₂ = 404.55 mol C₈H₁₈ / x

Solve for x:

x = 404.55mol C₈H₁₈ × 8 mol CO₂ / 1mol C₈H₁₈ = 3,236.4 mol CO₂

<u> 3. Convert the number of moles of carbon dioxide to volume</u>

Use the ideal gas equation:

pV = nRT

V = nRT/p

p = 1 atm

T = 298.15K

n = 3,236.4 mol

R = 0.08206 (mol . liter)/ (K . mol)

Substitute and compute:

V =3,236.4 mol × 0.08206 (mol . liter) / (K . mol) 298.15K / 1 atm

V = 79,183 liter

Round to two significant figures (because the density has two significant figures): 79,000 liters ← answer
