Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{31.8 g CO}_{2}}

Explanation:

We are given the masses of two reactants and asked to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

MM:         114.23     32.00      44.01

               2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 18H₂O

Mass/g:     10.3        69.  

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

\text{Moles of C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} = \text{10.3 g C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}}{\text{114.23 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}\\\\\text{Moles of O$_{2}$} = \text{69. g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O$_{2}$}}{\text{32.00 g O$_{2}$}} = \text{2.16 mol O$_{2}$}

3. Calculate the moles of CO₂ from each reactant

\textbf{From C$_{8}$H$_{18}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =  \text{0.090 17 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol C$_{8}$H$_{18}$}} = \text{0.7214 mol CO}_{2}\\\\\textbf{From O$_{2}$:}\\\text{Moles of CO$_{2}$} =\text{2.16 molO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{25 mol O$_{2}$}} = \text{1.38 mol CO$_{2}$}\\\\\text{Octane is the limiting reactant because it gives fewer moles of CO$_{2}$.}

4. Calculate the mass of CO₂

\text{ Mass of CO$_{2}$} = \text{0.7214 mol CO$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{44.01 g CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}} = \textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{31.8 g CO}_\mathbf{{2}}}$}

At Jim's auto shop, it takes him minutes to do an oil change and minutes to do a tire change. Let be the number of oil changes h
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The total time that Jim needs to change x oil changes and y tire changes is less than 180 min.

The time needed for x oil changes is 12 * x.

The time needed for y tire changes is 18 * y.

The total time is the sum of the above times and needs to be less than 180 that is

12 * x + 18 * y < 180 divide both sides of equation by 6

12/6 * x + 18/6*y < 180/6

2*x + 3*y < 30

2*x < 30 - 3*y divide both sides by 2 to get the inequality for x

x < 30/2 - 3/2*y = 15 - 1.5 y < 15 that is x < = 15

2*x + 3*y < 30

3*y < 30 - 2*x divide both sides by 3 to get the inequality for y

y < 30/3 - 2/3 *x = 10 - 2/3*x < 10 that is y < = 10

Also we can write x + y < x+ 3/2 * y < 15.

Explanation:

Jim's can do not more then 5 oil changes and not more then 10 tire changes or all together she can do not more then 15 total of oil and tire changes.

I'LL MARK U BRAINLIEST-How many kW does a nuclear power plant use in a year?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Nuclear power comes from nuclear fission

Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plan

When will diffusion slow down
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Exchange across cell membranes - diffusion. The higher the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of facilitated diffusion, up to a point. As equilibrium is reached the concentration gradient is much lower because the difference in concentrations is very small so the rate of facilitated diffusion will slow down and level off.
