Answer:

1.34 × 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

To calculate the number of molecules of sodium oxide that will be created if 275 grams of sodium reacts with excess oxygen, use the chemical equation to calculate the number of moles and then multiply by Avogadro's number.

1) Balanced chemical equation (given):

4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O

2) Mole ratio:

4 mol Na : 2 mol Na₂O

3) Calculate the number of moles in 275 g of Na:

n = mass in grams / molar mass
mass of Na = 275 g
molar mass of Na₂O = 61.9789 g/mol

n = 275 g / 61.9789 g/mol = 4.437 mol of Na

4) Set a proportion to find the number of moles of product (Na₂O):

2 mol Na₂O / 4 mol Na = x / 4.437 mol Na

x = 4.437 / 2 mol Na₂O = 2.2185 mol Na₂O

5) Convert the number of moles to number of molecules:

# molecules = n × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol = 2.2185 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol = 1.34 × 10²⁴ molecules (rounded to 3 significant figures).

Assuming that gasoline is 100% isooctane, that isooctane burns to produce only CO2CO2 and H2OH2O, and that the density of isooct

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1.12×10¹¹ kg of CO₂ are produced with 4.6×10¹⁰ L of isooctane

Explanation:

Let's state the combustion reaction:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

Let's calculate the mass of isooctane that reacts.

Density = Mass / Volume

Density . Volume = Mass

First of all, let's convert the volume in L to mL, so we can use density.

4.6×10¹⁰ L . 1000 mL / 1L = 4.6×10¹³ mL

0.792 g/mL . 4.6×10¹³ mL = 3.64 ×10¹³ g

This mass of isooctane reacts to produce CO₂ and water, so let's determine the moles of reaction

3.64 ×10¹³ g . 1mol / 114 g = 3.19×10¹¹ mol

Ratio is 1:8 so 1 mol of isooctane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore 3.19×10¹¹ mol would produce (3.19×10¹¹ mol . 8) = 2.55×10¹² moles of CO₂

Now, we can determine the mass of produced CO₂ by multipling:

moles . molar mass

2.55×10¹² mol . 44 g/mol = 1.12×10¹⁴ g of CO₂

If we convert to kg 1.12×10¹⁴ g / 1000 = 1.12×10¹¹ kg
