The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (

in kg) of carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere per 1.0 kg of octane burned. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.)

Answer:

3.09kg

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol

Mass of C8H18 from the balanced equation = 2 x 114 = 228g

Converting 228g of C8H18 to kg, we obtained:

228/1000 = 0.228kg

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 16 x 44 = 704g

Converting 704g of CO2 to kg, we obtained:

704/1000 = 0.704kg

From the equation,

0.228kg of C8H18 produced 0.704kg of CO2.

Therefore, 1kg of C8H18 will produce = 0.704/0.228 = 3.09kg of CO2

gulaghasi [49]
So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow. 
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
