Ethanol, C2H6O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is

a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of octane, C8H18, is 1.308×103 kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 463 grams of octane ? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 463 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 463 grams of octane?

Answer:

This means 463 grams of ethanol would provide less amount of energy

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Heat of combustion of ethanol = 326.7 kcal/mol

The heat of combustion of octane =  1.308*10³ kcal/mol

Mass of octane = 463 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Molar mass ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 463 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 4.05 moles

Step 3: Calculate energy of combustion of 4.05 moles octane

Combustion of 1 mol octane gives us: 1.308 * 10³ kcal/mol

Combustion of 4.05 moles octane gives us 4.05 * 1.308 * 10³ kcal/mol = <u>5.30 * 10³ kcal</u>

This means the combustion reaction of 463 grams of octane gives us 5.30 * 10³ kcal

Step 4:

Heat of combustion of ethanol = 326.7 kcal/mol

OR in words: combustion of 1 mol ethanol gives us 326.7 kcal energy

Moles ethanol = 463 grams / 46.07 g/mol

Moles ethanol = 10.05 moles

Since combustion of 1 mol ethanol gives us 326.7 kcal

10.05 moles ethanol will give us = 10.05 * 326.7 = 3283.3 kcal = <u>3.28 * 10³ kcal</u>

<u />

5.30 * 10³ kcal > 3.28 * 10³ kcal

This means 463 grams of ethanol would provide less amount of energy

Convert 15.2 moles of K to atoms of K.
choli [55]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K}}

Explanation:

To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.

This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.

\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }

Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2

15.2 \ mol \ K *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }

The moles of potassium cancel.

15.2 *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 }

The denominator of 1 can be ignored.

15.2 * {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{

Multiply.

9.15344*10^{24} \ atoms \ K

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.

9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K

In 15.2 moles of potassium, there are <u>9.15*10²⁴ atoms of potassium.</u>

The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound, C5H10O
vova2212 [387]

Answer:The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound, C5H10O2, exhibits strong, broad absorption across the 2500-3200 cm^1 region and an intense absorption at 1715 cm'^-1. Relative absorption intensity: (s)=strong, (m)-medium, (w) weak. What functional class(cs) docs the compound belong to List only classes for which evidence is given here. Attach no significance to evidence not cited explicitly. Do not over-interpret exact absorption band positions. None of your inferences should depend on small differences like 10 to 20 cm^1. The functional class(es) of thla compound is(are) alkane (List only if no other functional class applies.) alkene terminal alkyne internal alkyne arene alcohol ether amine aldehyde or ketone carboxylic acid ester nitr
