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

How many moles of O2 are required<br> if 12 moles of CuFeS are consumed?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

24 moles of oxygen are required.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CuFeS = 12 mol

Number of moles of O₂ react = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2CuFeS + 4O₂       →       Cu₂S + 3SO₂ + 2FeO

now we will compare the moles of O₂ and CuFeS.

                         CuFeS       :        O₂

                              2            :         4

                             12            :         4/2×12 = 24 mol

How do I find the protons ,neutrons and electrons in an element
nlexa [21]
The atomic number of an element is the same as the number of protons. As long as the atom is neutral, your electrons and protons will be the same number. To find neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons

Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point. Rank from highest to lowest boiling point. 1. Paraffin, C40Hg2 2.
lesya [120]

Answer:

Paraffin > Heptadecane > Hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > Propane

Explanation:

It must first be establish that all the molecules listed in the question are alkanes. For alkanes, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of alkanes increases with increasing molecular weight. This is as a result of increase in the surface area of the molecule. Increase in surface area implies a greater degree of dispersion forces.

This is the reason why high boiling points are observed for high molecular weight alkanes.
