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

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the choose one: a. spin-spin interaction. b. proton-proton chain. c. cno cycle.
Lerok [7]

In a high-mass star, hydrogen fusion occurs via the CNO (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen) cycle.

According to the life cycle of a star, there are three main phases in the life of a star: The initial phase (a quick phase), short phase or supergiant phase and death phase or supernova explosion.

the CNO cycle means Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycle and this process tale place during main sequence phase.

In this phase, hydrogen fuses into helium as a result of six different reaction taking place inside a star.

The first step of the sequence begins when the nucleus of carbon 12 isotope emits gamma rays after capturing a proton and produces nitrogen-13.

This whole cycle is known as stellar nucleosynthesis.

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
