Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl
AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 9.50\times 10^{12} kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: 29\times 10^{12}kg

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of CO_2

Thus 0.083\times 10^{15}moles of octane give =\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg

Thus 29\times 10^{12}kg of CO_2 is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.

A balloon filled with helium gas at 1.00 atm occupies 12.9 L. What volume would the balloon occupy in the upper atmosphere, at a
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

67,9 L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law indicates that the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas, for a constant amount of gas we can write:

P1V1=P2V2

For the problem:

P1= 1 atm, V1= 12,9 L

P2=0,19 atm, V2=?

Therefore:

V2=P1V1/P2.................... V2=1 atm*12,9L/0,19 atm = 67,9 L

The balloon would occupy a volume of 67,9 L in the upper atmosphere.

Explain how intermolecular attractions between molecules influence the bulk of properties of a material
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

<em><u>Intermolecular forces determine bulk properties, such as the melting points of solids and the boiling points of liquids. Liquids boil when the molecules have enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces that hold them together, thereby forming bubbles of vapor within the liquid.</u></em>

4. How many atoms are in 32.6 g of Oxygen?
Natali5045456 [20]

Hey there!

Oxygen has a molar mass of 16. That means 16g of oxygen is 1 mole.

32.6 ÷ 16 = 2.0375 moles

We have 2.0375 moles.

There are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms in one mole.

2.0375 x 6.022 x 10²³

1.3 x 10²⁴

There are 1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms in 32.6 grams of oxygen.

Hope this helps!
