Combustion is a reaction between a combustible substance and oxygen, to ultimately produce carbon dioxide and water. Reaction between carbon and oxygen would give,
C + O2 ------> CO2
Here, we have 86.5 grams of carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a product of combustion. Dividing this mass by the molar mass of CO2, which is 44 grams, we can determine the number of moles of CO2.
<u> 86.5 g CO </u> = 1.966 moles CO2
44 g CO2/ mole
Considering that CO2 is composed of 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen, and that with complete combustion, 1 mole of carbon reacts to produces 1 mole of CO2, we can then determine the mass of the carbon in the hydrocarbon fuel.
1.966 moles CO2 x <u> 1 mole C </u> x <u> </u><u>12 g C </u> = 23.59 g C
1 mole CO2 1 mole C
We were given 25.0 grams of the fuel hydrocarbon. A hydrocarbon is a substance consisting of carbon and hydrogen. To determine the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel, we simply subtract 23.59 grams from 25.0 grams.
25.0 g - 23.59 g = 1.41 grams Hydrogen
To know the number of moles of hydrogen, we divide the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel by the molar mass of hydrogen, which is 1.01 g/mole. Thus, we have 1.396 mole hydrogen.
To determine the empirical formula, we divide the number of moles carbon by the number of moles hydrogen, and find a factor that would give whole number ratios for the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel,
Carbon: <u> 1.966 mol </u> = 1.408 x 5 (factor) = 7
1.396 mol
Hydrogen: <u> 1.396 mol </u> = 1.00 x 5 (factor) = 5
1.396 mol
Thus, the empirical formula is C7H5
Answer is: volume of CO₂ is 0,113 dm³.
Ideal gas law = pV = nRT.
p = 850 PSI = 5860543,6992 Pa.
Psi <span>is the abbreviation of pound per square inch.
T = 21</span>°C = 294,15 K.
n = 0,273 mol.
R = 8,314 J/K·mol.
V = nRT ÷ p
V = 0,273 mol · 8,314 J/K·mol · 294,15 K ÷ 5860543,6992 Pa.
V = 0,00011 m³ = 0,113 dm³.
