Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C_11H_24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Eart

h's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid undecane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.260 kg of undecane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 13.0°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

Volume of carbon dioxide is 428.23 L.

Explanation:

Below is the chemical reaction or chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane into carbon dioxide.

C_{11}H_{24}(l) + 17O_{2}(g) \to 11CO_{2} (g) + 12H_2O(g)

Here, undecane is in liquid form that reacts with gaseous oxygen (combustion)  and produces carbon dioxide and water as a product in the gaseous form.

The molar mass of undecane = 156.31 g/mol.

\text{Number of moles} = \frac{260g}{156.31g/mol} = 1.66 \ mol.

From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of undecane produces 11 moles of carbon dioxide. Therefore, 1.66 mol will produce 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide.

Now find the volume of 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide when the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius and pressure is 1 atm.

V = \frac{nRT}{P} \\

V = \frac{18.26 \times 0.082 \times 286 \ K}{1atm} \\

V = 428.23 \ L

Consider the following reactions and their respective equilibrium constants: NO(g)+12Br2(g)⇌NOBr(g)Kp=5.3 2NO(g)⇌N2(g)+O2(g)Kp=2
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant of the given reaction is 1.3\times 10^{-29}

Explanation:

NO+\frac{1}{2}Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons NOBr....(K_{p})_{1}=5.3

2NO\rightleftharpoons N_{2}+O_{2}....(K_{p})_{2}=2.1\times 10^{30}

The given reaction can be written as summation of the following reaction-

2NO+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr

N_{2}+O_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NO

......................................................................................

N_{2}+O_{2}+Br_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr

Equilibrium constant of this reaction is given as-

\frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}][Br_{2}]}

=(\frac{[NOBr]}{[NO][Br_{2}]^{\frac{1}{2}}})^{2}(\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]})

=\frac{(K_{p})_{1}^{2}}{(K_{p})_{2}}

=\frac{(5.3)^{2}}{2.1\times 10^{30}}=1.3\times 10^{-29}

What is meant by the term chemical reaction​
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<h3>\huge{ \underline{ \underline { \bold{ \sf{ \orange{See \: below}}}}}}</h3>

Explanation:

▪️\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \blue{Chemical \: reaction}}}}

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{ \: Further \: more \: explanation}}}}

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

▪️\underline{ \bold{ \sf{ \purple{For \: example}}}}

When nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia :

Nitrogen + Hydrogen ⇒ Ammonia

In 1928, 47.5 g of a new element was isolated from 660 kg of the ore molybdenite. the percent by mass of this element in the ore
vitfil [10]

To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the formula:

% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%

% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*

<span>% mass = 7.20 x 10^-3 %</span>
