A major component of gasoline is octane. When liquid octane is burned in air it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide

gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of octane needed to produce 2.40 mol of water. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

0.267 mol

Explanation:

The <em>unbalanced equation</em> for the reaction that takes place is:

  • C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → H₂O + CO₂

Once we balance it we're left with:

  • 2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 18H₂O + 16CO₂

Using the <em>stoichiometric ratio </em>of water and octane from the balanced reaction, we can <u>convert mol of water into mol of octane</u>:

  • 2.40 mol H₂O * \frac{2molC_8H_{18}}{18molH_2O} = 0.267 mol C₈H₁₈

Thus 0.267 moles of octane are needed to produce 2.40 mol of water.

Alexus [3.1K]
The whole sentence is written as:

Alcohol is a very common substance, which is surprising considering its many harmful effects.

From the sentence, the dependent clause would be "which is surprising considering its many harmful effects." The dependent clause is a part of a sentence which is not understandable without the whole sentence.

An unknown liquid has a mass of 4.25 × 108 mg and a volume of 0.250 m3. what is the density of the liquid in units of g/ml?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Density= mass/volume
             step  one :
  convert  m3  to  ml
1m^3  =1000000ml
0.250m^3 x1000000=250000ml
         
           step  two:  convert  mg   to  g
 1mg=0.001g,  therefore 4.25 x108mg=0.459g
density  is  therefore= 0.459g/250000=1.836 x10^-6g/ml
