Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16. sulfur will form chemical bonds in a similar manner as __________. sulfur has an atomic numbe
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:- Oxygen

Explanations:- Elements of same group(family) forms the bonds in almost similar manner. Oxygen and sulfur are the elements of same group and have equal number of valence electrons. So, they form chemical bonds in similar manner as each one needs two more electrons to complete it's octet.

Hydrogen has one valence electron and so it forms only a one single bond.

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and it needs three more electrons to complete it's octet and for this it forms three single bonds or one single and one double bond.

Carbon has 4 valence electrons and needs 4 more electrons to complete it's octet. The number of bonds are different for hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon as compared to sulfur.

So, the only and only correct choice is oxygen.

what is the heat of a reaction, in joules, with a total reaction mixture volume of 67.9 ml if the reaction causes a temperature
Ahat [919]

The heat of reaction is  1.8 KJ. A calorimeter is a device used in calorimetry, a procedure for calculating heat capacity and measuring the heat of chemical processes or other physical changes.

<h3>How to calculate calorimeter?</h3>
  • A calorimeter is a device used in calorimetry, a procedure for calculating heat capacity and measuring the heat of chemical processes or other physical changes.
  • Among the most popular kinds are differential scanning calorimeters, isothermal micro calorimeters, titration calorimeters, and accelerated rate calorimeters.
  • Calorimeter, a tool for estimating a material's heat capacity and measuring the heat produced during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction. bomb thermometer.

Volume of water = 67.9 mL

Since the density of water is 1.00 g/mL

Density = mass/volume

Mass of water = Density × volume

Mass of water =  1 g/mL × 67.9 mL

Mass of water = 67.9g or 0.0679 Kg

Temperature change =  6.5 oC

Specific heat capacity of water= 4.184 J/Kg

From;

H = mcθ

m = mass of water

c = heat capacity of water

θ = temperature rise

Substituting values;

H = 0.0679 Kg × 4.184 J/Kg × 6.5 oC

H = 1.8 KJ

Which statement about Mesosaurus fossils and continental drift is MOST accurate?
Naddik [55]

The Mesosaurus could not swim between the continents in the open ocean, so the fossils  show that the continents must have been together in the past.

Explanation:

One critical point in the use of Mesosaurus to explain continental drift is that they could not swim between the continents in open ocean.

Mesosaurus is known as middle lizard and its fossils have been used to proof that continental drifts truly result. Alfred Wegener is credited with the hypothesis of continental drift in which the land masses where once joined together.

  • The fossils of this ancient organism have been discovered in the Southern part of Africa and Eastern part of South America.
  • Both continents were once believed to be joined together in geologic time past.
  • Mesosaurus was a swamp dwelling animal that could not have swim between the two continents. The ocean will pose a barrier. For its fossils to be found on the two continents, the land masses must have been joined together.
