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

Their average speed during the trip is 53 km/ hr approximately

Explanation: The family traveled 80 km/hr for an hour and then trabeled 40 km/ hr for 2 hours. So they traveled 80 km in one hour then 80 km in the next 2 hours. Total they traveled 160 km in 3 hours.
Average speed = distance traveled/ taken time
= 160/3 = 53.33
