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

How can you which molecule is positive and negative in a dipole-dipole relationship?
marysya [2.9K]
Dipole interactions are observed in covalent bonds. In ionic bonding, permanent transfer of electrons occurs and due to this dipole-dipole interactions are not observed. In covalent bonding, electron cloud is shared between 2 atoms. If this electron cloud is not shared equally between them, polarities are formed in a molecule. And hence we say that the molecule is polar. For a molecule to be polar, there should be electronegativity difference between them. Atom with greater electronegative attracts electron cloud more towards itself whereas atom with lesser electronegative attracts electron cloud less. But there is no permanent transfer of electrons. Due to this electronegativity differences, atom with more electronegative gains partial negative charge and atom with lesser electronegative value gains partial positive charge. The charge is partial because there is no complete transfer of electrons.

Give two different conditions under which long chain hydrocarbons may be cracked.​
sammy [17]
In thermal cracking, high temperatures (typically in the range of 450°C to 750°C) and pressures (up to about 70 atmospheres) are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Thermal cracking gives mixtures of products containing high proportions of hydrocarbons with double bonds - alkenes.

What is the molarity of na+ in a solution of nacl whose salinity is 5.6 if the solution has a density of 1.03 g/ml?
pantera1 [17]
Salinity has units of grams NaCl or salt per kilogram solution. We can use the density given and the molar mass of the salt to convert from salinity to molarity. We do as follows:

( 5.6 g / kg ) ( 1.03 kg / L ) ( 1 mol / 58.44 g ) = 0.0987 mol NaCl / L
