Answer:

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the observation that main group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas

Cars run on gasoline, where octane (C8H18) is the principle component. This combustion reaction is responsible for generating en

Answer:

10.19 g CO₂

4.69 g H₂O

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of Octane is:

C₈H₁₈ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

To calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O produced, we need to know the mass of octane combusted.

We calculate the mass of Octane from the given volume and density, using the following conversion factors:

1 gallon = 3.785 L

1 L = 1000 mL

Now we convert 1.24 gallons to mL:

1.24 gallon * $\frac{3.785L}{1gallon} *\frac{1000mL}{1L} =$ 4693.4 mL

We calculate the mass of Octane:

4693.4 mL * 0.703 g/mL = 3.30 g Octane

Now we use the stoichiometric ratios and molecular weights to calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O:

CO₂ ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * $\frac{8molCO_{2}}{1molOctane}$ * 44 g/mol = 10.19 g CO₂

H₂O ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * $\frac{9molH_{2}O}{1molOctane}$ * 18 g/mol = 4.69 g H₂O
