Answer:

127529 KJ

Explanation:

Since 1gallon = 3.78 L= 3780 ml

The density of C8H18= 0.703 g/mL

Density = mass/volume

Mass= Density × volume

Mass= 0.703 g/mL × 3780 ml

Mass= 2657.34 g

Molar mass of C8H18= 114 g/mol

Number of moles= mass/molar mass

Number of moles= 2657.34/114

Number of moles= 23.31 moles

Since 1 mole evolved=5471 kJ

23.31 moles = 5471 kJ × 23.31 = 127529 KJ

Artyom0805 [142]

This reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:

 2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>
We are given the amount of water for the electrolysis reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.

45.6 grams H2O (1 mol H2O / 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 1.27 mol O2

V = nRT/P = </span><span>1.27 mol O2 (0.08206 atm L / mol K) (301 K) / 1.24 atm
V = 25.20 L O2</span>

Which series of atomic numbers represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table?
statuscvo [17]

Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.

In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.

First four elements present in the periodic table is:

He atomic number is one (1).

H atomic number is two (2).

Li atomic number is three (3).

Be atomic number is four (4).

Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...
