How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?

egoroff_w [7]

Grams of oxygen are required to react with 13.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline is 45.5g

Octane is a hydrocarbon which burns in gasoline in presence of oxygen according to the given balanced chemical equation,

2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂------> 16CO₂ + 18H₂0

Molar mass of octane = 114.23g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 32g/mol

According to the stiochiometry of the balanced equation the mole ratio of Octane and Oxygen is 2:25

2 mole of octane needs 25 mole of oxygen

1 mole of octane needs 12.5 moleof oxygen

114.23g of octane needs 400g of oxygen

13g of octane needs 45.5g of oxygen

Mass of oxygen needed =45.5g

Hence, the Mass of oxygen needed is 45.5g for the combustion of octane in gasoline.

some inkjet printers produce picoliter-sized drops. how many water molecules are there in one picoliter of water? the density of

GrogVix [38]

3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 1pL = 1 x 10⁻¹²L

Density of water = 1.00g/mL = 1000g/L

Unknown:

Number of water molecules = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the mass of the water molecule in the inkjet.

Mass of water = density of water x volume of water

Then, the number of molecules can be determined using the expression below:

number of moles = $\frac{mass of water}{molar mass of water}$

Number of molecules = number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Solving:

Mass of water = 1 x 10⁻¹² x 1000 = 1 x 10⁻⁹g

Number of moles:

Molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{1 x 10^{-12} }{18}$ = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴moles

Number of molecules = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ x 6.02 x 10²³ = 33.7 x 10⁹

= 3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Based on these ideas, what are the pro's and con's for both Sexual Reproduction and Asexual reproduction?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years

Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years

Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.

Hope this helps you.

Is a bimolecular reaction necessarily second-order? Is a second-order reaction necessarily bimolecular? Answer, with explanation

Kruka [31]

A bimolecular reaction is always a second-order reaction, but a second-order reaction is not always a bimolecular reaction.

The most important thing to take note of is that molecularity of a reaction is a concept applicable to only elementary reactions, meaning non-complex. In a way, elementary reactions are basic and achieved in one step. Complex reactions involve intermediate steps before achieving the desired reaction.

Molecularity is equal to the sum of the coefficients of the reactants, so two reactants give a second-order bimolecular reaction. However, second-order reactions can involve more than two reactants especially in complex reactions.
