Assuming a car (with a 70-L) gas tank can hold approximately 50,000 (5.00 * 10^4) g of octane(C8H18) or 50,000 (5.00 * 10^4) g o

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

- From octane: $m_{CO_2}=1.54x10^5gCO_2$

- From ethanol: $m_{CO_2}=9.57x10^4gCO_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, for the combustion of octane, the following chemical reaction is carried out:

$C_8H_{18}+\frac{25}{2} O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+9H_2O$

Thus, the produced mass of carbon dioxide is:

$m_{CO_2}=5.00x10^4gC_8H_{18}*\frac{1molC_8H_{18}}{114gC_8H_{18}}*\frac{8molCO_2}{1molC_8H_{18}}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} \\\\m_{CO_2}=1.54x10^5gCO_2$

Now, for ethanol:

$C_2H_6O+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$m_{CO_2}=5.00x10^4gC_2H_6O*\frac{1molC_2H_6O}{46gC_2H_6O}*\frac{2molCO_2}{1molC_2H_6O}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2} \\\\m_{CO_2}=9.57x10^4gCO_2$

Best regards.

Copper has an atomic number of 29 and a mass number of 64. what would result if an uncharged copper atom lost two electrons?

nikklg [1K]

The atomic mass of an element is the number of times of an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. In simpler way, atomic mass is number of protons present in nucleus of an atom, which is a characteristic of an chemical element and is determines place of the element in the periodic table. Mass number is total number of protons and neutrons. If an uncharged atom looses electron from its outermost shell, it becomes cation, which is positively charged species. Atomic number and mass number do not change if electron goes out of an atom.

Uncharged copper after loosing two electrons is converted to $Cu^{2+}$ which can be represented as follows:
