13. The quality of petrol as an engine

Chemistry
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Branched chain alkanes

Explanation:

By the process of cracking of petroleum, higher quality petrol are formed by converting straight chain petrol to branched petrol, which are the grade of petrol that burns more smoothly and therefore efficiently within internal combustion engines

The cracking process includes;

a) The conversion of alkanes which are large molecules into branched octanes

b) The conversion of alkanes with straight chain into branched chain alkanes

c) The formation of a branched chain alkane and an alkene from straight chain alkanes

d) The formation of branched chain alkane and hydrogen gas from a straight chain alkane.

Determine the correct set of coefficients to balance the chemical equation. __c6h6(l) + __o2(g)? __co2(g) + __h2o(g)
forsale [732]
To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product.  Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2.  Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O.  So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15.  O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²

Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant, Kc, is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of the products over the reactants. Also, each concentration of product of reactant is powered to its coefficient.

<em>Pure solids and liquids are not taken into account in an equilibrium</em>

Thus, for the reaction:

C(s)+ 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g)

Equilibrium constant is:

<h3>Kc = [CH₄] / [H₂]²</h3>

Now, using the formula:

Kp = Kc* (RT)^Δn

<em>Where R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is the temperature of the reaction and Δn is difference in coefficients of gas products - coefficients of gas reactants (1 - 2= -1)</em>

Replacing:

<h3>Kp = [CH₄] / [H₂]² * (0.082*T)^-1</h3>
