Answer: 1.32

Explanation:

Given

85 gm of sulfur dioxide is present at STP

The molar mass of sulfur dioxide is $32+2\times 16=64\ g/mol$

The number of moles of sulfur dioxide is

$\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{85}{64}\\\\\Rightarrow n=1.32\ \text{mol}$

The heats of combustion of ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10) are 52 kJ/g and 49 kJ/g, respectively. We need to produce 1.000 x 10

LekaFEV [45]

Answer :

(1) The number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 19.23 g and 20.41 g respectively.

(2) The number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ are 0.641 moles and 0.352 moles respectively.

(3) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

(4) The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel is 1.28 mole and 1.41 mole respectively.

The fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Explanation :

Part 1 :

First we have to calculate the number of grams needed of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

As, 52 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_2H_6$ = $\frac{1000}{52}=19.23g$

and,

As, 49 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = 1 g

So, 1000 kJ energy required amount of $C_4H_{10}$ = $\frac{1000}{49}=20.41g$

Part 2 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of each fuel $(C_2H_6)\text{ and }(C_4H_{10})$ .

Molar mass of $C_2H_6$ = 30 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_4H_{10}$ = 58 g/mole

$\text{ Moles of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_2H_6}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_2H_6}=\frac{19.23g}{30g/mole}=0.641moles$

and,

$\text{ Moles of }C_4H_{10}=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_4H_{10}}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_4H_{10}}=\frac{20.41g}{58g/mole}=0.352moles$

Part 3 :

Now we have to write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuels.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_2H_6$ is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

and,

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of $C_4H_{10}$ is:

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

Part 4 :

Now we have to calculate the number of moles of $CO_2$ produced by burning each fuel to produce 1000 kJ.

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce 2 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.641 mole of $C_2H_6$ react to produce $0.641\times 2=1.28$ moles of $CO_2$

and,

$C_4H_{10}+\frac{13}{2}O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+5H_2O$

From this we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce 4 moles of $CO_2$

As, 0.352 mole of $C_4H_{10}$ react to produce $0.352\times 4=1.41$ moles of $CO_2$

So, the fuel that emitting least amount of $CO_2$ is $C_2H_6$

Calcium oxide (cao) can react with carbon dioxide (co2) in a synthesis reaction. Select the most likely products of this reactio

Triss [41]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is the reaction in which two compounds or atoms combine together to result in the formation of a single compound.

For example, $CaO + CO_{2} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}$

Thus, here CaO and $CO_{2}$ combine together to result in the formation of calcium carbonate compound. Therefore, it is a synthesis reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that the most likely products of Cao + co2 → CaCO3 reaction.
