The automobile fuel called E85 consists of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. E85 can be used in so-called flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs),

which can use gasoline, ethanol, or a mix as fuels. Assume that gasoline consists of a mixture of octanes (different isomers of C₈H₁₈), that the average heat of combustion of C₈H₁₈(l) is 5400 kJ/mol, and that gasoline has an average density of 0.70 g/mL. The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/mL.By using the information given, calculate the energy produced by combustion of 1.5 L of gasoline.Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

49,736.84 kJ

Explanation:

1 L of gasoline has 0.70 kg

1,5 L of gasoline has x kg

1 L - 0.70 kg

1.5 - x

x = 0.7 *1.5 = 1,05 kg

1 mol of gasoline has 114 g

y mol of gasoline has 1050 g

1 mol - 114 g

y - 1050 g

y = \frac{1050}{114} = 9.21 mol

1 mol of gasoline has a combustion heat of 5400 kJ

9.21 mol of gasoline has a combustion heat of z

z = 5400 * 9.21 = 49,736.84 kJ

Determine the mole fractions and partial pressures of CO2, CH4, and He in a sample of gas that contains 1.20 moles of CO2, 1.79
BARSIC [14]

Answer :  The mole fraction and partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179, 0.554 and 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of CH_4 = 1.79 mole

Moles of CO_2 = 1.20 mole

Moles of He = 3.71 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }CH_4}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{1.79}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.267

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{1.20}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.179

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{\text{Moles of }He}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{3.71}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.554

Thus, the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179 and 0.554 respectively.

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

According to the Raoult's law,

p_i=X_i\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas  = 5.78 atm

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_{CH_4}=X_{CH_4}\times p_T

p_{CH_4}=0.267\times 5.78atm=1.54atm

and,

p_{CO_2}=X_{CO_2}\times p_T

p_{CO_2}=0.179\times 5.78atm=1.03atm

and,

p_{He}=X_{He}\times p_T

p_{He}=0.554\times 5.78atm=3.20atm

Thus, the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

What is the pH of a solution which is 0.600 M in dimethylamine ((CH3)2NH) and 0.400 M in dimethylamine hydrochloride ((CH3)2NH2C
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

pH = 11.05

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A] / [HA⁺]

Where A in this case is weak base (dimethylamine) and conjugate acid (HA⁺) is dimethylamine hydrochloride.

As Ka= Kw / Kb = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7.4x10⁻⁴ = 1.35x10⁻¹¹ And pKa is -log Ka = <em>10.87 </em> pH of the solution is:

pH = 10.87 + log₁₀ [0.600] / [0.400]

<em>pH = 11.05</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Consider the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride gas in a closed cylinder with a movable pi
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

In this case, the system doesn't be affected by the pressure change. This means that nothing will happen

Explanation:

We can answer this question applying the Le Chatelier's Principle. It says that changes on pressure, volume or temperature of an equilibrium reaction will change the reaction direction until it returns to the equilibrium condition again.

The results of these changes can define as:

Changes on pressure: the reaction will move depending the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

Changes on temperature: The reaction will move depending on if it's endothermic or exothermic

Changes on volume: The reaction will move depending the limit reagent  and the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

In the exercise, they mention a change on pressure of the system at constant temperature (that means the temperature doesn't change). As Le Chatelier Principle's says, we must analyze what happens if the pressure increase or decrease. If pressure increase the reaction will move on the side that have less quantity of moles, otherwise, if the pressure decreases the reaction will move to the side that have more quantity of moles. In this case, we can see that both sides of the equation have the same number of moles (2 for the reactants and 2 for the products). So, in this case, we can conclude that, despite the change on pressure (increase or decrease), nothing will happen.
