Based on the information given, it should be noted that the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

<h3>What is an electron?</h3>

Electrons are simply the subatomic particles which orbit the nucleus of an atom.

The arrangement of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom is known as the electron configuration. This can be determined by using a periodic table.

It should be noted that carbon is the sixth element with a total of 6 electrons in the periodic table. Thus, the atomic number Z = 6.

In conclusion, the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  • 10.19 g CO₂
  • 4.69 g H₂O

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of Octane is:

  • C₈H₁₈ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

To calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O produced, we need to know the mass of octane combusted.

We calculate the mass of Octane from the given volume and density, using the following <em>conversion factors</em>:

  • 1 gallon = 3.785 L
  • 1 L = 1000 mL

Now we<u> convert 1.24 gallons to mL</u>:

  • 1.24 gallon * \frac{3.785L}{1gallon} *\frac{1000mL}{1L} = 4693.4 mL

We <u>calculate the mass of Octane</u>:

  • 4693.4 mL * 0.703 g/mL = 3.30 g Octane

Now we use the <em>stoichiometric ratios</em> and <em>molecular weights</em> to <u>calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O</u>:

  • CO₂ ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * \frac{8molCO_{2}}{1molOctane} * 44 g/mol =  10.19 g CO₂
  • H₂O ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * \frac{9molH_{2}O}{1molOctane} * 18 g/mol = 4.69 g H₂O

All moving parts produce friction. true or false
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Hey there! :D

To some extent, all moving parts produce friction. It can be very small or minimal, but all parts produce some form of friction. 

This is true. 

I hope this helps!
