Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
The mass of octane in the sample of gasoline is 0.02851 * 482.6 = 13.759 g of octane.
The balanced equation is:
2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) ----> 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g)
From the equation, using atomic masses:
228.29 g of octane forms 704 g of CO2 and 324.3 g of H2O
So the mass of CO2 formed from the combustion of 13.759 g of octane = (704 * 13.759) / 228.29
= 42.43 g of CO2.
Amount of water = 324.3 * 13.759) / 228.29
= 19.55 g of H2O.
here we have to explain the development of the atomic theory by the atomic emission spectrum.
The most important aid in determining the structure of an atom has been study of radiation emitted and absorbed by the elements. The glowing atoms of an element emit radiations.
These are called the atomic spectra. This study helped to understand the structure of the atoms.
To explain the atomic spectra the Bohr's model was introduced. The postulates of the Bohr's model explain the fine spectrum of the atom up to the particle nature of the electrons.
Later some modification on the Bohr's postulates was made to explain the wave nature of the electrons as well. But the atomic spectra is best be understood by the Bohr's atomic model which developed the atomic theory.
Thus the understanding of emission spectrum of atom to develop the atomic theory is explained.
