2. Describe the mechanism of hydrocarbon cracking
for production of hydrogen and write the reactions
that takes place during methane cracking for
hydrogen production.
4. Suppose that a large amount of forest land was cleared to provide
farmland. What effect would the clearing have on the carbon dioxide
level in the air? Explain your answer.
B. The incomplete combustion of octane (C3H18), a component of gasoline, produces carbes
monoxide (CO) and water vapor. Carbon monoxide combines readily with hemoglobin in the red
blood cells of humans and animals. This prevents red blood cells from carrying oxygen. Thus
carbon monoxide robs the tissues of the oxygen they need for survival. Write the equation for
the combustion of octane.

Since you are a chemistry student, you have decided to help them remember how to construct the formula. Your other roommate, who is a mathematics student, wants to create a hypothetical situation so that the history student can better understand the concept. She writes down a mass for fluorine gas and nitrogen gas. 1. If she wrote that the mass of nitrogen gas as 114.6 g and the mass of fluorine gas as 354.8 g which is the limiting reagent in this case? 2.
