Question

Transcribed Image Text:Coal power plants burn large amounts of coal, C(s), in an O₂(g) atmosphere to generate electricity. The chemical reaction
responsible for producing this energy is shown below:
C(s) +0₂(g) → CO₂ (g)
Determine the mass in grams of CO₂ produced when 1.13E2 metric tons of C(s) are completely burned in an O₂ atmosphere (1
metric ton = 10³ kg = 106 g). Don't include units in your answer

- Ethanol, C,H,O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C3H18, is 1.306×10³ kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 482 grams of 2-methylheptane ? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 482 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 482 grams of 2- methylheptane v more less the same amountarrow_forwardBased on the balance reaction between iron and oxygen, how many electrons are transferred when 27 g of iron react? balanced reaction: 4Fe(s)+3O2(g)⟶2Fe2O3(s)arrow_forwardYour lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with your sample of Epsom salts (MgSO₄・7H₂O). You want to make a standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample of a magnesium salt you have.
