Consider the equation for the combustion of acetone
(C3H6O), the main ingredient in nail polish remover:

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the equation for the combustion of acetone
(C;H,O), the main ingredient in nail polish remover:
CH,O(1) + 4 02(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 3 H,O(g)
AHn = -1790 kJ
If a bottle of nail polish remover contains 155 g of acetone,
how much heat is released by its complete combustion?

- What mass of carbon dioxide will be produced by the complete combustion of 4.88 g of propane (C3H8)?arrow_forwardCombustion of hydrocarbons such as hexane (C6H₁4) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid hexane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. 2. Suppose 0.220 kg of hexane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 17.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.
