- Butane gas, C4H10, is sold to campers as bottled fuel. Its density at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.38 g/L. What volume of butane gas at 25C and 1.00 atm is required to heat one gallon of water (d=1.00g/mL) from 25C to 98C ? The reaction for the combustion of butane (H f =125.6kJ/mol) is C4H10(g)+132 O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(g)arrow_forwardWhen two cotton plugs. one moistened with ammonia and the other with hydrochloric acid, are simultaneously inserted into opposite ends of a glass tube that is 87.0 cm long, a white 1111g of NH4Cl forms where gaseous NH3 and gaseous HC1 first come into contact. NH3(g)+HCl(g)NH4Cl(s) At approximately what distance from the ammonia moistened plug does this occur? (Hint: Calculate the rates of diffusion for both NH3 and HCI, and find out how much faster NH3 diffuses than HCI.)arrow_forwardCalculate H when a 38-g sample of glucose, C6H12O6(s), burns in excess O2(g) to form CO2(g) and H2O() in a reaction at constant pressure and 298.15 K.arrow_forward
- Oxygen gas can be generated by heating potassium chlorate: heat 2KCIO, (s) 2KCI(s) + 30, (g) What volume of oxygen gas, collected by displacement of water and measured at 750.1 torr and 80.0 °C (vapor pressure of water 80.0 °C -355.63 torr), will be formed by the decomposition of 19.3 g of potassium chlorate? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. Note: Reference the Conversion factors for non-SI units and Fundamental constants tables for additional information. L D-P X Sarrow_forwardConsider the reaction: NO2(g) + CO(g) -->NO(g) + CO2(g). Could you follow the progress of this reaction by monitoring the pressure of the gas in the container in which it was occurring?arrow_forwardThe atmosphere slowly oxidizes hydrocarbons in a number of steps that eventually convert the hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water. The overall reaction of a number of such steps for methane gas is:CH4(g) + 5 O2(g) + 5 NO(g) ------> CO2(g) + H2O(g) + 5 NO2(g) + 2 OH(g) Suppose that an atmospheric chemist combines 155 mL of methane at STP, 885 mL of oxygen at STP, and 55.5 mL of NO at STP in a 2.0-L flask. The flask stands for several weeks at 275 K. If the reaction reaches 90.0% of completion (90.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what is the partial pressure of each of the reactants and products in the flask at 275 K? What is the total pressure in the flask?arrow_forward
- Propane (C3H8) is sold in metal cylinders for use in portable camp stoves. The complete combustion of propane in air can be described by the following equation: C3H8(g)+5O2(g)-->3CO2(g)+4H2O(g). Using the ideal gas law estimate the volume (in liters) of air (at 20 degrees Celsius and 0.92 atm) required for combustion of 1.36 moles of propane assuming air is 20.0% (by volume) O2arrow_forwardCyclopentene, C5H8, is a colorless liquid at room temperature that is used in the synthesis of plastics. When heated well above its boiling point, this compound decomposes to hydrogen gas and cyclopentadiene. C5H8(g)⟶C5H6(g)+H2(g) In three separate experiments, a sample of cyclopentene in a sealed vessel was heated to 825 K, and the initial pressure of cyclopentene (?=0 s) and final total pressure in the vessel (?=300 s) were recorded.
