(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced chemical equation for the burning of octane in air has to be written.
(b)
Interpretation:
Volume of
Concept Introduction:
Volume can be calculated by the equation given below:
Where,
d is the density
m is the mass
V is the Volume
Number of moles can be determined using the given equation,
Here, n is the number. of moles
M is the Molar mass
m is the Mass
Ideal gas Equation:
Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.
Here,
n is the moles of gas
P is the Pressure
V is the Volume
T is the Temperature
R is the gas constant

- Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by reducing lime with carbon at high temperature. (The carbide is used in turn to make acetylene, an industrially important organic chemical.) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between copper(II) oxide and carbon monoxide to give copper metal and carbon dioxide. (b) the decomposition of one mole of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) to methane and oxygen gases.arrow_forward
- (a) The atomic weight of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1 and oxygen is 16, and the formula for the combustion of methane (CH4) is given by : CH4 + 2 O2 –→ CO2 + 2 H2O + energy A mole of methane releases 810 KJ of energy on burning. Calculate the weight of carbon dioxide produced by burning 5kg of methane. Identify an alternative gas for combustion that produces less carbon dioxide than methane and state how it is generated.arrow_forwardAt 1.00 atm and 0 °C, a 5.04 L mixture of methane (CH) and propane (C₂H₂) was burned, producing 16.5 g CO₂. What was the mole fraction of each gas in the mixture? Assume complete combustion.

- Effervescent tablets contain both citric acid (C6H8O7) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and release carbon dioxide gas when dissolved in water as well as forming trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) and water. A typical effervescent tablet contains 1.00 g of citric acid and 1.92 g sodium bicarbonate.
