Write a balanced equation for the combustion of gaseous methane (CH4)(CH4), a majority component of natural gas, in which it combines with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
Aluminum and iodine are both ground into a fine powder and combined in a heatproof dish where
a highly exothermic reaction occurs to produce a white crystalline ionic compound. Write the
balanced chemical equation for this synthesis reaction.
Solving for a gaseous reactant
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as dodecane (C₁2H26) 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 dodecane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
11
2. Suppose 0.250 kg of dodecane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and
a temperature of 20.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is
produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

- Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardEthanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forwardYou take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward
