Answer:

V = 8963 L

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to realize this problem involves stoichiometric calculation based on the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of octane:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

From the density of octane we can obtain the number of moles:

D = m/V ⇒ m= D x V = 0.7025 g/mL x ( 1000 mL) = 702.5 g

MW octane  = 702.5 g/ 114.23 g/mol = 6.15 mol

Required  mol oxygen to react with octane:

6.15 mol octane x  25/2 mol O₂ / mol octane = 76.8 mol O₂

Now mol fraction is given by mol O₂ / total number mol air ⇒

n air = 76.8 mol O₂ / (0.2095 mol O₂ / mol air )  = 366.59 mol air

and from the ideal gas law we can compute the volume of air:

PV = nRT  ⇒ V = nRT/P

V = 366.59 mol air x 0.08205 Latm/Kmol x (25+ 273) K/ 1 atm

   = 8,963 Lts

Note we treat here  air as a compund which is allowed in combustion problems.

Take a paperclip into water and then slowly pull it upward to the point where it is nearly free from the surface. You'll find th
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Adhesive forces and cohesive forces

Explanation:

Cohesive forces is how much the water molecules stick to each other and adhesive forces are to which extinct they stick to other surfaces.

When we pull the paperclip upward the water molecules adhere to it due to adhesive forces. While the water on the clip is remain connected to water in the glass because of cohesive forces.

So if the adhesive forces dominates the water will be pulled out and if the cohesive forces dominate it will remain with other water in the cup.

A particular reactant decomposes with a half‑life of 109 s when its initial concentration is 0.280 M. The same reactant decompos
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The order of reaction is 2.

Rate constant is 0.0328 (M s)⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is inversely proportional to the time taken for the reaction.

As we are decreasing the concentration of the reactant the half life is increasing.

a) For zero order reaction: the half life is directly proportional to initial concentration of reactant

b) for first order reaction: the half life is independent of the initial concentration.

c) higher order reaction: The relation between half life and rate of reaction is:

Rate = \frac{1}{k[A_{0}]^{(n-1)}}

Half life =K\frac{1}{[A_{0}]^{(n-1)} }

\frac{(halflife_{1})}{(halflife_{2})}=\frac{[A_{2}]^{(n-1)}}{[A_{1}]^{(n-1)} }

where n = order of reaction

Putting values

\frac{109}{231}=\frac{[0.132]^{(n-1)}}{[0.280]^{(n-1)}}

0.472=(0.472)^{(n-1)}

Hence n = 2

halflife=\frac{1}{k[A_{0}]}

Putting values

231=\frac{1}{K(0.132)}

K = 0.0328
