93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)
The compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?
While resting, the average 70-kg human male consumes 14 L of pure O2 per hour at 25 C and 100 kPa. How many moles of 02 are consumed by a 70 kg man while resting for 1.0 h?
A mixture of chromium and zinc weighing 0.362 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. After all the metals in the mixture reacted, 225 mL dry of hydrogen gas was collected at 27C and 750. torr. Determine the mass percent of Zn in the metal sample. [Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas; chromium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chromium(III) chloride and hydrogen gas.]
Put the following in order of increasing pressure: 363 mm Hg, 363 kPa, 0.256 atm, and 0.523 bar.
5-54 Automobile air bags are inflated by nitrogen gas. When a significant collision occurs, an electronic sensor triggers the decomposition of sodium azide to form nitrogen gas and sodium metal. The nitrogen gas then inflates nylon bags, which protect the driver and front-seat passenger from impact with the dashboard and windshield. What volume of nitrogen gas measured at 1 atm and 27°C is formed by the decomposition of 100. g of sodium azide?
What is the value of FP for a sample of gas whose temperature is -33.0 C and volume is 0.0250 L? What temperature is required to change the volume to 66.9 cm3?
5-118 Isooctane, which has a chemical formula C8H18 is the component of gasoline from which the term octane rating derives. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of isooctane. (b) The density of isooctane is 0.792 g/mL. How many kg of C02 are produced each year by the annual U.S. gasoline consumption of L? (c) What is the volume in liters of this CO2 at STP? (d) The chemical formula for isooctane can be represented by (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2. Draw a Lewis structure of isooctane. (e) Another molecule with the same molecular formula is octane, which can be represented by: When comparing isooctane and octane, one structure is observed to have a boiling point of 99°C, while another is known to have a boiling point Of 125°C. Which substance, isooctane or octane, is expected to have the higher boiling point? (f) Determine whether isooctane or octane is expected to have the greater vapor pressure.
5-107 If 60.0 g of NH3 occupies 35.1 L under a pressure of 77.2 in. Hg, what is the temperature of the gas, in °C?
Calculate the molar volume of ethane at 1.00 atm and 0C and at 10.0 atm and 0C, using the van der Waals equation. The van der Waals constants are given in Table 5.7. To simplify, note that the term n2a/V2 is small compared with P. Hence, it may be approximated with negligible error by substituting nRT/P from the ideal gas law for V in this term. Then the van der Waals equation can be solved for the volume. Compare the results with the values predicted by the ideal gas law.
