Octane, the main component of gasoline, burns according to the following reaction. 2 C3H18 + 25 O2 ---> 16 CO2 +18 H2O If an average car can hold about 35 kg of gasoline (assume all of it is octane), calculate the volume of carbon dioxide that is released to the atmosphere after burning through a full tank of gasoline, given a temperature of 15°C and an atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm.

Raoul Pictet, the Swiss physicist who first liquefied oxygen, attempted to liquefy hydrogen. He heated potassium formate, KCHO2, with KOH in a closed 2.50-Lvessel. KCHO2(s)+KOH(s)K2CO3(s)+H2(g) If 75.0 g of potassium formate reacts in a 2.50-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of hydrogen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.
Liquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.
The hydrocarbon octane (C8H18) bums to give CO2 and water vapor: 2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g) If a 0.048-g sample of octane burns completely in O2, what will be the pressure of water vapor in a 4.75-L flask at 30.0 C? If the O2 gas needed for complete combustion was contained in a 4.75-L flask at 22 C, what would its pressure be?
Potassium peroxide is used to absorb the CO2 produced by the people in a space vehicle. 2K2O2(s)+2CO2(g)2K2CO3(s)+O2(g)If a person at rest exhales 3.0 L of air per minute and CO2 is 3.4% (by volume) of exhaled air, how many grams of K2O2 are needed per person for a five-day trip. Assume a temperature of 250 and 728 mm Hg pressure.
88 Liquid oxygen for use as a rocket fuel can be produced by cooling dry air to 183°C, where the O2 condenses. How many liters of dry air at 25°C and 750 torr would need to be processed to produce 150 L of liquid O2 at 183°C? (The mole fraction of oxygen in dry air is 0.21, and the density of liquid oxygen is 1.14g/mL.)
You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.
