A certain mixture of gasoline obtained from a petroleum refinery plant was found to contain only isooctane (C3H18; FM = 114.22), methyl tert-butyl ether (CSH12O; FM = 88.15), and tetraethyl lead (C8H20PB; FM = 323.4), a gasoline preservative. Upon complete combustion of 0.4582 g sample, it was found out that the mass of the CO2 (FM = 44.01) absorbent increases by 1.0702 g, while the mass of residue PbO (FM = 223.2) was determined to be 0.0964 g. From this data, calculate the following: a. % (w/w) C3H18 b. % (w/w) CSH12O

Freon-12, CCl2F2, is prepared from CCl4 by reaction with HF. The other product of this reaction is HCl. Outline the steps needed to determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g of CCl2F2 from 32.9 g of Cd4. Freon-12 has been banned and is no longer used as a refrigerant because it catalyzes the decomposition of ozone and has a very long lifetime in the atmosphere. Determine the percent yield.
When potassium chlorate is subjected to high temperatures, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen. (a) Write a balanced equation for the decomposition. (b) In this decomposition, the actual yield is 83.2%. If 198.5 g of oxygen are produced, how much potassium chlorate decomposed?
A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of use only integer coefficients c Calculate the minimum mass (in kg) of air required to completely combust 1700 kg of C11H7S. d Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion. e Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion.
3.50 A test of an automobile engine's exhaust revealed that g of NO2 was emitted in 10 minutes of operation. How many moles of NO2 would this engine release if it were used for a 45-minute commute, assuming that this mea- sured number is representative of the emission under all circumstances?
About 5 billion kilograms of benzene, C6H6, are made each year. Benzene is used as a starting material for many other compounds and as a solvent (although it is also a carcinogen, and its use is restricted). One compound that can be made from benzene is cyclohexane, C6H12. C6H6() + 3 H2(g) C6H12() rH = 206.7 kJ/mol-rxn; rS = 361.5 J/K mol-rxn Is this reaction predicted to be product-favored at equilibrium at 25 C? Is the reaction enthalpy- or entropy-driven?

Sulfur can be recovered from the hydrogen sulfide removed from crude oil deposits, a process known as sweetening, by roasting in air and using the sulfur dioxide initially formed to push the reaction to the final product: H2S(g) + O2(g) --> H2O(g) + SO2(g) H2S(g) + SO2(g) --> H2O(g) + S(s) The maximum number of kilograms of sulfur that can be isolated per kilogram of hydrogen sulfide entering the process is __________.

It is produced by heating fossil fuels under low-oxygen conditions to promote incomplete combustion.
