Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is a chemical division that evaluates the quantitative content of the chemical process with the help of the reacting molecules or products taking part in the reaction. The term “stoicheion” in “Stoichiometry”, is an old Greek term for "element" whereas “metron” means "measure".

You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1 volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y 2 volumes compound I 2 volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y 2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.

Combustion of hydrocarbon such as heptane produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases in the earths atmosphere can trap the suns 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. A. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid heptane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. B. Suppose 0.260kg of heptane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 18°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide that is produced in liters. Round your answer to three significant digits.
