Chapter 6, Problem 6.152QP
It has been estimated that 3 trillion standard cubic feet of methane is released into the atmosphere every year. Capturing that methane would provide a source of energy, and it would also remove a potent greenhouse gas from the atmosphere (methane is 25 times more effective at trapping heat than an equal number of molecules of carbon dioxide). Standard cubic feet is measured at 60°F and 1 atm. Determine the amount of energy that could be obtained by combustion of the methane that escapes each year.

What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forwardDry ice is solid carbon dioxide; it vaporizes at room temperature and normal pressures to the gas. Suppose you put 21.5 g of dry ice in a vessel fitted with a piston (similar to the one in Figure 6.9 but with the weight replaced by the atmosphere), and it vaporizes completely to the gas, pushing the piston upward until its pressure and temperature equal those of the surrounding atmosphere at 24.0C and 751 mmHg. Calculate the work done by the gas in expanding against the atmosphere. Neglect the volume of the solid carbon dioxide, which is very small in comparison to the volume of the gas phase.arrow_forward

A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.arrow_forward
