Answer:

15.71g

Explanation:

The combustion equation that applies to hydrocarbons is

CxHy + (x+y/4) O2 = xCO2 + (y/2) H2O

In the case of octane, C8H18:

C8H18 + ( 8 + 18/4 ) O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 50/4 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 25/2 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

2C8H18 + 25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18H2O (this is the balanced equation)

From this balanced reaction,

2 x 22.4 L of octane generates 16 [ 12 + (16 x 2)] of carbon dioxide

That means,

44.8 L of octane generates 704g of carbon dioxide

Thus, for 1L of octane, it produces 1 L x 704g/44.8 L = 15.71g of carbon dioxide

Consequently, 15.71g of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 1 L of octane.

An experimental drug, D, is known to decompose in the blood stream. Tripling the concentration of the drug increases the decompo
lions [1003]

Answer:

The rate law for the decomposition reaction is:

R=k[D]^2

The unit for the rate constant will be M^{-1}s^{-1}

Explanation:

D\rightarrow Product

The rate law can be expressed as:

R=k[D]^x..[1]

When the drug concentration is tripled, the decomposition rate rises by a factor of nine.

[D]'=3[D]

R'=9\times R

R'=k[D]'^x...[2]

[1] ÷ [2]

\frac{R}{R'}=\frac{k[D]^x}{k[D']^x}

\frac{R}{9R}=\frac{k[D]^x}{k[3D]^x}

9=3^x

Solving for x results in:

x = 2.

This indicates a second-order reaction.

The decomposition reaction's rate law is:

R=k[D]^2

The unit for the rate constant will be:

k=\frac{R}{[D]^2}=\frac{M/s}{(M)^2}=M^{-1}s^{-1}

The unit for the rate constant will be M^{-1}s^{-1}.

A laboratory analysis of an unknown sample yields 74.0% carbon, 7.4% hydrogen, 8.6% nitrogen, and 10.0% oxygen. What is the empi
Tems11 [854]
Assuming we have a 100g sample, the mass of each element is as follows:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Next, we calculate the moles of each by dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass:
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Now, we take the smallest value to determine the ratio:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula can be expressed as
C10H12NO

Why are salt and sugar both able to dissolve in water, even though the solutes have different types of chemical bonding?
castortr0y [927]

Response: Water is a polar substance, facilitating the dissolution of ionic compounds due to the principle that similar types mix.

Ionic interactions occur between salt and water

Sugar contains hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

[Hydrogen bond: this refers to the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like F, O, or N) and another highly electronegative atom (F, O, or N)]

Thus, due to the presence of hydrogen bonds, sugar dissolves in water.

Clarification: Water molecules are polar, exhibiting partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. This allows them to interact with ionic compounds such as salt (NaCl). These interactions occur through the partial charges on water, which attract opposite charges. When dissolved in water, NaCl dissociates into sodium and chloride ions; sodium ions are surrounded by negatively charged oxygen from water, while chloride ions are surrounded by positively charged hydrogens from water. As a result, salt dissolves in water.

Sugar, being a covalent compound, has bonds where electrons are shared unevenly, creating slight positive and negative charges. This characteristic allows sugar to interact with the polar ends of water, facilitating its dissolution. Therefore, it can be stated that sugar dissolves in water due to both substances being polar.

In summary, water is capable of dissolving most polar or ionic substances, as seen with sugar and salt.

Which change of state is shown in the model?
Alekssandra [992]

I think the state change illustrated in the diagram is deposition. 
Deposition is the transformation of gases into solids without transitioning through a liquid phase. It is the reverse process of sublimation.
A key distinction between gases and solids lies in the spacing of molecules; gases have large spaces between molecules, whereas solids have very minimal spacing, resulting in solids being more densely packed. This is illustrated in the diagram showing the transition from gases to solids.

In a car piston shown above, the pressure of the compressed gas (red) is 5.00 atm. If the area of the piston is 0.0760 m^2. What
Anarel [852]

Answer:

The force is 38503.5N.

Explanation:

From the problem, we determine:

P (pressure) = 5.00 atm.

Next, to find the force in Newtons (N), we must convert 5 atm into N/m², as shown:

1 atm equals 101325 N/m².

So, 5 atm equals 5 x 101325 = 506625 N/m².

A (the piston area) = 0.0760 m².

Pressure signifies force per unit area, mathematically represented as

P = F/A.

From this, we find F = P × A.

F = 506625 × 0.0760.

Therefore, F = 38503.5N.

Thus, the piston experiences a force of 38503.5N.
