- 4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forwardEthanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forwardA newspaper article states that biomass has actually been used as an energy source throughout human history. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Defend your answer.arrow_forward
- Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere weathers, or dissolves, limestone (CaCO3) by the reaction CaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)Ca2(aq)+2HCO3(aq) Obtain H for this reaction. See Table 6.2 for the data.arrow_forward4.72 The picture shown depicts the species present at the start of a combustion reaction between methane, CH4 and oxygen, O2 (a) What is the limiting reactant? (b) Draw the resulting state after this set of reactants has reacted as far as possible.arrow_forwardFreon-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.arrow_forward
- 4.8 In an experiment carried out at very low pressure, 13x1015 molecules of H2 are reacted with acetylene, C2H2, to form ethane, C2H6, on the surface of a catalyst. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?arrow_forward3.81 The particulate scale drawing shown depicts the products of a reaction between H2 and O2 molecules. (a) Draw a similar representation for the reactants that must have been present before the reaction took place. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, using the smallest possible whole number coefficients.arrow_forwardConsider the unbalanced equation for the combustion of propane: :math>C3H8(g)+O2(g)CO2(g)+H2O(g) rst, balance the equation. Then, for a given amount of propane, write the mole ratios that would enable you to calculate the number of moles of each product as well as the number of moles of O2that would be involved in a complete reaction. Finally, show how these mole ratios would be applied if 0.55 mole of propane is combusted.arrow_forward
- Acetone, (CH3)2CO, is an important industrial compound. Although its toxicity is relatively low, workers using it must be careful to avoid flames and sparks because this compound burns readily in air. Write the balanced equation for the combustion of acetone.arrow_forward3.84 The picture shown depicts the species present at the start of a combustion reaction between methane, CH4, and oxygen, O2. (a) Draw the resulting state after this set of re- actants has reacted as far as possible.
