If exactly 4.089 moles of propanol (C3H8O) is combusted in the presence of excess oxygen what is the mass of O2 used in the reaction? The molecular weights of all reactants and products are: C3H8O: 60.09 g/mol O2: 31.998 g/mol H2O: 18.016 g/mol; CO2 : 44.01 g/mol. Enter your answer in the units of g, do not enter the unit itself.
Write the complete balanced equation for the combustion of octane (C8H18), which is one of the most important components in gasoline.
Among the substances that react with oxygen and that have been considered as potential rocket fuels are diborane [B2H6(g), which produces B2O3(s) and H2O(g)], methane [CH4(g), which produces CO2(g) and H2O(g)], and hydrazine [N2H4(l), which produces N2(g) and H2O(g)]. On the basis of the heat released by 2.46 kg of each substance in its reaction with oxygen, and assuming that thermal energy is the most desirable property in rocket designs, evaluate the possibility of each being used as a rocket fuel. (Hint: Use the Supplemental Data to compute ΔHorxn in kJ/mol, and qsurr in MJ for each fuel. Enter unrounded values.) diboraneΔHorxn kJ/molqsurr MJ methaneΔHorxn kJ/molqsurr MJ hydrazineΔHorxn kJ/molqsurr
One method used in the production of H2 gas is to put the coal into an incomplete combustion reaction with air and water vapor in the combustion chamber (water gas production). A simplified reaction can be written as:2C + 1 H2O + a (O2+3.76N2) = 1C0 + 1CO2 + 1H2 + 3.76·a·N2 Here, 02+3.76N2 represents the amount of air and is multiplied by the coefficient "a".a) The value of the coefficient "a" for this reaction b) The amount of air to be used for 1 kg of pure carbon (C) (total amount of 02 and N2) (kg-air/kg-carbon) Hint: Consider how many kilograms 1 kmol "C" weighs.

Regarding the combustion of gasoline, 2C8H18 (l) + 25O2 (g) --> 16CO2 (g) + 18H2O (g) How could you reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas city (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11800 lb. of Jet A fuel. Jet A fuel is kerosene based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n = 6 to 16, so the Carbon:Hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight , how much CO2 (in kg) was released into the atmosphere? (assume the combustion of fuel was complete, so all fuel was converted into H2O and CO2).
17.The complete combustion of 9.25 g of a compound of molar massM= 74g- mol" containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen yielded 11.20 dm of carbon(IV) oxide measured under normal conditions and 11.25 g of water. Determine, with appropriate calculations, the actual formula of this compound.
Mercury is an environmental pollutant because it can be converted by certain bacteria into the very poisonous substance dimethyl mercury, (CH3)2Hg. This compound ends up in the food chain and accumulates in the tissues of aquatic organisms, particularly fish, which renders them unsafe to eat. It is estimated that in the United States, 241 tons of mercury are released into the atmosphere each year. If only 1.9 percent of this mercury is eventually changed to (CH3)2Hg, how many pounds of this compound are formed annually?
4. A common experiment at Science Fairs is the demonstration of a volcano using a mixture of baking soda, NaHCO3(s), and vinegar, CH₂COOH(aq), with the reaction: NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(aq)- CO2(g) + H₂O(l) + Nat(aq) + CH3COO(aq) where the heavier CO2 gas displaces the liquid mixture to the top of the container to simulate lava overflowing. If the volume of the reaction vessel is 0.500 L and the pressure is 0.997 atm and 298 K. given 50.5 ml of 0.351 M CH3COOH() in water, what mass of NaHCO3(s) is required to fill the bottle with CO2 gas?
