The atmosphere slowly oxidizes hydrocarbons in a number of steps that eventually convert the hydrocarbon into carbon di- oxide and water. The overall reaction of a number of such steps for methane gas is CHĄ(g) + 5 02(g) + 5 NO(g) CO(8) + H,O(g) + 5 NO-(g) + 2 OH(g) Suppose that an atmospheric chemist combines 155 ml of methane at STP, 885 mL of oxygen at STP, and 55.5 mL of NO at STP in a 2.0 L flask. The flask is allowed to stand for several weeks at 275 K. If the reaction reaches 90.0% of completion (90.0% of the limiting reactant is consumed), what is the partial pressure of each of the reactants and products in the flask at 275 K? What is the total pressure in the flask?

The combustion of fuel in your car engine requires oxygen gas, which is supplied as air (21% oxygen molecules) into the engine. Consider a car that is using 100% ethanol, C2H5OH, as fuel. If your engine intakes 2.71 L of air per minute at 1.00 atm and 25ºC, what is the maximum volume of ethanol (0.789 g/mL) that can be burned per minute? Hint: You can ignore the "per minute" information because both the ethanol and air are being quantified per minute. Enter the answer to three significant figures in units of mL.
