- Write a balanced chemical reaction for the incomplete combustion of pentane, C5H12C5H12 in oxygen gas to form carbon monoxide gas as one of the products.arrow_forwardPropane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel.(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas.(b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint:use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of O2 per liter.)(c) The heat of combustion of propane is −2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, ΔH°f of propane given that ΔH°f of H2O(l) = −285.8 kJ/mol and ΔH°f of CO2(g) = −393.5 kJ/mol. (d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.arrow_forwardPolychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are chemicals formed by attaching one or more chlorine atoms to a pair of connected benzene rings. (a) Summarise the adverse health effects associated with exposure to PCBs. (b) With a suitable illustration, explain the action of PCBs toxicity.arrow_forward
- Consider the hydrotreating of this organic substance:H2NCH2CSCH2COOH +___ H2(g) → (a) Complete a balanced chemical equation to producethe most common hydrogen compounds of N, S, andO and a saturated hydrocarbon.(b) Why is more hydrotreating needed after coking thanafter hydrocracking?arrow_forward2) Define the following terms in a few sentences, make drawings if necessary. Thermoplastics: Thermosets: Copolymer: Stereoisomerism: Spherulite:arrow_forwardWhat are the products of complete combustion of hydrocarbon? Write a balanced aquation for the complete combustion of cyclohexene.arrow_forward
- What are the products formed when the hydrocarbon pentane (C5H12) undergoes complete combustion?arrow_forwardThe functional group of butanone is:(a) Carboxyl(b) ketonic(c) aldehydic(d) alcoholicarrow_forwardWhen 13.0 g of acetylene, C2H2, undergoes complete combustion, 65.5 kJ of heat are released. a) How much energy is released when one mole of acetylene is burned? b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction and include the heat value in the equation.arrow_forward
- What steps will you take to prevent or reduce • Instability of petroleum products • Incompatibility during petroleum conversion processesarrow_forwardEthanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, releases 1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2- methylheptane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405 grams of 2-methylheptane? more less the same amount Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardWhat were the rules set for emissions of Benzene according to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESMAPs)?arrow_forward
