Chapter 23, Problem 23.22QP
Catalytic cracking is an industrial process used to convert high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons to low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. A petroleum company has a huge supply of heating oil stored as straight-chain C17H36, and demand has picked up for shorter chain hydrocarbons to be used in formulating gasoline. The company uses catalytic cracking to create the shorter chains necessary for gasoline. If they produce two molecules in the cracking, and 1-octene is one of them, what is the formula of the other molecule produced? As part of your answer, draw the condensed structural formula of the 1-octene.

An impure sample of hydrocarbon having a total mass of 50.8g undergoes combustion analysis to generate 72.6g CO2 (g) and 14.8g H2O (g).
Assuming that the impurities do not contain carbon or hydrogen what percentage of the initial sample is the pure hydrocarbon?
Ethanol, 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

In the following reaction, ammonia (NH₃) is oxidized by oxygen (O₂) gas at high temperature (850 °C) over a platinum catalyst: 4 NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g) Provide the correct IUPAC name for NO.

Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to?

Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardCombustion requires three primary components: fuel, energy, and an oxidizer. The fuel is the organic starting material and once the activation energy is achieved, large amounts of energy are rapidly released fragmenting reactants into individual atoms. The components quickly rearrange into smaller and more stable molecules. Oxygen serves as an oxidizer, due to its electronegativity, accepting electrons and forming products including water and carbon dioxide. Nitroguanidine (CH4N4O2) is used in select fertilizers and more commonly as a component to propel munitions. Suppose a field artillery soldier was calculating how much nitroguanidine was needed to propel a round. The soldier would need to consider the desired volume of gas to displace along the gun tube and the ambient operating conditions. a. Predict the reaction products for the detonation of 1 mole of nitroguanidine. b. Calculate the amount of explosive needed (in pounds) to produce 1500.0 liters of gas at standard temperature…arrow_forward
