The reaction of ethanol with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water. (This is the reaction in a flambéed dessert or when an alcoholic beverage is ignited.)
C2H6O + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Consider the reaction for the production of NO₂ from NO:
2 NO(g) + O₂ (g) → 2 NO₂ (g)
Ethanol, C₂H6 O, 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 octane,
C8 H18, releases
1.308 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 460. grams of octane?
kcal
Assuming the same efficiency, would 460. grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 460.
grams of octane?

- Ethanol, 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_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required.
