Concept Introduction:
The performance of an engine or fuel is measured in terms of octane number or octane rating. The processes that are used to increase the octane number of a fuel are known as catalytic cracking and catalytic reforming. Catalytic reforming converts the straight chain hydrocarbon into the branched hydrocarbon.

- A styrofoam cup was analyzed in a lab and found to contain 92% by mass carbon. How much carbon can be found in a stack of polystyrene cups with a total mass of 569 grams?arrow_forward2) Complete the following chemical equation. он + H20 HO.arrow_forwardHow many kilograms of CO2 are produced by the complete combustion of 3.8 kg of n-octane?arrow_forward
- 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 Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardConsider 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_forwardThis equation describes the production of tin(II) chloride: Sn(s) + 2HCl(g) ⟶ SnCl2(s) + H2(g)Is this a redox reaction?
