- How many carbon monoxide molecules (CO) are needed to react with 8 hydrogen molecules (H2) to produce methyl alcohol molecules (CH3OH)?arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forward4.4 Automobile exhaust often contains traces of formaldehyde (CH2O), which is another possible product of incomplete combustion. Write a balanced equation for the formation of formaldehyde during the combustion of octane. (Water will also be formed as a product.)arrow_forward
- (a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forward4.1 List at least two factors that make it difficult to describe the combustion of gasoline accurately. What assumption can be made to address these complications?arrow_forward4.25 When octane is combusted with inadequate oxygen, carbon monoxide may form. If 100 g of octane is burned in 200 g of O2, are conditions conductive to forming carbon monoxide?arrow_forward
- Acetone, (CH3)2CO, is an important industrial compound. Although its toxicity is relatively low, workers using it must be careful to avoid flames and sparks because this compound burns readily in air. Write the balanced equation for the combustion of acetone.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. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardThe sugar sucrose, which is present in many fruits and vegetables, reacts in the presence of certain yeast enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. Balance the following equation for this reaction of sucrose. C12H22O11(aq) + H2O(l) C2H5OH(aq) + CO2(g)arrow_forward
- 3.88 One Step in the enrichment of uranium for use in nuclear power plants involves the reaction of UO2 with hydro- fluoric acid (HF) solution. The products are solid UF4 and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardYou take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forward
