Accepted Answer

$$CH_4(g) + 2$$\ $$O_2(g$$) \rightarrow $$CO_2(g) + 2$$\ H_2O(g)\ \Delta H_{rxn} = -802.3\ kJ$$

Question 10

If 11.8 $$	imes$$ $$10^3 g of $$propane ($$C_3H_8) is $$completely combusted, how much heat (in kJ) is released? (Molar mass $$C_3H_8 = 44.11 g/$$mol, $$\Delta H_{rxn} = -2044 kJ/$$mol)

Accepted Answer

$$547,000\ kJ$$

Question 11

Which of the following is a real-world consequence of incomplete combustion of octane in automobile engines?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

What is the main reason ethanol is now used as a substitute for MTBE in gasoline?

Accepted Answer

Ethanol is biodegradable and does not contaminate drinking water.

Question 13

In the reaction $$Cu_2O(s) + C(s) \rightarrow 2\ Cu(s) + CO(g)$$, if you start with 11.5 g $$Cu_2O ($$molar mass = 143.10 g/mol) and 114.5 g $$C ($$molar mass = 12.01 g/mol), which is the limiting reactant?

Accepted Answer

$$Cu_2O$$

Question 14
