Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of 571.3 g of octane.

The answer to your question is 1795.5 grams of CO₂

Explanation:

Data

mass of carbon dioxide = ?

mass of Octane = 571.3 g

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction

         C₈H₁₆ + 12O₂   ⇒  8CO₂  +  8H₂O

2.- Calculate the molar mass of octane and carbon dioxide

Octane = (12 x 8) + (16 x 1) =96 + 16 = 112 g

Carbon dioxide = 8[ 12 + 2(16)] = 352 g

3.- Use proportions to find the mass of carbon dioxide

              112 g of Octane 352 g of carbon dioxide

              571.3 g of Octane  x

                    x = (571.3 x 352) / 112

                    x = 201097.6 / 112

                   x = 1795.5 grams of CO₂

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
