Combustion of hydrocarbons such as nonane (C9H20) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid nonane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. 2. Suppose 0.210kg of nonane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1atm and a temperature of 15.0°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

349 L (To 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

The reaction equation is;

C9H20(l) + 14O2(g) > 9CO2(g) + 10H2O(g)

number of moles of nonane in 0.210 Kg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of nonane = 9(12) + 20(1) = 128 gmol-1

Hence number of moles = 0.210 * 10^3g/128 gmol-1 = 1.64 moles

If 1 mole of nonane produced 9 moles of CO2 from the balanced reaction equation;

1.64 moles of nonane will produce 1.64 * 9/1 = 14.76 moles of CO2

Now from the ideal gas equation;

PV=nRT

P = 1 atm

V= the unknown

n= 14.76

R = 0.082 atmLmol-1K-1

T = 15 + 273 = 288 K

V= nRT/P

V = 14.76 * 0.082 * 288/1

V = 348.57 L

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
