Carbon dioxide is a green house gas that is linked to global warming. It is released into the atmosphere through the combustion of octane (C8H18) in gasoline. Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of octane. (Use the lowest possible whole number coefficients. Omit states-of-matter from your answer.) Calculate the mass of octane needed to release 3.10 mol CO2.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
