Question

Gasoline is combusted in a standard engine as shown in the diagram and reaction above . Calculate the theoretical yield of CO2 from completely burning 10.0 g of gasoline (C8H18)

Answer 1

30.8 g of CO2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using malar masses of gasoline and carbon dioxide:

2 * (12*8 + 1*18) g gas yields 16(12 + 2*16) g of CO2

228........................................... 704 g CO2

1g ................................................ 704/228

10g .................................................... (704*10)/228 = 30.8 g.
