Get Expert Chemistry Homework Help | Calculate Moles of CO2 from Octane

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the moles of CO2 produced from 40 moles of octane, one must first write the balanced combustion reaction of octane with oxygen. The balanced equation shows that each mole of octane produces eight moles of CO2 due to its eight carbon atoms. Therefore, burning 40 moles of octane results in 320 moles of CO2. Understanding the stoichiometric relationship between octane and CO2 is crucial for accurate calculations. The solution emphasizes the importance of the balanced reaction in determining the product amounts.

how many moles of CO2 are produced from 40 moles of octane?

Homework Equations



You must find or know the formula for octane. Write a balanced reaction for the burning of octane. Your reactants are octane and oxygen.



The Attempt at a Solution



The ratio of CO2 to octane comes from your balanced reaction. This is used in determing the amount of CO2 product.
 
A intuitive solution is to find the number of moles of C in 40 moles of octane. Octane has 8 C in a molecule.

Considering that Co2 has one C that means that the end result is ... very clear.
 
I presume you mean when 40 moles of octane are completeley combusted;

Octane + Oxygen --> CO2 + Water

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
