Question: In a car engine, gasoline (represented by C8H18) does not burn completely, and some CO, a toxic pollutant, forms along with CO2 and H2O. If 5.0% of the gasoline forms CO:

(a) What is the ratio of CO2 to CO molecules in the exhaust?

(b) What is the mass ratio of CO2 to CO?

(c) What percentage of the gasoline must form CO for the mass ratio of CO2 to CO to be exactly 1/1?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

  1. The ratio is 19.
  2. The mass ratio is 30.
  3. The percentage of gasoline 61.1%.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of ratio of CO2 to CO

The reaction for complete combustion of gasoline is,

2C8H18l+25O2g16CO2g+18H2Ol...............(1)

The reaction for incomplete combustion of gasoline is,

2C8H18l+17O2g16COg+18H2Ol...............(2)

Let us take 100.0 g solution in which 5.0 g of gasoline is present.

From equation (1) and (2) 2 moles of C8H18 produces 16 moles of CO2.

Molecules of CO2 are,

=95.0gb2-4ac1molC8H18114.22g16molCO22molC8H186.0221023molecules1molCO2\hfill=4.011024moleculesCO2

Molecules of CO are,

=5.0g1molC8H18114.22g16molCO2molC8H186.0221023molecules1molCO=2.111023moleculesCO

So, the ratio of CO2 to CO is,

=4.011024moleculesCO22.111023moleculesCO=19

Thus, the ratio is 19.

02

 Step 2: (b) Determination of mass ratio of CO2 to CO 

From equation (1) and (2) 2 moles of C8H18 produces 16 moles of CO2.

Mass of CO2 is,

=95.0g1molC8H18114.22g16molCO22molC8H1844.01gCO21molCO2=293gCO2

Molecules of CO are,

=5.0g1molC8H18114.22g16molCO2molC8H1844.01gCO21molCO2i=1nXiYi=9.81gCO

So, the mass ratio of CO2 to CO is,

=293gCO29.81gCO=30

Thus, the mass ratio is 30.

03

(c) Determination of percentage of gasoline 

Let the mass percent of gasoline convert into CO be x.

The ratio is,

MassofCO2:MassofCO1.0g:1.0g

Moles of the compounds are,

1.0gCO244.01g/mol:1.0gCO28.01g/mol0.02272mol:0.03571mol

Conversion of moles of CO2 and CO to the number of moles of gasoline

0.02272mol0.03571mol:0.03571mol0.03571mol0.636:1.0

Now, the overall moles are,

=1.0mol+0.636mol=1.636mol

The mass percentage of gasoline is,

=1molC8H18114.22g/mol1.636molC8H18114.22g/mol100=61.1%

Thus, the percentage of gasoline is 61.1%.

(2) Adding aqueous sodium hydroxide forms a blue precipitate.

(3) The precipitate is heated and turns black (water is released).

(4) The black solid dissolves in nitric acid to give a blue solution.

(5) Adding aqueous sodium phosphate forms a green precipitate.

(6) The precipitate forms a blue solution in sulfuric acid.

(7) Copper metal is recovered from the blue solution when zinc metal is added.
