Pentane is burnt to produce carbon dioxide 40% of which can be converted into carbon monoxide, how much Butane must be burnt to produce 176 grams of carbon monoxide?

Pentane is burnt to produce carbon dioxide 40% of which can be converted into carbon monoxide, how much Butane must be burnt to produce 176 grams of carbon monoxide? Correct Answer 36 grams

The balanced chemical reaction is C5H12 + 8O2 -> 5CO2 + 6H2O, Let the mass of pentane be x, => (x/72)*5*44*(40/100) = 176, => x = 36 grams.

A solid-oxide fuel cell is fed with carbon monoxide and reacts with air to produce CO2. This reaction will produce 2 electrons which are used to power an electric circuit external to the fuel cell. The reaction equation is shown below: 2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) ΔHr° = -565.96 kJ/mol This reaction does not occur for other types of fuel cells which use a catalyst, such as polymerelectrolyte membrane or phosphoric-acid fuel cells. The presence of carbon monoxide on the anode side of these types of fuel cells will cause catalyst poisoning, reducing the efficiency and voltage of the fuel cell. Determine the rate of enthalpy change for a carbon dioxide production rate of 208 mol/hr. The extent of the reaction occurring in the fuel cell can be obtained by the following equation: where:

Global warming is the rise in average surface temperature of the earth globally. P. It is caused by the greenhouse effect of increased level of greenhouse gases. Q. Deforestation also increases carbon dioxide emissions. R. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, CFCs, etc. S. The increasing use of fossil fuels is a major cause of carbon dioxide emission. 6. Carbon dioxide traps heat and causes the greenhouse effect.
In the carbonation of a soft drink, the total quantity of carbon dioxide required is the equivalent of 3 volumes of gas to one volume of water at 0⁰C and atmospheric pressure. Calculate (i) the mass fraction and (ii) the mole fraction of the CO2 in the drink, ignoring all components other than CO2 and water. Basis 1 m3 of water = 1000 kg Volume of carbon dioxide added = 3 m3 From the gas equation, pV = nRT 1 x 3 = n x 0.08206 x 273 n = 0.134 mole. Molecular weight of carbon dioxide = 44 And so weight of carbon dioxide added = 0.134 x 44 = 5.9 kg
