An automobile gasoline tank holds 21 of gasoline. When the gasolineburns, 82 of oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide and water areproduced.What is the total combined mass of carbon dioxide and water that isproduced?
Gasoline is made up primarily of C8H18. Gasoline has a density of 6.1 lb/gal. Write and balance the combustion equation for gasoline. (Combustion of gasoline in the presence of oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.) How many pounds of CO2 are produced when my car burns 10 gallons of gasoline? (188 lbs)
A vehicle burns gasoline (density = 0.79 kg/liter) at a rate of 7.6 liters per hour. Although gasoline is a mixture of many chemicals, for simplicity assume it has the formula of octane, C8H18.
What is the required air flow rate in molar units (kmol/hr), in mass units (kg/hr) and in standard volume units (standard m3 /hr) for air fed in stoichiometric proportion?
Determine the flowrate (kmol/hr) and composition (mol fraction) of the exhaust gases if 25% excess air is fed with the gasoline. For purposes of this problem, only carbon dioxide and water (no carbon monoxide) is produced in the reaction and all of the gasoline is consumed.
