- Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forwardHow many carbon monoxide molecules (CO) are needed to react with 8 hydrogen molecules (H2) to produce methyl alcohol molecules (CH3OH)?arrow_forward4.61 What is actually measured by the octane ratings of different grades of gasoline?arrow_forward
- 4.4 Automobile exhaust often contains traces of formaldehyde (CH2O), which is another possible product of incomplete combustion. Write a balanced equation for the formation of formaldehyde during the combustion of octane. (Water will also be formed as a product.)arrow_forward4.1 List at least two factors that make it difficult to describe the combustion of gasoline accurately. What assumption can be made to address these complications?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- (a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forward4.25 When octane is combusted with inadequate oxygen, carbon monoxide may form. If 100 g of octane is burned in 200 g of O2, are conditions conductive to forming carbon monoxide?arrow_forwardAcetone, (CH3)2CO, is an important industrial compound. Although its toxicity is relatively low, workers using it must be careful to avoid flames and sparks because this compound burns readily in air. Write the balanced equation for the combustion of acetone.arrow_forward
