The combustion of octane, C8H18, proceeds according to the reaction, If 3.70 × 102 mol of octane combusts, what volume of carbon dioxide is produced at 19.0 °C and 0.995 atm?
2C8H18 + 25 O2 18H2O +16CO2
this ia the balanced reaction for combution of octane
2 mole of C8H18 give 16 mole of CO2
one mole octane give 8mole CO2
3.70102 =377.4 mole octane produce 377.48 =3019.2 mole CO2
according to avogadros law 1 nole gas occupy volume 22.414 L at STP
so 3019.2 mole gas occupy volume 3019.222.414 =67672.34 L volume at STP
hence at 190C &0.995 atm volume is given as follow
P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2
167672.34/273.15 =0.995V2/292.15
V2=67672.34292.15/273.150.995 =72743.26
volume occupy by CO2 at 190C & 0.995 atm Pressure is 72743.26 liter
