A bomb calorimeter, or a constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. In an experiment, a 0.3833 g sample of phenanthrene (C14H10) is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter is surrounded by 1.284×103 g of water. During the combustion the temperature increases from 22.04 to 24.54 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-1°C-1. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was...

1. Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO2. How many pounds of CO2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 190. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H2O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages...

Ethylene oxides is produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene: C2H4 (g)+ (1/2)O2---> C2H4O (g) An undesired competing reaction is the combustion of ethylene to CO2. The feed to a reactor contains 2 mol C2H4/mol O2. The conversion and yield in the reactor are respectively 25% and 0.70 mol C2H4O produced/mol C2H4 consumed. A multiple-unit process separates the reactor outlet stream component: C2H4 and O2 are recycled to the reactor, C2H4O is sold, and CO2 and H2O are discarded. The...

a) A mildly restored ‘Knight-Rider’ 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA powered by a 5.7 litre V8 can do a quarter mile S from rest in a time t of about 15 seconds. Using distance: S=a t2 /2 , force: F=ma and work: W=FS, calculate the amount of work (energy) in kJ required to do the standing quarter mile given that the mass (m) of this Trans Am is 3,500 pounds. Assume that the acceleration (a) is constant. (This is not...
