A mixture of hydrocarbons contains 34.8% heptane, C7H16, 10.1% nonane, C9H20, and 55.1% octane, C8H18. The mixture is combusted in an excess of oxygen. What mass of CO2 is generated from the combustion of 17.0 kg of the mixture?
:

The branch of science which deals with chemicals is called chemistry.

The correct answer is 14.277 kg

The calculation part is as follows:-

Total mass-produced is

Hence, the correct answer is - 14.277kg.

Mass Heptane : 0.348 x 17 = 5.916 kg

mass C in Heptane (MW=100.21 g/mol) :

Mass Nonane : 0.101 x 17 = 1.717 kg

mass C in Nonane (MW=128.2 g/mol) :

Mass Octane : 0.551 x 17 = 9.367 kg

mass C in Otane (MW=114.23 g/mol) :

Total mass produced :

4.959+1.446+7.872=14.277 kg

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
