Question

An automobile gasoline tank holds 47 kg of gasoline. When the gasoline burns, 165 kg of oxygen are consumed and carbon dioxide and water are produced?

Answer 1

And is there a question here?

Explanation:

We could represent the combustion of hexanes in this manner:

`C_6H_14(l)+ 19/2O_2(g)rarr6CO_2(g) + 7H_2O(l) +Delta`

Not all the hexanes may be completely combusted and we would expect significant quantities of `CO` and `C`, the products of incomplete combustion.

Here we gots `(47xx10^3*g)/(86.18*g*mol^-1)=545.4*mol`.

And, given complete combustion, we would expect `545.4*molxx6xx44.01*g*mol^-1=144*kg` with respect to carbon dioxide...
