Combustion of hydrocarbons such as octane (C_8H_18) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid octane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.330 kg of octane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 10.0 ?C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

What is the volume of the fluid in the graduated cylinder with accuracy and measured to the correct degree of precision? 41.2 ml 42.0 ml 41.23 ml 41.89 ml

These questions are based on the attached photo. the experiment is about burning magnesium metal with oxygen. 1. write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction you are performing. 2. calculate the mass of magnesium metal used in each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 3. calculate the actual yield of magnesium oxide for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 4. magnesium is the limiting reactant in this experiment. calculate the theoretical yield of mgo for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 5. determine the percent yield of mgo for your experiment for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 6. determine the average percent yield of mgo for the two trials. your company currently uses a process with a similar cost of materials that has an average percent yield of 91 percent. if the average percent yield of this process is higher than that, this could save the company money. what is your recommendation to the company? support your recommendation using your data, calculations, and understanding of stoichiometry gathered from this lab.
