Defend your answer.arrow_forwardCalculate the amount of carbon dioxide (in kg) emitted into the atmosphere by the complete combustion of a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline. Do this by following these steps: Assume that gasoline is composed of octane (C8H18). Write a balanced equation for the combustion of octane. Determine the number of moles of octane contained in a 15.0 gallon tank of gasoline (1 gallon = 3.78 L). Octane has a density of 0.79 g/mL. Use the balanced equation to convert from moles of octane to moles of carbon dioxide, then convert to grams of carbon dioxide, and Finally to kg of carbon dioxide.arrow_forward• describe the chemical processes used in biomass production and conversion to biofuels.arrow_forward

NITROGEN MOLECULES It is difficult to think that some good things come from the powerful bust of electrical energy. During thunderstorms, the nitrogen and oxygen from the air react to form oxides of nitrogen. These oxides dissolve in the rain and are absorbed by the soil, fertilized with nitrogen. According to studies, more than 50% of usable nitrogen is generated from the atmosphere in this process. Explain the process that happens to nitrogen and oxygen during a thunderstorm in terms of chemical bonding. What is the benefit of this bond? (P) 3. ALLOYS Metal alloys are created through metallic bonding. Two examples of alloys are brass (zinc and copper) and steel (carbon and iron). Metallic bonding is utilized for its conductive properties to help transfer electricity throughout a house via copper wiring.
