If 4.00 moles of gasoline are burned according to the chemical reaction below, what volume of oxygen at STP is needed for complete
combustion?
2C2H18(1) + 2502(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(g)

The volume of oxygen at STP is needed for complete given combustion is 1121.28 L.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

This shows that 2 moles of gasoline requires 25 moles of . Hence, moles of oxygen required to react with 4 moles of gasoline are calculated as follows.

At STP, the pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273.15 K. Therefore, using ideal gas equation the volume of oxygen is calculated.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that volume of oxygen at STP is needed for complete given combustion is 1121.28 L.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
