The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of hexane is: 2C6H14(l) 19O2(g) 12CO2(g) 14H2O(g) Hexane is a low-boiling point component of gasoline. Answer the question in Part 1 through Part 3, if the rate of reaction of C6H14 is 1.95 mol L-1s-1. The rate of reaction of C6H14 is the rate of disappearance of C6H14. What was the rate of formation of CO2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The rate of formation of CO₂ is 11,7 M/s

Explanation:

The rate in a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration over the change in time

For the reaction:

2C₆H₁₄(l) + 19O₂(g) → 12CO₂(g) + 14H₂O(g)

The rate of dissapearance of C₆H₁₄ is 1,95 M/s

As 2 moles of C₆H₁₄ produce 12 moles of CO₂, the rate of formation of CO₂ will be 12/2 times faster than rate of disappearance, thus, rate of  formation of CO₂ is:

1,95 M/s C₆H₁₄×[tex]\frac{12molCO_{2}}{2molC_{6}H_{14}}[/tex] = 11,7 M/s

I hope it helps!
