Chloroform is a volatile (readily changes from liquid phase to gaseous phase) once commonly used in the laboratory but now being
phased out due to its ozone depletion potential. If the pressure of gaseous chloroform in a flask is 195 Torr at 25°C and its mass
for 1 liter of gas is 1.25 g, what is the molar mass (g/mol) of chloroform?
O None of these
O 119 g/mol
10.0 g/mol
O 76.3 g/mol
Hydrocarbons with 5 carbons (pentane) and 19 carbons (nonadecane) are liquids
at room temperature. The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane",
"nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image
below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest
hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can
see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for
larger hydrocarbons. Question: how many carbon dioxide molecules are formed
from combustion of one molecule of decane?
Methane
CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H2O
Propane
C3H3 +502 –
→ 3CO2+4H2O
C10 H22 + 15.502
10CO2 + 11H20
Decane

Determine the concentrations (in mole fraction) of all species in the exhaust from the incomplete combustion (90% combustion) of butane (C4H10). Assume 50% excess air with respect to complete combustion is the source for the oxygen. Air composition is 79 mol% N2 and 21 mol% O2.
