1. a. The car I drive is a Toyota Prius C; its average mileage rating is 51.0 mpg. Convert this rating into units of kilometers traveled per liter of gasoline consumed. (3 pts) b. Gasoline is a mixture of several hydrocarbon compounds, but let's assume that it consists of only one: nonane. If the density of nonane is 0.718 g/mL, use the result from question #1 to calculate how many kilometers the Prius can travel on one kilogram of gasoline. (2 pts) c. The chemical formula for nonane is C,H₂0. Using this formula, write a balanced equation for the combustion of nonane. (2 pts) d. Using the mass-to-moles-to-moles-to-mass process and your balanced equation from part c, determine how many grams of CO₂ is produced for every 1000. grams of nonane combusted. (6 pts) e. Using the quantity of CO, produced in part d and the kilometer distance traveled from part b, calculate the grams of CO, generated by my Prius for every kilometer that I drive it. (2 pts) 2. a. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen are reacted in the gas phase, in the presence of a catalyst, to produce methane; write a balanced equation for this reaction. (2 pts) b. If 73.2 g of CO and 10.6 g of H₂ are mixed together and react to form methane, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of methane produced. (6 pts) c. 16.7 g of methane is actually produced in this reaction; based on your theoretical yield, calculate the percent yield of this reaction. (2 pts) 1. a.
