Combustion Definition and 363 Threads

I was reading an article and they were talken about this new hydrogen hummer that will be powered by hydrogen. But it was a hydrogen combustion engine instead of a hydrogen electric vehicle. How does the combustion engine work? I thought hydrogen doesn't have that really quick explosive...

What volume of O2 (m3) is needed for the complete combustion of 152 g of C2H6 at 19.0oC and 100.0 kPa ?

I simply want to check that these equations are balanced correctly: 2CH_3OH_{(g)} + 3O_2_{(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_2_{(g)} + 4H_2O_{(l)} CH_3CH_2OH_{(g)} + 3O_2_{(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_2_{(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)} 2CH_3CH(OH)CH_3_{(g)} + 9O_2_{(g)} \rightarrow 6CO_2_{(g)} + 8H_2O_{(l)}...

Hey this is a weird subject but have any of you ever thought about what causes it, if it is indeed real? I have a theory but it may be totally wrong as I don't have a background in physics or chemistry. Well I read about solar neutrinos and how they pass through our bodies all the time. They...

Hello, how would i solve the following?: "How many litres of air (78% N2, 22% O2 by volume) are needed for the combustion of 1 litre of octane, C8H18, a typical gasoline component, of density 0.70g/mL?" Note - 1 mole of oxygen gas is equal to 24.5 litres. I have done the chemical...

I placed some magnesium ribbon in HCl and measured the temperature change. How would i find the change in enthalpy per mole of magnesium in the following reaction: Mg + 2HCl --> H2 +MgCl2 If i know the following information: change in temperature = 19C...

Hey, I need some help with the following question: A sample of 0.1964g of Quinone (C6 H4 02, Relative Molar Mass = 108.1) was burned in a bomb calorimeter that heas a heat capacity of 1.56 kJ/M. The temperature in the caolorimeter rose from 19.3 to 22.5 degrees celcius. (a) write a...

Hi, I know this is a chemistry question but I was hoping there'd be a kind soul with a chemistry background whose willing to help! The space research group I work for has 2 satellites which have hydrazine (N2H4) monopropellant thrusters. From what I understand the pressurized hydrazine is...

Ok. Let's suppose the next imaginary experiment. I encouragely promise that I don't know anything about nowadays supersonic combustion problems. I want to continue with the discussion spread in the "rocket thrust" thread, and what Enigma and Russ Waters said. There is a supersonic flow at the...

Hello, I know I should have knowledge of this, but I can't seem to remember very well what happens in combustion reactions with a very short supply, limited supply, and abundant supply of oxygen. What is the difference? I know complete combustion hands down, but what happens in a problem such...

Hi. Let's suppose you have to drive 100 km, you would be wasting more gas by: a)driving at a slower speed b)driving at a faster speed . Someone who adores cars told me that when you press on the accelerator all you're really doing is allowing more air into the combustion...

Will you please help me... It is required to determine the molal analysis of the products of combustion when C8 H18 is burned with 200% theoretical air, and determine the dew point (saturation temperature corresponding to the partial pressure of water present in this equation) of the products...

Enthalpyof Combustion of 1 molar volume of H2(g) divided by Enthalpyof Combustion of 1 molar volume of CH4(g) = Enthalpyof Combustion per mole of H2 divided by Enthalpy of Combustion per mole of CH4 why?
