Question

In the combustion of hexane (a low-boiling component of gasoline), $2C_6H_{14}(g) + 19O_2(g) longrightarrow 12CO_2(g) + 14H_2O(g)$ it was found that the rate of decrease of $C_6H_{14}$ was 1.20 mol $L^{-1} s^{-1}$. (a) What was the rate of reaction with respect to $O_2$? (b) What was the rate of formation of $CO_2$? (c) What was the rate of formation of $H_2O$?

Step 1

First, let's write down the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of hexane: $$2C_6H_{14}(g) + 19O_2(g) \rightarrow 12CO_2(g) + 14H_2O(g)$$ (a) Show more…
