What are the characteristics of an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic reactions release energy, it often produces an increase in temperature, and in this reaction, the bonds energies of the reactants are less then the energies of the products (meaning it is greater when it is on the reactant side).
Can gasoline mix into water?
NO! Gasoline is a highly flammable petrol (oil) based product so they wont mix but rather the water, which is heavier than gas, will sit on the bottom of the container they are in. If this is a vehicle then its the gas tank and since the fuel pump pumps off the bottom the vehicle wont start.
Will gasoline ignite if left in the sun?
Depends. It's actually the vapor from gasoline that burns, and it would need a spark of some type to ignite it. If it is in an open container, it will simply evaporate. The vapors of evaporation would be very volatile and are easy to ignite with a spark. If its in a sealed container, then just being out in the sun should not cause it to ignite. However, that being said, I don't see any benefit to leaving a container of gas out in the sun, so it's probably not a good idea. presupposing that it is in a container, and that 'in the sun' means in direct sunlight & outdoors. The answer would be no. While gasoline will ignite at a very low temperature (-40 F) with a good spark, it requires a very high temp 475 F or so to self ignite.
What household objects are examples of chemical change?
An example of a household endothermic reaction is boiling water. The process of water going from the liquid to gas phase is an endothermic process (you have to put heat into the water).An example of a household exothermic reaction is the burning of natural gas occurring on a stove-top or in an oven to cook food. The natural gas, mostly methane, CH4, burns by combining with oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water (and some other by-products such as carbon monoxide). This exothermic reaction creates the heat to cook with. Another example is burning wood or coal.An example of a substance in the liquid phase is water! Some other common examples of liquids are oil, gasoline, rubbing alcohol, and acetone (nail polish remover).
What are three things that can explode?
Answer1: Bombs, Coke only if you shake it then open it and a person because if he/she explodes it means with rage. Answer2: Alot of things can explode, depends under what circumstances do you want them to explode? -Hydrogen Gas -Gasoline Vapor -Any container that the inside pressure, the contents exceeds the strength of the container. It will naturally rupture or explode.
The following is exothermic or endothermic"The combustion of gasoline in a car engine?
Gas
When you burn a log in the fireplace or burn gasoline in a car is the reaction an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
exothermic..heat is the product
Is burning gasoline an exothermic process or an endothermic process?
Solid to gas (sublimation) is endothermic (takes in heat).In other words:A phase change from the solid state to the gas state is endothermic.Sublimation is endothermic (takes in energy).Heat energy must be provided to make it work.When there is a change of state from a solid to a liquid, a solid to a gas, or a liquid to a gas, at a constant temperature, the process is endothermic NOT exothermic. It requires energy to break the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules together, and that reduces the temperature - heat is taken in.
Which type reaction is the burning of gasoline to release energy?
an exothermic reaction
How do you wash a gasoline container?
You don't.
A 20-gallon container is filled with 6 gallons of gasoline what fraction of the container is filled with gasoline?
14
Which type of reaction the burning of gasoline to release heat energy?
an exothermic reaction
What two substances causes an exothermic reaction?
Many substances can "cause" (or participate in) exothermic reactions. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that gives off thermal energy, as opposed to an endothermic reactionwhich requires the input of energy to occur. A classic example of an exothermic reaction is the burning of gasoline in an automobile engine. Gasoline is ignited to induce an exothermic combustion reaction with free oxygen in the air. The reaction causes the release of thermal energy which is converted to mechanical energy as the resulting gasses expand inside the engine's combustion chamber. Excess thermal energy is also released into the cylinder walls of the engine. So much so that your car has a coolant system just to absorb the excess thermal energy into a water-based coolant, and dissipate it from your radiator. Lots of heat energy being given off=exothermic reaction. And again, there are many different exothermic reactions involving many different substances.
What do you do when your running out of gas?
Go to a nearby gas station and add gas, or if you cant move you can use a gas container and just put the gasoline in the container and pay normally telling the cashier that you have the gasoline in the container.
Can a exothermic reaction be used to fire an engine?
Yes. That is exactly what we use today. Most engines are powered by an exothermic reaction between gasoline or a similar fuel with oxygen.
A car's engine converts gasoline into energy in an exothermic reaction?
Yes.
How big a container do you need to hold 2000 g of gasoline?
A 2 L container is sufficient.
