Gasoline is refined petroleum used in engines as a fuel. It contains octane that can be converted to isooctane by adding catalysts like platinum and palladium.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

Catalysts are substances that raise the reaction rate by decreasing the activation energy but do not get consumed themselves in a reaction.

Platinum and palladium metals can be used as a catalyst to convert the octane of the gasoline into isooctane as they are oxidation catalyst that converts the fuel components into water and carbon dioxide.

Therefore, platinum and palladium are used as catalysts in converting octane.

(a) The absorbance of mixture at 400 nm was 0.40.
laiz [17]

Answer:

0.1 g/dl

Explanation:

The standard curve is a graph that relates the absorbance at 400 nm with the concentration of haemoglobin in mg/dl. To obtain the concentration from the absorbance value, we enter in the x-axis (absorbance at 400 nm) with the value 0.40 (the line between 0.2 and 0.6), we extrapolate the line to the curve and read the correspondent value on y-axis (concentration in mg/dl): 100 mg/dl.

So, we convert the concentration from mg/dl to g/dl by dividing into 1000:

100 mg/dl x 1 g/1000 mg = 0.1 g/dl

Therefore, the concentration of haemoglobin of the patient is 0.1 g/dl.

Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3. Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.79 kg .
Kazeer [188]
M = 4.79 kg = 4790 g
d = 7.86 g/cm3
density = mass/volume
v = m/d
v = 4790/7.86
v = 609.4 cm3
1 cm3 = 10^-2 dL

v = 609.4 x 0.01 = 6.09 dL
