Answer:

C. 10/9 gallons

Explanation:

Given that

V= 20 gallons

Volume of ethanol = 5% of V = 0.05 x 20 = 1 gallons

Volume of the gasoline = 95 % of V = 19 gallons

Lets take x gallons of ethanol is added to achieve optimum performance.

(1+x)/(20+x) = 10 %

(1+x)/(20+x) =0.1

1+ x = 0.1 ( 20+ x)

1+ x = 2 + 0.1 x

1 = 0.9 x

x= 10 /9  gallons

So the option C is correct.

C. 10/9 gallons

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box. ____CO +____ O2 → ____CO2
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

2, Blank, 2 ;

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The balanced chemical equation would be;

2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2

Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element are equal on both the reactants side and the products side. This ensures that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed in chemical reactions.
