Answer:

Octane number, measure of the ability of a fuel to resist knocking when ignited in a mixture with air in the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine.

Octane number is also known as octane rating. Octane numbers are based on a scale on which isooctane is 100 (minimal knock) and heptane is 0 (bad knock). The higher the octane number, the more compression required for fuel ignition. Fuels with high octane numbers are used in high performance gasoline engines.

A cork has a mass of 3 grams and a volume of 16 cms calculate the density

REY [17]

hey mate here is ur answer

solution

mass{m}=3 gram

=3/1000

volume{v}=16cm

=16/100

density=m/v

=3/1000÷16/100

=3/160

=0.01875kg/m3

A 1.20 gram sample of a hydrated salt is heated to a constant mass of .80 gram. what is the percent of mass of water contained i

Papessa [141]

The mass of the water is 1.20 - 0.80 = 0.40 grams.

The % of water is (0.40 / 1.20 ) * 100 = 33 1/3%

If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water, which of the following solutions would be considered un

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.

Explanation:

A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute is called a saturated solution. Whereas a solution in which more amount of solute is able to dissolve is called an unsaturated solution.

Now, the number of moles present in 36 g of NaCl (molar mass = 58.4 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{36 g}{58.4 g/mol}\\= 0.616 mol$

This shows that solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water means a maximum of 0.616 mol of NaCl will dissolve in 100 mL of water.

So, a solution in which number of moles of NaCl are less than 0.616 mol per 100 mL then the solution formed will be an unsaturated solution.

As 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L (or 1000 mL) of water. So, moles present in 100 mL are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{5.8 mol}{1000 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.58 mol$

Moles present in 100 mL of water for 3.25 moles of NaCl dissolved in 500 ml in water are as follows.

$Moles = \frac{3.25 mol}{500 mL} \times 100 mL\\0.65 mol$

Moles present in 100 mL of water for 1.85 moles of NaCl dissolved in 300 ml of water are as follows.

$Moles = \frac{1.85 mol}{300 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.616 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that if the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.

Why the copper is able to replace the silver, but the reverse reaction will not result in a replacement reaction?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Copper is more reactive and higher in the activity series

Explanation:

Copper is able to replace the silver in a replacement reaction because it is more reactive and higher in the activity series.

Substances or ions that are higher in the activity series are typically more reactive than those ones below them.

In like manner, they are able to replace the lowers ones in a chemical reaction due to their higher reactivity potential.

A less reactive element and a lower one in the activity series cannot displace a higher one in the series.
