The octane number of fuel is 79%. What does that mean

Chemistry

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.

If you dispense 40 ml of hexane, but it turns out you only need 5 ml, what should you do with the remainder?
Natasha2012 [34]

After subtracting the volume needed from the volume dispensed, we got a remainder of 35ml

<h3>Subtraction of Numbers</h3>

Given Data

  • Volume of Hexane dispensed = 40ml
  • Volume needed = 5 ml

Let us compute the amount of excess hexane/ the volume that will remain

Remainder = The difference in volume dispensed and the volume needed

Remainder = 40-5

Remainder = 35 ml

The remainder is 35ml

What would be the expected radius of a nucleus having 82 protons and 125 neutrons?
Luba_88 [7]

The expected radius of a nucleus having 82 protons and 125 neutrons would be 5.2 fm.

<h3>What is a nucleus in the atom?</h3>

The nuclei are incredibly tiny and dense. They are 10 thousand times smaller than an atom and have more than 99.9% of their mass. Protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no electrical charge, make up the nucleus. Alternately, protons and neutrons make up an atom's nucleus. While neutrons have no charge but weigh the same as protons, protons have a positive charge that is equivalent to the orbiting electrons. Based on the 1909 Geiger-Marsden gold foil experiment, Ernest Rutherford identified the atomic nucleus in 1911, which is the compact, dense region made up of protons and neutrons at the heart of an atom.

Promethium-147 is sometimes used in luminescent paint. It has a half-life of 956.3 days. If 250 grams (g) of promethium-147 is u
Fantom [35]

Answer:

% = 76.75%

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to use the expressions of half life and it's relation with the concentration or mass of a compound. That expression is the following:

A = A₀ e^(-kt)   (1)

Where:

A and A₀: concentrations or mass of the compounds, (final and initial)

k: constant decay of the compound

t: given time

Now to get the value of k, we should use the following expression:

k = ln2 / t₁/₂   (2)

You should note that this expression is valid when the reaction is of order 1 or first order. In this kind of exercises, we can assume it's a first order because we are not using the isotope for a reaction.

Now, let's calculate k:

k = ln2 / 956.3

k = 7.25x10⁻⁴ d⁻¹

With this value, we just replace it in (1) to get the final mass of the isotope. The given time is 1 year or 365 days so:

A = 250 e^(-7.25x10⁻⁴ * 365)

A = 250 e^(-0.7675)

A = 191.87 g

However, the question is the percentage left after 1 year so:

% = (191.87 / 250) * 100

<h2>% = 76.75%</h2><h2>And this is the % of isotope after 1 year</h2>
