In 1983, a pilot miscalculated the fuel requirement for Air Canada Fight 143 from Montreal to Edmonton. Halfway through the flig

ht, the plane ran out of fuel because of an English-metric conversion error. Suppose that based on the distance and conditions, the flight would require at least 2.2 x 104 kg of fuel. The plane started off having 5, 756 liters in the tank when the pilot arrived. If there are 803 g of jet fuel in 1 liter, determine how much fuel (in liters) would be needed for a successful trip.

Answer:

27,397.23 L would be needed for a successful trip.

Explanation:

The problem gives us <u>the density (ρ) of the fuel,</u> by telling us that there are 803 g of fuel in 1 L, in which case:

ρ=\frac{mass}{Volume}=\frac{803g}{1L}  =803\frac{g}{L}

The required mass of fuel is 2.2 * 10⁴ kg, we can convert this value into g:

2.2 * 10⁴ kg * \frac{1000g}{1kg} = 2.2 * 10⁷ g

We calculate the required volume (V), using the mass and density:

803 g/L = \frac{2.2*10^{7}g }{V} \\V=\frac{2.2*10^{7}g }{803g/L}\\ V=27397.26 L

Thus 27,397.23 L would be needed for a successful trip.

Explain the role of rhinos in the food chain?
hichkok12 [17]
The role of rhinos in the food chain is... <span>White rhinos are grass-grazing animals, while black rhinos are low browsers. They fill similar roles in their ecosystems to other grazers and browsers. Their size means they eat a LOT, and also means that generally only their offspring are preyed on. So, recycling and trampling high-carbon foliage into fertilizer is their main function.

List one benefit and one limitation of using scientific models.
Schach [20]

“Models are developed when a scientist’s creativity and insight are combined with data and observations about many similar scenarios”. Models are used for a lot of things in science. As we know everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same applies to models. Models help us illustrate the concept and formulate hypothesis. When models are used, the scientists are able to notice patterns and develop and revise representation that become a useful model, which makes their scientific knowledge stronger and helps them understand more about the nature of science. Models are a simplified representation. One of the biggest advantages of the model is, that it allows you to have a look at things which are too small such as atoms or too big such as the solar system.

 

Although, having many benefits, models have quite a number of disadvantages. Models sometimes oversimplify the process therefore leading to a misunderstanding. As models are supposed to be a simplified representation, they will not be complex, which means they will lack detail. For Example “our particle model explains many things about matter, it is not comprehensive — for example, it cannot predict why certain materials have different electrical properties. We could add further refinements that are outside the scope of this course to enable it to do so, but it would make our model so complicated that it would no longer be useful to us”

Denver, Colorado (altitude above sea level is 5,280 ft) has an atmospheric pressure of 633. mm Hg. Calculate the boiling point o
Fed [463]

Answer:

T2 = 94.6 C

Explanation:

Use Clausius-Clayperyon equation.

ln P1/P2 = ∆Hvap/R (1/T2 - 1/T1) where R = 8.314 J/mol-K and T is in degrees K

P1 = 760 mmHg

P2 = 630 mmHg  

T1 = 373 K

T2 = ?

∆Hvap = 40.7 kJ/mole

R = 0.008314 kJ/mole-K (NOTE: change R to units of kJ)

Plug in and solve for T2

ln 760 mmHg/630 mmHg = 40.7 kJ/mole (1/T2 - 1/373K)

T2 = 367.74 K = 94.6 C
