Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of

gas. If Harry drives 15,000 miles in a year, his vehicle will add pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere.

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
                                                         = 600 gallons
So 
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
                                                      = 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.

Which compound has the highest boiling point? HF, HI, HBr, HCl, or F2?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

HF

Explanation:

This concept can be understood from the knowledge of Intermolecular forces of attraction.

Intermolecular bonds are Van der Waals forces which are weak forces of attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together. They exist in the form of London Dispersion Forces and Dipole-dipole attraction.

An example of Dipole-dipole attraction is the hydrogen bond which is a unique dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which a hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen).

Molecules that possess the characteristics of hydrogen bonding have a higher boiling point. In the given question, only HF undergo hydrogen bond due to the electronegative effect of the fluorine element.

F2 occurs as a weak London dispersion force and it occurs between non-polar molecules.

The best material to be used in making cooking pots handles is made of: a. Polypropylene b. Bakelite c. Rubber d. Polyethylene
frutty [35]

Answer:

b. Bakelite

Explanation:

Bakelite -

Bakelite is a form if plastic , and is the very first plastic synthesized .

The handles of the cooking utensils are used to hold the utensil firmly , and hence need not turn hot while cooking , and need to be strong enough to take care of the food .

Hence , the handle should be of the material which is poor conductor of heat and strong .

Hence , bakelite is used for making the handle.
