Call x the volume of gas whose octane rating is 140 and y the volume of gas whose octane rating is 80, then:

(1) x*140 + y*80 = 60*120, and

(2) x + y = 60

from (1) 140x + 80y = 7200 => (3) 7x + 4y = 360

from (2) --->                              (4) 4x + 4y = 240

Subtract (4) from (3)

7x - 4x = 360 - 240

3x = 120

=> x = 120/3 = 40

=> y = 120 - 40 = 80

Answer: should be used 80 gallons from tank with the octane rating of 80

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid, CH3COOH, dissolved in water. A 5.54-g sample of vinegar was neutralized by 30.10 mL of 0.1
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 5.54 grams

Volume of NaOH = 30.10 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.100M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = volume * molarity

Moles NaOH = 0.03010 L * 0.100M

Moles NaOH = 0.00301 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles CH3COOH

For 1 mol NaOH we need 1 mol CH3COOH

For 0.00301 moles NaOH we nee 0.00301 moles CH3COOH

Step 5: Calculate mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = moles CH3COOH * molar mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = 0.00301 moles * 60.05 g/mol

Mass CH3COOH = 0.1808 grams

Step 6: Calculate percent by weight of acetic acid

Mass % = ( 0.1808 / 5.54 ) *100%

Mass % = 3.26 %

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid
