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

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory was later proven wrong?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option c and d

Explanation:

John Dalton. In 1808, John Dalton proposed a theory known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory. The theory was published in a paper titled “A New Chemical Philosophy”. This theory was new to that era

The 5 postulates of Daltons' atomic theory are:

1. All the matters are made of atoms.

2. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds

3. Compounds contain atoms in small whole-number ratios

4. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed . (This was later proven wrong )

5. All atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties (This was later proven wrong as atoms of same element may be different in case of elements having isotopes )

Therefore, options c and d are the answer.

Calculate the theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane; base your calculations on using 1.0 g of 1-butanol (as the limiting reagent).
Tomtit [17]

C₄H₉OH + HBr = C₄H₉Br + H2O

Δmole of alcohol gives 1 mole of bromobutanol

HBr is in excess, so the yield of the product is limited by the alcohol

Wt. of 1 butanol = 18

Molar mass of the butanol = 74.12 g/mole

Moles of the alcohol = 1/74.12 = 0.01349 moles

So, moles of bromobutane = 0.01349 moles

Molar mass of C₄H₉Br = 137.018 g/moles

So, theoretical mass of bromobutane is = 0.01349 × 137.0.18

= 1.85 g

How many Mg atoms are presented in 3.00 moles of MgCl2
ella [17]

Answer:

1.81 x 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms in the given number of moles, we need to understand that every substance contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

More appropriately, a mole of any substance will contain the Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

 So;

           If 1 mole of a substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ atoms;

               3 mole of MgCl₂ will contain 3 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.81 x 10²⁴ atoms
