A scooter maintains a pace of 1.45 minutes per mile, with fuel economy of 85 miles per gallon. How many seconds can it travel on
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

281s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the scooter  = 1.45min per mile

Fuel economy of engine  = 85miles per gallon

Quantity of fuel  = 145mL

Unknown:

Time of travel with the volume of fuel given  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the distance the fuel will last.

 Rate of fuel consumption by the engine  = 85miles per gallon

Convert 145mL to gallons;

                3785.41mL  = 1 gallon

               145mL will therefore give \frac{145}{3785.41}    = 0.038gallons

So;

   Distance covered  = 85miles per gallon  x 0.038gallons  = 3.23miles

From;

             Rate of travel  = \frac{time }{distance}  

       Time  = rate of travel x distance  = 1.45 minutes per mile x  3.23miles

     Time  = 4.7min

             1 min  = 60s

            4.7min  = 4.7 x 60 = 281s

Describe the scale used to measure the basicity of a substance. Demonstrate how you could differentiate a weak base from a stron
amm1812

The scale used to measure the basicity of a substance is called the pH Scale. A base which when measured on a pH scale obtains a  value greater than 7 but less than or equal to 10 is weak base and from 10-14 is strong base

<h3>Meaning of Base and basicity</h3>

A base is any substance that has the ability to accept hydrogen ion in water and also netralize an acid when mixed together.

Basicity is an attribute associated with the pH scale measurement of values above 7 to 14.

Basicity increases on the scale from 7 to 14. On the pH scale 7 is neutral. So the higher we go the more basic a solution becomes until it gets to its highest point which is 14.

In conclusion, The scale used to measure the basicity of a substance is called the pH Scale. A base which when measured on a pH scale obtains a  value greater than 7 but less than or equal to 10 is weak base and from 10-14 is strong base

You complete a chemical reaction and recover 79 grams of product. However, you calculate you should have recovered 104 grams of
spin [16.1K]
Percent yield is calculated using:
percent \: yield =  \frac{actual \: yield}{theoretical \: yield}   \times 100\%

Your actual yield is how much you actually had at the end of the experiment = 79g.

Your theoretical yield is how much you calculated you should have gotten in an ideal, perfect experiment = 104g.

So put those values into the equation:
percent \: yield =  \frac{79}{104}  \times 100\% = 76\%
