Answer:
Becomes 1/4 as much
Explanation:
If a and b are directly proportional, this means we may write an equality between them if some proportionality constant, k, is included, so that:
The equation shows that:
And since k is a constant, this would imply that increasing a by some fraction would also require b to increase by the same fraction.
In the context of this problem, we're given that a becomes 1/4 as much, meaning b should also become 1/4 as much to keep the same proportionality constant, k.
I am not the best at this, but im pretty sure its below cloud
The density of pure gold (au) is 19.3 g/cm3. what is the mass of a block of gold that measures 1.2 cm x 5.00 cm x 3.20 cm? please show work.
Given: Density of pure gold = 19.3 g /cm^3
Measurement of block of gold =1.2 cm x 5.00 cm x 3.20 cm
To calculate : mass of gold
Formula used: Density = Mass / Volume
Volume = 1.2 cm x 5.00 cm x 3.20 cm = 19.2 cm^3
Mass of gold = Density X volume = 19.3 g /cm^3 X 19.2 cm^3 = 370.56 g
The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 
kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)
Answer: 
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of 
Thus 
of octane give =
of
Mass of 
Thus of is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.
