Estimate the liquid density (g/cm3) of propane at 298 K and 10 bar. Compare the price per kilogram of propane to the price of re

gular gasoline assuming the cost of 5 gal of propane for typical gas grills is roughly $30. The density of regular gasoline can be estimated by treating it as pure isooctane (2,2,4 trimethylpentane ! = 0.692 g/cm3 ) at 298 K and 1 bar.

Answer:

Density of propane = 17.8 g/L

Propane is more priced than gasoline

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature, T = 298 K

Pressure, P = 10 bar = 0.987 × 10 = 9.87 atm

now,

Molar mass of propane, M = 44.1 g/mol

From ideal gas law

⇒ PV = nRT

here,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

also,

Density, D = \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume(V)}}

or

V = \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{D}}

and,

nM = mass

thus,

V = \frac{\textup{nM}}{\textup{D}}

substituting in the ideal gas relation

we have

P = \frac{\textup{DRT}}{\textup{M}}

or

D = \frac{\textup{PM}}{\textup{RT}}

or

D = \frac{9.87\times44.1}{0.0821\times298}

or

D = 17.8 g/L

Now,

1 gallon = 3.78 Liter

Therefore,

5 gallon = 5 × 3.78 Liter = 18.9 Liter

Thus,

mass of 5 gallon propane = Volume × Density

= 18.9 Liter × 17.8 g/L

= 336.42 g

or

= 0.336 kg

also it is given that Price of 5 gallon propane i.e 0.336 kg = $30

Therefore,

Price per kg = \frac{30}{0.336}

= $89.28

and,

Mass of 5 gallons i.e 18.9 Liter gasoline = Density × Volume

= 0.692 g/cm³ × 18.9 Liter

also,

1 L = 1000 cm³

thus,

= 0.692 g/cm³ × 18.9 × 1000 cm³

= 13078.8 g

or

= 13.078 kg

Therefore,

Price per kg of gasoline = \frac{\$30}{13.078}

= $2.29

hence, propane is more priced than gasoline

Georgia [21]

Answer: $200,100

Explanation:

Given that,

Units sold = 15,000

Sales Revenue = $510,000

Purchases​ (excluding Freight​ In) = $310,500

Selling and Administrative Expenses = $36,000

Freight In = $15,900

Beginning Merchandise Inventory = $42,500

Ending Merchandise Inventory = $59,000

Cost of goods sold = Beginning Merchandise Inventory + Purchases​ + Freight In - Ending Merchandise Inventory

                                = $42,500 + $310,500 + $15,900 - $59,000

                                = $309,900

Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold

                    = $510,000 - $309,900

                    = $200,100

Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His
damaskus [11]

Answer:

That is $2,000 loss

Explanation:

After the hurricane Oscar received $140,000 for his loss, the adjusted basis for his property was $130,000 so he had a gain of 140,000- 130,000=$10,000.

According to Sec. 1033(a)(2) since the new property that was built (the replacement) was similar we will recognise the amount received from the insurance company ($140,000) to the extent that it pays for the replacement property.

That is

Gain or loss = amount paid by insurance company- cost of replacement property

Gain or loss= 140,000- 142,000

Gain or loss= -$2,000

That is $2,000 loss
