Americans combined drive about 4.0 x 109 kilometers a day and get an average of 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. For each kilogr

am of gasoline that is burned about 3 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced. With the density of gasoline as 0.93 g/cm3, how many kg of CO2 are emitted by U.S. cars into the atmosphere each minute? (1 gallon = 3.7854 L, 1 mile = 1.609 km)
A. 9.12 x 105 kg CO2/min
B. 5.47 x 107 kg CO2/min
C. 4.7 x 109 kg CO2/min
D. 4.38 x 106 kg CO2/min

Answer:

303,882.84649 kg\times 3=9.12\times 10^5 kg of carbon dioxide gas.

Explanation:

Average distance covered by Americans in a day= 4.0\times 10^9 km

1 day = 24 × 60 min = 1,440 min

Average distance covered by Americans in a minute= \frac{4.0\times 10^9 km}{1,440}=2,777,777.78 km

Average mileage of the car = 20 miles/gal = 32.18 km/gal

1 mile = 1.609 km

20 miles = 20 × 1.609 km = 32.18 km

Volume of gasoline used in minute = \frac{2,777,777.78 km}{32.18 km/gal}

V=86,320.00 gal

V=86,320.00\times 3.7854 L

(1 L = 1000 mL)

V=86,320.00\times 3.7854 \times 1000 mL=326,755,748.91 mL

Mass of 86,320.00 gallons of gasoline = m

Density of the gasoline = d = 0.93 g/cm^3=0.93 g/mL

1 mL= 1 cm^3

m=d\times V=0.93 g/mL\times 326,755,748.91 mL

m=303,882,846.49 g=303,882.84649 kg

1 kilogram of gasoline gives 3 kg of carbon dioxde gas .

Then 303,882.84649 kg of gasoline will give :

303,882.84649 kg\times 3=9.12\times 10^5 kg of carbon dioxide gas.

The essential oil found in cloves, eugenol, can be isolated by steam distillation because it is insoluble in water and has a mea
Damm [24]
We know that:
Molar Mass H2O: 18 g/mol 
<span>Molar Mass of Eugenol: 164 g/mol </span>
<span>Boiling point of H2O: 100 degrees C </span>
<span>Boiling point of Eugenol: 254 degrees C </span>
<span>Density of water: 1.0 g/mL </span>
<span>Density of Eugenol: 1.05 g/mL </span>

<span>Using formula:
V= [mole fraction x molar mass] / density </span>

<span>mH20: 0.9947 * 18
          = 17.9046 / 1 g/mL
          = 17.9046 </span>
<span>morg: 0.0053 * 164  
        = 0.8692/ 1.05 g/mL

<span>V% = Vorg/(Vorg + VH2O) * 100 </span>
<span>(0.8278/18.7324) * 100 = 4.419% </span>

Yotal volume = 30 mL; therefore,

<span>(m eug/mH2O) = (peug*164/pH2O*18) </span>
<span>(m eug/30) = (4*164/760*18) </span>
<span>m eug = about 1.44g and </span>
<span>
volume = mass/density
            = 1.44/1.05
            = about 1.37 mL </span>

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻

    Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d)  Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

     Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

    NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

     The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.

   CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

    H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.
