Vehicle gasoline has many slightly different compositions depending on local laws. However, on average it has a density of 0.737

kg/L. This morning you pumped 7.2 gallons of gasoline in order to fill up your fuel tank. How much mass have you added to your car, in kilograms?
1 gal = 3.785 L

Answer: 20.1 kg.

Explanation:

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

We are given:

Density of gasoline = 0.737kg/L

Volume of gasoline = 7.2gallons=7.2\times 3.785L=27.252L     (Conversion factor: 1gal=3.785L )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.737kg/L=\frac{\text{Mass of gasoline}}{27.252L}\\\\\text{Mass of gasoline}=20.084kg

The rule apply for multiplication and division is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer, thus the answer musty have three significant digits.

Hence, the mass added is 20.1 kg.

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain
nlexa [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons? *
RSB [31]

Answer:

The mass of the element is 26.20 amu

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons

To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles

Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of

1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu

The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu

The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =

11.0953194 amu

Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu
