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.

Why would heating up the human body be a bad choice for causing a chemical reaction?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

The human body has a normal core temperature of around 37°C to 38°C.

Now, if it is heated up to say 39° to 40°C, fatigue will start to set in and the brain begins to tell the muscles to slow down.

If it's now heated to higher temperatures above above 41°C, the body will begin to experience heat exhaustion and therefore will start to shut down.

Due to this process, the body can't even sweat at that stage because blood flow to the skin will stops thereby making the body feel cold and clammy. Thus, chemical processes/reaction in the body will begin to be affected and the cells inside the body will start to deteriorate and thus there is now a huge risk of having multiple organ failure.

Compare and contrast nitrogen and phosphorus cycles
azamat

The phosphorous cycle does not include an atmospheric component because phosphorous does not cycle through the atmosphere. In comparison, important processes of the carbon and nitrogen cycle occur in the atmosphere

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: b. False

K+ ions move faster than the Na+ ions through the neuron membranes.

The concentration of Sodium ions outside the cell is very high. The concentration of Potassium ions inside the cells is very high. Leakage channels thus allow sodium ions to move inside the cells and pumps out the Potassium from the cells.

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction. 2N205(g) <==> 4N02(g) + 02(g)
Elis [28]

Answer:

K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equilibrium reaction:

2 N₂O₅(g) ⇄ 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g)

The equilibrium reaction is obtained as the ratio between the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants over the products powered to its reaction coefficient. That is:

<h3>K = [NO₂]⁴[O₂] / [N₂O₅]²</h3>
