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.

Consider the following reaction: C6H6 + O2 \longrightarrow ⟶ CO2 + H2O 39.7 grams of C6H6 are allowed to react with 105.7 g of O
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

116.3 grCO2

Explanation:

1st - we balance the equation so that it finds the same amount of elements of the product side and of the reagent side

C6H6 +15/2 O2⟶ 6CO2 +3 H2O

2nd - we calculate the limiting reagent

39.2gr C6H6*(240grO2/78grC6H6)=120 grO2

we don't have that amount of oxygen so this is the excess reagent and oxygen the limiting reagent

3rd - we use the limiting reagent to calculate the amount of CO2 in grams

105.7grO2*(264grCO2/240grO2)=116.3 grCO2

Challenge question: This question is worth 6 points. As you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. T
Llana [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d64s2

Fe2+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d6.

In an octahedral crystal field, there are two sets of degenerate orbitals; the lower lying three t2g orbitals, and the higher level two degenerate eg orbitals. Strong field ligands cause high octahedral crystal field splitting, there by separating the two sets of degenerate orbitals by a tremendous amount of energy. This energy is much greater than the pairing energy required to pair the six electrons in three degenerate orbitals. Since CN- is a strong field ligand, it leads to pairing of six electrons in three degenerate orbitals

What is the dropped down number in a chemical formula that tells the number of atoms of a particular element? *
densk [106]
The lack of a number preceding the carbon symbol C and the compound formula CO2 shows that there is one carbon atom and one carbon dioxide molecule. Subscript numbers in chemical formulas represent the number of atoms or molecules immediately preceding the subscript.

Describe the pH changes expected if an acid is used to neutralize a base with pH 12
antoniya [11.8K]

By adding acid to a basic solution of pH 12, the overall solution becomes less basic and the Ph of solution decreases to a value of 7, which is known as the pH of a neutral solution, i.e neither basic nor acidic. This process is called neutralizing the base.
