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.

What is the enthalpy of formation (?H?f) of NaHCO3(s) from its constituent elements.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Enthalpy of formation = -947.68KJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a substance is formed from its element in its standard states and in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. it may be positive or negative, if positive, it is an endothermic reaction where the heat content of the product is greater than that of the reactants, and if negative, it is exothermic reaction - where the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products. the enthalpy of formation is measured in KiloJoule/Moles (KJ/Mole).

From the value of the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3, it shows that the reaction is exothermic, that is the formation of NaHCO3 from its constituents elements. As such, the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products.

The step by step explanation is shown in the attachment.

Lorico [155]
M=43lb = 19,5kg

If 115mg --------- is for --------- 1kg
                             so
    x        ---------- is for --------- 19,5kg

x = 19,5kg * 115mg / 1kg
x = 2242,5 mg
