A sample of gasoline has a mass of 595.0 lb and a volume of 14.0 ft^3. What is its specific gravity?

Chemistry

Sedbober [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

            mass of gasoline = 595.0 lb

            volume of gasoline = 14.0 ft^{3}

As it is known that density is the amount of mass of a substance divided by its volume.

So, density of gasoline will be as follows.

                Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                              = \frac{595.0 lb}{14.0 ft^{3}}

                              = 42.5 lb/ft^{3}

As, 1 lb = 0.4536 kg and 1 ft = 0.3048 m. Now, putting these values into the above equation (1) as follows.

                       Density = 42.5 lb/ft^{3}

                                     = 42.5 \times \frac{0.4536 kg}{(0.3048 m)^{3}}

                                     = 680.792 kg/m^{3}    

                                     = 680.8 kg/m^{3} (approx)

Density of water is 1000 kg/m^{3}. To measure specific gravity of gasoline, the formula will be as follows.

               specific gravity of gasoline = \frac{\text{density of gasoline}}{\text{density of water}}    

                                         = \frac{680.8 kg/m^{3}}{1000 kg/m^{3}}

                                         = 0.681

Thus, we can conclude that the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.681.

Use the drop-down menus to seled the correct responses to each question about ocean zones
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Intertidal zone

Neritic zone

Open-ocean zone

Note: the correct questions are found below;

In which zone do you find marshes and mangrove forests?

In which zone are plankton plentiful, providing plenty of food for the fish that live there?

In which zone would you find very little plant or animal life compared to other zones?

Explanation:

The intertidal zone, sometimes called the littoral zone, is the area of the marine shoreline that is exposed to air at low tide, and covered with seawater when the tide is high. Intertidal zonation refers to the tendency of plants and animals to form distinct communities between the high and low tide lines. Some microclimates in the littoral zone are moderated by local features and larger plants such as mangroves.

The neritic zone is the region of shallow water (200 meters depth) above the continental shelf where light penetrates to the sea floor.

Due to the abundant supply of sunlight and nutrients such as plankton in this zone, it is the most productive ocean zone supporting the vast majority of marine life.

The open oceans or pelagic ecosystems are the areas away from the coastal boundaries and above the seabed. It encompasses the entire water column and lies beyond the edge of the continental shelf. It extends from the tropics to the polar regions and from the sea surface to the abyssal depths.

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th
Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.
