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.

Balance <br> Na2O+H2O → NaOH
AleksAgata [21]
Answer:
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH
Step by step exp.
Given:
Equation Na2O+H2O=NaOH
To find: Balance the equation
Solution:
Taking LHS of the equation
LHS=Na2O+H2O
There is 2 sodium, 2 oxygen,& 2 hydrogen
To balance the equation we have equal number of atom so we multply 2 to the RHS=2NaOH
There fore the equation form is
Na2O+H2O=2NaOH

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and its frequency is 600 hertz, what would be its wavelength?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>»</em><em> </em><em>λ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>2</em><em>m</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of the wave {v}= 12 m/s

Frequency {f} = 600 Hz

Apply Wavelength formula :

• λ =  \frac{v}{f}

→ λ = \frac{12}{600}

→ λ = \frac{1}{50}

→ λ = 0.02m

A chemistry student weighs out 0.027 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. Afte
QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L

Consider this chemical reaction. What chemical is reduced?<br> CH3OH + NAD --&gt; CH2O + NADH
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

CH3OH and NADH

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is an redox reaction in which reduction and oxidation take place.

In the process of oxidation: electrons are loss while in the process of reduction: electrons are gained.

In the given redox reaction: CH3OH + NAD --> CH2O + NADH

NAD is reduced to NADH as NADH gains one hydrogen electron while CH3OH (methanol) is oxidized to CH2O (methanal)  by losing electrons.

So, CH3OH (methanol) and NADH are the reduced forms while NAD and CH2O (methanal) are oxidized forms.
