As Jesse's hybrid accelerates to pass a car on the highway, he notices that his gas mileage drops from 40 miles per gallon to 15

. One likely explanation for this is:
A. the engine is powered by a biofuel that is not needed while cruising.
B. his car operates on battery power when he begins to accelerate.
C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.
D. his car operates only on battery power on the highway.

The most likely explanation for this observation is C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.

When cruising, hybrid cars are able to employ electrical energy to drive the car. Moreover, even if a vehicle is not a hybrid, a greater amount of fuel is consumed when one accelerates because the vehicle has to generate a force larger than the force of air resistance in order for it to accelerate. This increased demand of force reduces the vehicle's fuel economy.

Why does naphthalene have a higher melting point than biphenyl?
AlexFokin [52]

<span>Naphthalene has a higher melting point than biphenyl because naphthalene is a polar compound while biphenyl is a non-polar compound.</span> Studies show <span>that polar compounds have higher melting and boiling points than nonpolar compounds. It is because polar compounds have strong intermolecular forces.</span>

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1 - e, 2 - k, 3 - a, 4 - i, 5 - b,

Explanation:

The ratio of the amount of analyte in the stationary phase to the amount in the mobile phase. --- Retention factor.

Time it takes after sample injection into the column for the analyte peak to appear as it exits the column. -- Retention time

The process of extracting a component that is adsorbed to a given material by use of an appropriate solvent system. -- Elution

Measure of chromatographic column efficiency. The greater its value, the more efficient the column. -- Theoretical plate number

Gas, liquid, or supercritical fluid used to transport the sample in chromatographic separations. -- Mobile phase

Immiscible and immobile, it is packed within a column or coated on a solid surface. -- Stationary phase
