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.

Alkanes are chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. <br><br> a. True<br> b. False
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Alkanes are chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. TRUE.

Alkanes are hydrocarbons, that is, they are organic compounds formed only by carbon and hydrogen. In alkanes, carbon atoms are bonded to each other through single covalent bonds and they are also bonded to hydrogen atoms through the same type of bonds. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2.

Which of the following has a polar covalent bond? b. Which of the following has a bond closest to the ionic end of the bond spec
Marizza181 [45]

Explanation:

<u>Polar covalent bonding is the type of the chemical bond in which the pair of the electrons is unequally shared between the two atoms.</u> As a result, the atom with higher value of electronegativity acquires a slightly negative charge and the atom with lower value of electronegativity acquires a slightly positive charge.

In the molecule of CH_3NH_2, the bond which is closest to ionic end of bond spectrum is <u>N-H bond</u> because the nitrogen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen and is ionic in nature.

In the molecule of CH_3CH_3, the bond which is closest to ionic end of bond spectrum is <u>no one</u> because there is not much difference between carbon and hydrogen for the bond to be said as ionic.

In the molecule of CH_3OH, the bond which is closest to ionic end of bond spectrum is <u>O-H bond</u> because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen and is ionic in nature.

How many grams of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO) are there in 0.594 moles?
Flauer [41]

Answer : The mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of LiClO = 0.594 g

Molar mass of LiClO = 58.4 g/mol

Expression used :

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=\text{ Moles of }LiClO\times \text{ Molar mass of }LiClO

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=(0.594moles)\times (58.4g/mole)

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=34.7g

Therefore, the mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.
