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.

For the balanced equation shown below, how many moles of o2 will react with 0.3020 moles of co2? 2c2h5oh + 6o2 → 4co2 + 6h2o que
MariettaO [177]
The balanced reaction for combustion is as follows ;
2C₂H₅OH + 6O₂ ---> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
the stoichiometry of C₂H₅OH to O₂ is 2:6
that means 2 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6 mol of O₂.
when 1 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6/2 mol of O₂,
then 0.3020 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with - 6/2 x 0.3020
therefore number of O₂ moles reacted = 0.91 mol

Consider dissolving sugar in water and magnesium sulfate in water. is any new substance being produced? what happens after sodiu
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Sugar

(a) Dissolving in water

The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

2. Magnesium sulfate

(a) Dissolving in water

The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.

Answer:

Hydrogen Chloride Gas is heavier than air and sinks to the ground after being released. Firefighters closer to the ground will be subjected to significantly greater concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas than the firefighters walking on top of railcars.

Explanation:

The molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol. Air is approximately 78% N2, which has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol and 21% oxygen, which has a molar mass of 32 g/mol; the remaining constituents of air include CO2 and other trace amounts of gases.

The molar mass of HCl is 36.458 g/mol.

Because HCl is heavier than air, it sinks toward the ground, displacing the lighter air.

The height of railway cars is reported to vary between 13.5 ft to 15.5 ft. So firefighters on tank cars are generally above the HCl gas (although localized atmospheric conditions could cause the HCl to move higher up in the air column).
