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.

The pressure on 30 milliliters of an ideal gas increases from
Nana76 [90]

V1 = 30 mL

P1 = 760 torr

P2 = 1520 torr

V2 = ?

applying Boyle's Law

P1*V1 = P2*V2

760 torr * 30 mL = 1520 torr * V2

V2 = 760 torr * 30 mL / 1520 torr

( C ) is correct

What is the molality of a solution of 10 g NaOH in 500 g water?<br>Molar mass NaOH = 40 g​
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

Moles of NaOH = 10g / (40g/mol) = 0.25mol.

0.25mol / 500g = 0.50mol / 1000g = 0.50mol/dm³.

The molarity is 0.50mol/dm³.

Without doing any calculations, match the following thermodynamic properties with their appropriate numerical sign for the follo
siniylev [52]

Answer:

∆H > 0

∆Srxn <0

∆G >0

∆Suniverse <0

Explanation:

We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.

Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.

The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.

Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
