The heat is unusable and is being lost to the surrounding -- assuming that the engine has reached operating temperature and is not increasing or decreasing in temperature.

Answer is: The heat is unusable and lost to the surroundings.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Balanced chemical reaction of gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O + energy.

One part of energy produced in combustion of gasoline is used for car ungine (kinetic energy) and other part of that energy (in form of heat) is lost to the surronding and engine does not use it.

Where is almost all the mass of an atom

The nucleus!! This is made up of protons and neutrons that each weigh about 1 amu.

Electrons are not found in the nucleus and weigh almost nothing so chemistry in school doesn’t bother with them :)

Define saturated and unsaturated fats

saul85 [17]

Answer:

SATURATED: Saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds.

UNSATURATED: Unsaturated fats are loosely packed. They tend to be liquid at room temperature.

There are two main types of unsaturated fat:

Monounsaturated

Polyunsaturated

Using the following equation 5KNO2+2KMnO4+3H2SO4=5KNO3+2MnSO4+K2SO4+3H20. Starting with 2.47 grams of KNO2 and excess KMnO4 how

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Given equation : $5KNO_{2} + 2KMnO_{4} + 3H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow 5KNO_{3} + 2MnSO_{4} + K_{2}SO_{4} + 3H_{2}O$

Given information = 2.47 grams KNO2 and excess KMnO4 and we need to find grams of water (H2O).

Since KMnO4 is in excess, so grams of water(H2O) can be calculated using grams of KNO2 with the help of stoichiometry.

To find grams of water(H2O) from grams of KNO2 , we need to follow three steps.

Step 1. Convert 2.47 grams of KNO2 to moles of KNO2.

$Moles = \frac{grams}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of KNO2 = 85.10 g/mol

$Moles = 2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{1 mol KNO2}{85.10 gram KNO2}$

Moles = 0.0290 mol KNO2

Step 2. Convert moles of KNO2 to moles of H2O using mole ratio.

Mole ratio are the coefficient present in front of the compound in the balanced equation.

Mole ratio of KNO2 : H2O is 5 : 3 (5 coefficient of KNO2 and 3 coefficient of H2O)

$0.0290 mol KNO2\times \frac{3 mol H2O}{5 mol KNO2}$

Mole = 0.0174 mol H2O

Step 3. Convert mole of H2O to grams of H2O

Grams = Moles X molar mass

Molar mass of H2O = 18.00 g/mol

$Grams = 0.0174 mol H2O\times \frac{18 g H2O}{1 mol H2O}$

Grams of water = 0.313 grams H2O

Summary : The above three steps can also be done in a singe setup as shown below.

$2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{(1 mol KNO2)}{(85.10 gram KNO2)}\times \frac{(3 mol H2O)}{(5 mol KNO2)}\times \frac{(18.00 gram H2O)}{(1mol H2O)}$

In the above setup similar units get cancelled out and we will get grams of H2O as 0.313 grams water (H2O)

Which of the following distance is the shortest 100 millimeters 1.0 centimeters 10 decimeters 0.0001 kilometers

olya-2409 [2.1K]

100 mm = 100/1000= .1 meters
1cm = 1/100 = .01m
10 decimeters = 10/10 = 1 meter
.0001 km = .0001*1000 = .1 meter
