Be sure to answer all parts. One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, whic

h is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 7930 mi at a consumption rate of 23.6 miles per gallon. Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.

The total number of cars = 40 million

Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles

Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.

Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles

annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide

Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen to form water. 2H2(
denpristay [2]
The reaction is as follows:
2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g) . ΔH = - 483.5 kJ
Using the change in enthalpy and heat, calculate the moles as follows:
Moles of H₂ = - \frac{amount of heat released}{ΔH} x 2 mol H₂
                  = - 216 kJ / (-483.5 kJ) x 2 mol H₂ 
                  = 0.893 mol H₂
Calculate the mass of H₂ using the moles and molar mass as follows:
0.893 mol H₂ x (2.02 g H₂ / 1 mol H₂) = 1.79 g H₂
Therefore, the mass of hydrogen gas is 1.79 g

How much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Applying this same method to the carbonate ion, we have 3 resonance structures with bond orders of 2, 1, 1 when considering the bond between carbon and a single oxygen.

Explanation:

CO32- has three resonating structures. The way to calculate the bond order for most conpounds having resonating structures is:(No.of bonds/No.of resonating structures) Since, CO32- has 4 bonds, Thus answer will be 4/3 or 1.3333..
