Suppose you are asked to determine whether a nugget is made of gold on the basis of its density. You weigh the nugget and find t

hat it has a mass of 163 grams (g). Then you carefully add it to a graduated cylinder that contains 50.0 milliliters (mL) of water and observe that the water level in the cylinder rises to 58.5 mL. What is the density of the nugget in grams per cubic centimeter?

Answer:

Explanation:

density is mass over volume

Mass = 163 grams

Volume = 58.5 - 50.0 = 8.5

density = 163 / 8.5

density = 19.176

To 3 figures that 19.2 grams / mL

Two gases helium and x are released from one end of an evacuated long cylinder at the same time if it takes helium atoms 3 times
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Hypoflorous acid, HOF

Explanation:

From the question, we're told that the helium atoms effuses 3 times than the said gas X.

We can determine the rate of effusion by using the formula

r is inversely proportional to 1/√M, where M is the molecular mass of the gas.

And also,

r is inversely proportional to 1/t, where t is the time taken for effusion.

From both formulas I listed, we can conclude that t is directly proportional to √M. And thus we proceed.

The molecular mass of Helium is 4.

tHe = tX/3, where tx is the time taken for the unknown gas X

As of yet, we don't know the molecular mass of X. Next, we say that

tX/tHe =√Mx/MHe

3 = √Mx/4

If we square both the sides, to remove the square root, we have

9 = Mx/4

Mx = 36

The molecular mass of the unknown gas X is 36.

A food processing plant discharges 40 cfs (cubic feet per second) of process water containing an ultimate BOD (L0) of 25 mg/L an
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The right solution according to the question is provided below.

Explanation:

According to the question,

(a)

The initial conditions will be:

DO = \frac{(40\times 1.8)+(260\times 7.6)}{40+260}

      = \frac{2048}{300}

      = 6.826 \ mg/L

The initial oxygen defict will be:

Do = 8.5-6.826

     = 1.674 \ mg/L

The initial BOD will be:

Lo = \frac{(40\times 25)+(260\times 3.6)}{40+260}

    = \frac{1936}{300}

    = 6.453 \ mg/L

(b)

The time reach minimum DO:

tc = \frac{1}{(kr-kd)} ln{(\frac{0.76}{0.61} )[1-\frac{1.674(0.76-0.61)}{0.61\times 6.453} ]}

   = \frac{1}{0.15}\times ln \ 1.158

By putting the values of log, we get

   = 0.973 \ days

The distance to reach minimum DO will be:

Xc = \frac{1.1\times 3600\times 24}{5280}\times 0.973 \ days

    = 18\times 0.973

    = 17.5 \ miles

Why did they focus on higher alcohols to add to or substitute gasoline instead of ethanol? Check all answers that apply. Select
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Because of statements (a), (c) and (d).

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each statement to know why they focus on higher alcohols instead of ethanol:

(a) It is easier to produce higher alcohols in microbes than it is to produce ethanol<u>.</u> This is true<u> since ethanol is the major biofuel in the world because it can be easily produced by fermentation technology developed a long time ago. Recently, higher alcohols are produced from microorganisms that are used as microbial cell factories.</u>                    

(b) Higher alcohols have a higher hygroscopicity than ethanol. This is false since ethanol is more hygroscopic than higher alcohols.

(c) Higher alcohols have a lower vapor pressure than ethanol. This is true, ethanol has a higher vapor pressure than higher alcohols. The vapor pressure is important since it can affect the proper cold starting of the engine.  

(d) Higher alcohols have a higher energy density than ethanol. This is true since the production of higher alcohols as biofuels is more desirable than the ethanol because higher alcohols have a high energy density and other more advantages than the use of ethanol.        

Therefore the answer of why did they focus on higher alcohols to add to or substitute gasoline instead of ethanol is because of the statements  (a), (c) and (d).

I hope it helps you!
