B. The white piece of plastic will reflect both visible light and sound waves better than the black piece of plastic.

C. The white piece of plastic will reflect sound waves better than the black piece of plastic , but both pieces of plastic will reflect the same amount of visible light.

Answer:

The awnser is D

Explanation:

Since the black pieces absorb light better than white pieces, the white pieces will reflect light better. But since color doesn't affect sound, the sound waves are reflected the same.

The type of response when a plant moves away from the stimulus
Ivan

Answer:

A tropism is a turning toward or away from a stimulus in the environment. Growing toward gravity is called geotropism. Plants also exhibit phototropism, or growing toward a light source. This response is controlled by a plant growth hormone called auxin.

In a test of an automobile engine 1.00 L of octane (702 g) is burned, but only 1.84 kg of carbon dioxide is produced. What is th
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 702 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Mass CO2 =1.84 kg = 1840 grams

Molar mass of CO2

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 702.0 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 6.145 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of CO2

For 2 moles octane we need 25 moles O2 to produce 16 moles CO2 and 18 moles H2O

For 6.145 moles octane we'll have 8*6.145 moles =49.16 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 49.16 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 2163.5 grams

Step 6: Calculate % yield of carbon dioxide

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*100%

% yield = (1840/2163.5)*100%

% yield = 85.05 %

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

A civil engineering student is considering buying an electric car. However, the conscious student wants to make sure her carbon
svetlana [45]

Answer:

\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month  

\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle  

(a) Moles of heptane used  

n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}

(b) Equation for combustion  

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O  

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed  

n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed  

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.  

V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}

3. Using an electric vehicle  

(a) Theoretical energy used  

\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}

(b) Actual energy used  

The power station is only 85 % efficient.  

\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹  

V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}

4. Comparison  

\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}

Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
Anastasy [175]
Fluorine. 

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.
