Well, figures for efficiency vary a lot, but according to Bicycling Science it’s lubrication that matters most – lubing a dry chain can add 5% to the efficiency.
More interestingly (and I hadn’t read this bit in the book before) it varys a lot depending on gear ratio – bottom gear (22-28) is 99% efficient, top gear (42-11) is 88%. That’s a big difference
When the concentration is expressed in mass percentage, that means there is 3 g of solvent H₂O₂ in 100 grams of the solution. Then, that means the remaining amount of solute is 97 g. We use the value of molarity (moles/liters) to determine the amount of solution in liters, denoted as V. The solution is as follows:
0.02 mol KMnO4/L solution * 158.034 g KMnO4/mol * V = 97 g KMnO4
Solving for V,
V = 30.69 L
