One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i

s, 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 value is U  =1.3908 *10^{11} \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

mass of carbon dioxide produced by one gallon of gasoline is m  =  9.50 \  kg

The number of cars is N =  40 \  million =  40 *10^{6} \  cars

The distance covered by each car is d =  7930 \ mi

The rate is R  =  23.6 \  mi/ gallon

Generally the amount of gasoline used by one car is mathematically represented as

G  =  \frac{d}{R}

=> G  =  \frac{7930}{23.6}

=> G  =   366 \  gallons

Generally the amount of gasoline used by N cars is

H  =  N  *  G

=> H  =  40*10^{6}  *  366

=> H  = 1.464*10^{10} \  gallons

Generally the annual production of carbon dioxide is mathematically represented as

U  =  m *  H

=> U  =9.50 *   1.464*10^{10}

=> U  =1.3908 *10^{11} \  kg

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
Bad White [126]
<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain
sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

-w=\frac{dm}{dt}

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}

-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}

-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}

-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}

-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)

-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]

a) Initially: t=0

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg

c) If time trends to infinity the  division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

a sample of 25.0g of an unknown metal is added to 25.0ml of water in a graduated cylinder and the final volume is 28.5ml what is
leva [86]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 7.14 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of metal = 25 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 28.5 - 25 = 3.5 mL

It's density is

density =  \frac{25}{3.5}  \\  = 7.142857...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.14 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

P4O10(s) = -3110 kJ/mol H2O(l) = -286 kJ/mol H3PO4(s) = -1279 kJ/mol Calculate the change in enthalpy for the following process:
mash [69]

Answer:

-290KJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔHrxn = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant

ΔHrxn= 4ΔHH3PO4 - {6ΔHH2O + ΔHP4O10}

ΔHrxn = 4(-1279) - [6(-286) - 3110]

= -5116 -(-1716-3110)

= -5116-(-4826)

= -5116 + 4826 = -290KJ/mol
