Describe how gasoline, as a fuel, can undergo a chemical change.

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
5 0

Answer with Explanation:

A "chemical change" occurs when the structure of the molecules change. If there's no change in structure, it is called a "physical change." This also means that a <em>chemical reaction </em>has to occur for something to be considered a chemical change.

Gasoline when used as a fuel is being transformed into other forms of energy. It undergoes a process called <em>"combustion."</em>

When used as a fuel for cars, <em>the gasoline is being burned to produce </em><u><em>heat energy.</em></u> This energy is then converted into <u><em>mechanical energy</em></u> that allows the car to move. Clearly, the gasoline has undergone a chemical change.

The volume of a sample of gas, initially at 25 °C and 158 mL, increases to
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The final temperature = 848.7 K or 575.7 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 25.0 °C = 298 K

Volume = 158 mL = 0.158 L

The volume increases to 450 mL = 0.450 L

The pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.158 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 298 K

⇒with V2 = the increased volume = 0.450 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

0.158 L / 298 K = 0.450 L / T2

T2 = 0.450 L / (0.158L/298K)

T2 = 848.7 T

The final temperature = 848.7 K or 575.7 °C

1. Complete the balanced dissociation equation for the compound below. If the compound does not dissociate, write NR after the r
puteri [66]

Answer:

1. (NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

2. Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

Explanation:

The dissociation of ammonium sulphide, (NH₄)₂S when dissolved in water is given in the equation below:

(NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

However very little S²- ions are present in solution due to the very basic nature of the S²- ion (Kb = 1 x 105).

The ammonium ion being a better proton donor than water, donates a proton to sulphide ion to form hydrosulphide ion which exists in equilibrium with aqueous ammonia.

S²- (aq) + NH₄+ (aq) ⇌ SH- (aq) + NH₃ (aq)

Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide are smelly due to the release of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, hence, their use in making stink bombs.

2. The reaction between aluminium nitrate and sodium phosphatein aqueous solution is a double decomposition reaction whish results in the precipitation of insoluble aluminium phosphate. The equation of the reaction is given below :

Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s) + 3 NaNO₃ (aq)

The net ionic equation is given below:

Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

Mannitol salt agar is defined as both a selective and a differential agar since it selects against non-halophiles and allows the
viktelen [127]

Answer: The above statement is true

Explanation:

Mannitol salt agar is a medium which contain high concentration of salt,about 7.5%-10%. It is commonly used as a selective and differential growth medium.Because of its high concentration of salt,it inhibits growth if non halophiles(as they only grow best in media containing less tha 0.2M salts). If the bacteria can ferment mannitol,an acidic byproduct is formed which turns phenol red agar into yellow.So only those bacteria grow well which can ferment mannitol.
