Answer:

87.4 J

Explanation:

The density of the gasoline is 0.70 g/mL, and the density of the ethanol is 0.79 g/mL. The heat combustions (the heat released in a combustion reaction) are 5,400 kJ/mol for gasoline, and 1,370 kJ/mol for ethanol.

For 3.5 L of E85, the volumes of gasoline and ethanol are:

Vgasoline = 0.15 * 3.5 = 0.525 L = 5.25x10⁻⁴ mL

Vethanol= 0.85 * 3.5 = 2.975 L = 2.975x10⁻³ mL

The mass of gasoline and ethanol presented in that sample of E85 is the volume multiplied by the density:

mgasoline = 5.25x10⁻⁴ * 0.70 = 3.675x10⁻⁴ g

methanol = 2.975x10⁻³ * 0.79 = 2.35025x10⁻³ g

The number of moles for each substance is it mass divided by its molar mass. The molar masses are 114 g/mol for gasoline, and 46 g/mol for ethanol:

ngasoline = 3.675x10⁻⁴/114 = 3.224x10⁻⁶ mol

nethanol = 2.35025x10⁻³ /46 = 5.109x10⁻⁵ mol

The energy released is the heat combustion multiplied by the number of moles, so:

Egasoline = 5,400 * 3.224x10⁻⁶ = 0.0174 kJ = 17.4 J

Eethanol = 1,370 * 5.109x10⁻⁵ = 0.07 kJ = 70 J

So, the energy released by the E85 is the sum of the energy released by ethanol and gasoline:

The energy released by E85 = 87.4 J

Which of the answer choices correctly describes a solvent made of molecules that have areas of partial positive and negative cha
damaskus [11]

Answer: polar solvent

Explanation:

Polarity can be said to mean, charge separation. Thus, polar solvents are solvents that have charge separation and the ability to solvate i.e dissolve ions.

A polar solvent molecule has slight electrical charge as a result of its shape. A typical and most common example is water, with an oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. The two hydrogen atoms are at an angle to the single oxygen atom. Water is the classic polar solvent. The oxygen atom tends to polarize electron density to itself.

Explain how temperature and precipitation are affected by latitude and the sun's rays.
Contact [7]
Latitude and Temperature

At the equator, the Sun's rays are most direct. This is where temperatures are highest. At higher latitudes, the Sun's rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the equator, the lower its temperature.

Which solid conducts electricity most efficiently?
irina1246 [14]

We see that is the <em>structure </em>of graphite it possess these attributes.

Graphite

Option A

<h3>Electricity</h3>

Generally, he conduction of electricity is do by elements with free talent electron after bonding.

Therefore, it is save to say that the <em>solid </em>that possess the attributes that allows for conduction will end up conducting.

Hence, we see that is the <em>structure </em>of graphite it possess these attributes.

Graphite

Option A
