If your car gets 30.3 mi/gal, how many gallons of gasoline would you use if you drove 506.3 miles? 1 mile = 5280 ft (exactly) In
2 answers:
Answer : The number of gallons of gasoline needed are 16.7 gallons
Explanation :
As we are given that the car traveled 30.3 mi/gal. Now we have to determine the number of gallons of gasoline needed in 506.03 miles.
As, 30.3 miles car traveled in = 1 gallon
and, 1 miles car traveled in =
So, 506.3 miles car traveled in =
= 16.7 gallons
Therefore, the number of gallons of gasoline needed are 16.7 gallons

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.
Step 2 : Set up ICE table
We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction
Following points are considered while drawing ICE table
- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0
- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products
- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation
The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as
Step 4 : Solving for x
Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9
Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table
81.9 =
81.9 =
Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get
x = 0.488 or x = 0.254
The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.
Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M
Hence, x = 0.254 M
From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x
The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M
