Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg

If 24 moles oxygen gas combined with 24 moles hydrogen gas, what would be the limiting reactant?
dsp73
Hydrogen, since in H2O there are two hydrogen atoms per one oxygen atom. So the hydrogen atoms would run out first so that there are 12 H2O molecules, where all the hydrogen is used and there are 12 oxygen atoms left over

What makes the atomic radius change down a column of the periodic table
Olin [163]

As you go across a period, radius shrinks because you are adding protons. The added positive charge increases pull on the electron shells.  

As you go down a group, radius gets larger because you are increasing shells of electrons. This increases shielding of the nucleus' positive charge, so the electrons are not pulled in as much.

Which property of water makes it helpful to use in car radiators?
Zolol [24]
Water has a high specific heat. It needs to absorb 4.184 Joules of heat for one gram of water to increase its temperature by 1 degree celsius.

Water in car radiators is used as coolant because it takes longer to heat up. It needs to absorb large amount of heat energy before it changes its temperature and begins to get hot.
