222 g of MTBE (CO(CH3)4) are added to gasoline, resulting in a total volume of 2 L of reformulated gas (RFG). Assume that the de

nsity of RFG is 0.70 g/mL, and the density of MTBE is 0.74 g/mL. For a-d, determine the concentration of MTBE in the RFG in the following units?
a. mg/L
b. moles/L
c. % (w/w)

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

(a)

Concentration \ in \ mg/L = \dfrac{Mass \ of \ MTBE \ in \ mg}{Total \ volume (in \ L)}

Concentration \ in \ mg/L = \dfrac{222 \times 10^3 \ mg}{22}

Concentration \ in \ mg/L = 111 \times 10^3 \ mg/L

(b)

number \ of \ mole s= \dfrac{mass}{molar \ mass } \\ \\ number \ of \ mole s=\dfrac{222 \ g}{88.15 \ g/mol} \\ \\ \mathbf{= 2.518 mol}

(c)

w/w \ percentage = \dfrac{mass \ of \ MTBE }{mass \ of \ solution (RFG)}\times 100\%

where; \\ \\ mass \  of \  (RFG) = 2L \times 0.70 g/mL \\ \\ mass \  of \  (RFG) = 2000 ml \times 0.70 g/mL \\ \\ mass \ of \ (RFG) = 1400 g

∴

w/w \ percentage = \dfrac{222 \ g}{1400 \ g}\times 100\% = \mathbf{15.8\%}

(d)

Volume of MTBE =\dfrac{mass \ of \ MTBE}{density \ of \ MTBE}

Volume \ of \ MTBE = 300 \ mL\\

∴

v/v\% = \dfrac{volume \ of \ MTBE}{volume \ of \ RFG} \\ \\ v/v\% =\dfrac{300 \ mL}{2000 \ mL}\times 100\% \\ \\ \mathbf{v/v\% = 15.00\%}

(e)

From \the  \ given \  information; \\ \\ 2.5184 \ moles\ of  \ MTBE contain  \ 2.5184  \ mole of oxygen

∴

mass of oxygen MTBE = 2.5284 mol \times 16\ g/mol \\ \\ mass of oxygen MTBE = 40.3 9 \ g\\ \\ mass\ of \ RFG = 1400 g

∴

\% w/w = \dfrac{mass \ of \ oxygen}{mass \ of RFG }=\dfrac{40.22 \ g}{1400 \ g} \times 100\%

\% w/w == 2.88\%

Each A atom is adjacent to 3 B atoms. What is the A-C-B bond angle?
Nutka1998 [239]
Using the simulation to build a system with 5 bonds. The resulting structure is called the Trigonal bipyramidal structure. The two different sites in a trigonal bipyramid are labeled as A and B in the drawing to the right. 
In this case, therefore, the bond angle A-C-B is 90 Degrees (right angle)

To what volume in millimeters must 50.0 mL of 18.0 M H2SO4 be diluted to obtain 4.35 M H2SO4?
poizon [28]
We know that to relate solutions of with the factors of molarity and volume, we can use the equation: M_{1}  V_{1} = M_{2}  V_{2}

**NOTE: The volume as indicated in this question is defined in L, not mL, so that conversion must be made. However it is 1000 mL = 1 L.

So now we can assign values to these variables. Let us say that the 18 M H_{2}  SO_{4} is the left side of the equation. Then we have:

(18 M)(0.050 L)=(4.35M) V_{2}

We can then solve for V_{2}:

V_{2}= \frac{(18M)(0.05L)}{4.35M} and V_{2} =0.21 L or 210 mL

We now know that the total amount of volume of the 4.35 M solution will be 210 mL. This is assuming that the entirety of the 50 mL of 18 M is used and the rest (160 mL) of water is then added.

What is the process called to prepare a ceramic by heating a slurry of a powder of an inorganic substance in water to a very hig
Zolol [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The process that is used to prepare ceramic is sintering.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sintering is defined as the process in which number of particles are fused together to form one solid mass by the applying pressure at high temperatures.

Ceramic is an material that is made by taking mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders and water.

When this mixture (slurry of the powders) is heated at a very high temperature and under high pressure, ceramic is formed.

Hence, the process that is used to prepare ceramic is sintering.
