You are a NASCAR pit crew member. Your employer is leading the race with 20 laps to go. He just finished a pit stop and has 5.0

gallons of fuel in the tank. On the way out of the pits, he asks, "Am I going to have enough fuel to finish the race or am I going to have to make another pit stop?" You whip out your calculator and begin your calculations based on your knowledge of stoichiometry. Other information you know is: The car uses an average of 300.0 grams of O2 for each lap. The formula for fuel is C5H12. The fuel has a density of 700 g/gal. What do you tell the driver? (The density can be used as a conversion factor between grams and gallons)

Answer:

Since there are 3500 g of fuel left in the tank, and he needs only 1687.5 g to complete 20 laps, he has enough fuel to complete the race. I will tell the driver that he does not need to make another pit stop as he has enough fuel to complete the race.

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Density of fuel = 700 g/ 1 gal

Therefore, the mass of fuel in 1 gallon = 700 g

The driver has 5.0 gallons of fuel in the tank.

The mass of 5.0 gallons of fuel = 5 × 700 = 3500 g of fuel

Equation of the combustion of fuel, C₅H₁₂ is given below:

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ ---> 6 H₂O + 5 CO₂

1 mole C₅H₁₂ requires 8 moles of O₂

1 mole of C₅H₁₂ has a mass = 72 g

8 moles of O₂ has a mass = 256 g

Therefore, 300 g of O₂ will require 300 × (72/256) g of C₅H₁₂ = 84.375 g of C₅H₁₂

84.375 g of fuel is used by the car per lap;

20 laps will require 20 × 84.375 g of fuel = 1687.5 g of fuel.

Since there are 3500 g of fuel left in the tank, and he needs only 1687.5 g to complete 20 laps, he has enough fuel to complete the race. I will tell the driver that he does not need to make another pit stop as he has enough fuel to complete the race.

1.674×10-4 mol of an unidentified gaseous substance effuses through a tiny hole in 86.6 s. Under identical conditions, 1.715×10-
siniylev [52]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

44.06 g/mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Number of moles of unidentified gas as 1.674×10^-4 mol
  • Time of effusion of unidentified gas 86.6 s
  • Number of moles of Argon gas as 1.715×10^-4 mol
  • Time of effusion of Argon gas is 84.5 s

We are supposed to calculate the molar mass of unidentified gas

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the effusion rates of each gas</h3>

Effusion rate = Number of moles/time

Effusion rate of unidentified gas (R₁)

 =  1.674×10^-4 mol ÷ 86.6 s

 = 1.933 × 10^-6 mol/s

Effusion rate of Argon gas (R₂)

 = 1.715×10^-4 mol ÷ 84.5 sec

= 2.030 × 10^-6 mol/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of unidentified gas</h3>
  • Assuming the molar mass of unidentified gas is x;
  • We can use the Graham's law of effusion to find x;
  • According to Graham's law of diffusion;

\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{MM_{Ar}}}{\sqrt{X}}

But, Molar mass of Argon is 39.948 g/mol

Therefore;

\frac{1.933*10^-6mol/s}{2.030*10^-6mol/s}}=\frac{\sqrt{39.948}}{\sqrt{X}}

0.9522=\frac{\sqrt{39.948}}{\sqrt{X}}

Solving for X

x = 44.06 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of the identified gas is 44.06 g/mol

Lithium diisopropylamide [(CH3)2CH]2NLi, referred to as LDA, enjoys many uses as a strong base in synthetic organic chemistry. I
meriva

Answer:

Lithium diisopropylamide [(CH3)2CH]2NLi.

Explanation:

Lithium diisopropylamide (commonly abbreviated LDA) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula [(CH3)2CH]2NLi. It is used as a strong base and has been widely accepted due to its good solubility in non-polar organic solvents and non-nucleophilic nature. It is a colorless solid, but is usually generated and observed only in solution. It was first prepared by Hamell and Levine in 1950 along with several other hindered lithium diorganylamides to effect the deprotonation of esters at the α position without attack of the carbonyl group.

Describe the three states of matter in terms of shape and volume
abruzzese [7]
Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.

A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.

A solid will only occupy its original shape.

Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.

A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed. 

Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.

This is actually very hard to describe.
