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.

The spectrochemical series is I < Br< < Cl^- < F
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

b. The splitting of the d-orbitals is smaller in the [Ni(Cl)6]4- complex than in the [Ni(en)3]2+ complex.

Explanation:

The spectrochemical series is an arrangement of ligands in increasing order of their magnitude of crystal field splitting.

Ligands that occurs towards the right in the series are called strong field ligands and they tend to cause a greater magnitude of crystal field splitting. Ligands that occur towards the left hand side in the series are called weak field ligands and they tend to cause a lesser magnitude of crystal field splitting.

Since Cl^- is a weak field ligand, it causes a lesser magnitude of d orbital splitting compared to ethylenediammine (en) which causes a greater magnitude of d orbital splitting.

Hence; the splitting of the d-orbitals is smaller in the [Ni(Cl)6]4- complex than in the [Ni(en)3]2+ complex.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of Na₂S and CdSO₄. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the ph
Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction equation that contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is known as a balanced chemical reaction equation.

For example, Na_{2}S(aq) + CdSO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + CdS(s)

Here, number of reactant molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

Number of product molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

As there are already equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Also, in this reaction both Na_{2}S and CdSO_{4} are present as aqueous solution. And, CdS is the precipitate that is formed as it is the insoluble solid that forms.

Na_{2}SO_{4} is present in aqueous state.

Draw the mechanism for the addition of methylmagnesium bromide to propanoyl chloride (CH3CH2COCl) to give 2-methyl-2-butanol.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Reaction mechanism has been given below

Explanation:

  • Propanoyl chloride contains an electrophilic carbonyl center to give  nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction by removing Cl group with a strong nucleophile like methylmagnesium bromide.
  • Two equivalent of methyl magnesium bromide react with cabonyl center followed by protonation of negatively charged oxygen atom gives 2-methyl-2-butanol.
  • In the first step, nucleophilic acyl substituion occurs. In the second step, nucleophilic addition occurs. In the third step, protonation occurs.
  • Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
