Jane and Jack have a bicycling competition Jane rides a constant speed of 12 miles per hour while Jack rides at a constant speed

of 330 feet per minute. How fast are Jane and Jack going in meters per second? Who finishes first? Show your factor-label method work. There are 5280 feet in one mile. There are 3.281 feet in one meter

Answer:

Explanation:

I don't know how you want the conversion done. I use dimensional analysis.

Jane

12 miles / hour [1.6 km/1 mile][1000 m/1 km][1 hour / 3600 sec]

12 * [1.6 * 3600 / 1000  m/s] = 69.12 m/s

5.33 m/s      This answer is a bit shorter than using 5280 feet.

Using 5280 feet

12 miles / hour [5280 ft/1 mile] [1 m/3.281 feet] * [1 hr/3600 sec]

12 * 5280 / (3.281 * 3600)

12 *. 4470

5.36

Jack

330 feet / minute [ 1 meter / 3.281 feet] [1 minute / 60 seconds]

330 * 1/(3.281 * 60)

330 * 1/(196.86)

1.676 m/s

She's going faster than he is, no matter which method is used to do the calculation

How would you seprate a mixture of sand and salt?
lys-0071 [83]
First, you mix the salt and sand with water, so the salt dissolves. Next, you filter the sand out, so you have the slat water and sand separated. Then, you evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.

The solubility of oxygen gas in water at 40 ∘c is 1.0 mmol/l of solution. What is this concentration in units of mole fraction?
juin [17]

The formula for mole fraction is:

mole fraction of solute = \frac{number of moles of solute}{total number of moles of solution}    -(1)

The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L  (given)

1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.

Converting mmol to mol:

1.00 mmol\times \frac{1 mol}{1000 mmol} = 0.001 mol

So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol

For moles of water:

1 L of water = 1000 mL of water

Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Mass = 1.0 g/ml\times 1000 mL = 1000 g

So, the mass of water is 1000 g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.

Number of moles of water = \frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol} = 55.55 mol

Substituting the values in formula (1):

mole fraction = \frac{0.001}{55.55+0.001}

mole fraction = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

Hence, the mole fraction is 1.8\times 10^{-5}.

Answer:

1. (a) on land and offshore

2. (c) Boiling, evaporation and condensation

3.(d) Haematite and asphalt.

4. (a) octane

5.(d) petroleum gases, liquids and solids.

Explanation:

Cracking refers to the the breakdown of heavier fractions of crude oil to give the lighter fractions of crude oil having greater economic value. For instance, diesel oil may be cracked to yield gasoline which is composed of lighter hydrocarbons and has greater economic value. Cracking is of importance in the petroleum industry because it is used to produce lighter hydrocarbons from heavier ones.

Reforming is the conversion of straight chain hydrocarbons to branched chain hydrocarbons having a lesser tendency towards knocking of engines. It is very important in the petroleum industry because it leads to the production of better quality fuels with higher octane rating.

b) In Nigeria, oil producing communities are usually faced with the problem of damage to arable land due to oil exploration activities. Many oil producing communities in Nigeria are facing severe damage to the ecosystem due to oil drilling in those areas. Also, oil rich communities are at risk of crud oil spillage which contaminates water bodies and leads to loss of employment for the local people and death of aquatic animals.
