A barrel of crude oil has a volume of 42 gallons, only approximately 45% of which is processed into gasoline. If your car achiev

es 36 mi/gal, and you drive 36,000 miles in one year, how many barrels of crude oil are required to run your car for a year?

Answer:

The number of barrels of crude oil required to run the car for a year is 52.9 barrels of crude oil

Explanation:

The information given are as follows;

Percentage of crude oil processed into gasoline = 45%

Distance achieved per gallon by car = 36 mi/gal

Distance driven per year = 36,000 miles

Gasoline\,  usage \,  in \, one \,  year = \dfrac{Distance \  driven\  per \ year }{Distance\  achieved \ per gallon \ by \ car } = \dfrac{36000\, miles}{36\, miles/gallon}\dfrac{36000\, miles}{36\, miles/gallon} = 1000 \, gallons

∴ Gasoline usage in one year = 1,000 gallons

Percentage of crude oil processed into gasoline = 45%

Hence, where 45% of the crude oil produces 1000, the volume of crude, x, from which the gasoline is sourced becomes;

x × 45/100 = 1000 gallons

x =100 × 1000/45 = 20000/9 gallons of crude

1 barrel of crude oil is approximately 42 gallons of crude oil

∴ 20000/9 gallons of crude = 20000/(9×42) barells of crude = 10000/

Which gives;

52\tfrac{172}{189} \, barrels \, of \, crude \, oil

Which is 52.9 barrels of crude oil

Hence the number of barrels of crude oil required to run the car for a year = 52.9 barrels of crude oil.

What are the possible values of ml for l=2<br> ​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

-2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Explanation:

There are four types of quantum numbers;

1) Principal quantum number (n)

2) Azimuthal quantum number (l)

3) magnetic quantum number (ml)

4) Spin quantum number (s)

The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the orbital angular momentum and shape of an orbital while the magnetic quantum number shows the projections of the orbital angular momentum along a specified axis.  This implies that the magnetic quantum number shows the orientation of various orbitals along the Cartesian axes. The values of the magnetic quantum  number ranges from -l to + l

For l= 2, the possible values of the magnetic quantum number are; -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Starch and cellulose are both produced by plants, yet one is easily digested by animals and the other is not. Discuss the differ
Nadusha1986 [10]
<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>

How do the Carnivorous plants survive without soil?
Mkey [24]
Answer:

Carnivorous plants are easy to grow, if you follow a few, simple rules.

Wet all of the time.
Mineral-free water.
Mineral-free soil.
Lots of light.


Wet all of the time.
Carnivorous plants are native to bogs and similar nutrient-poor habitats. As a consequence, the plants live in conditions that are constantly damp. To grow healthy carnivorous plants, it is important to duplicate their habitat as closely as possible. Keep the soil wet or at least damp all of the time. The easiest way to do this is use the tray method. Set the pots in a tray or saucer, and keep water in it at all times. Pitcher plants can grow in soggy soil with the water level in the saucer as deep as 1/2 the pot, but most carnivorous plants prefer damp to wet soil, so keep the water at about 1/4 inch and refill as soon as it is nearly gone. Water from below, by adding water to the tray, rather than watering the plant. This will avoid washing away the sticky muscilage of the sundews and butterworts and keep from closing the flytraps with a false alarm.


Mineral-free water.
Always use mineral-free water with your carnivorous plants, such as rainwater or distilled water. Try keeping a bucket near the downspout to collect rainwater. Distilled water can be purchased at the grocery store, but avoid bottled drinking water. There are simply too many minerals in it. The condensation line from an air conditioner or heat pump is another source of mineral-free water. Reverse-osmosis water is fine to use. Carnivorous plants grow in nutrient poor soils. The minerals from tap water can “over-fertilize” and “burn out” the plants. In a pinch, tap water will work for a short while, but flush out the minerals with generous portions of rainwater, when it is available.


Mineral-free soil.
The nutrient poor soils to which the carnivorous plants have adapted are often rich in peat and sand. This can be duplicated with a soil mixture of sphagnum peat moss and horticultural sand. Be sure to check the peat label for sphagnum moss. Other types will not work well. The sand should be clean and washed. Play box sand is great, and so is horticultural sand. Avoid “contractor’s sand” which will contain fine dust, silt, clay and other minerals. Never use beach sand or limestone based sand. The salt content will harm the plants. The ratio of the mix is not critical, 1 part peat with 1 part sand works well for most carnivorous plants. Flytraps prefer a bit more sand, and nepenthes prefer much more peat. Use plastic pots, as terra cotta pots will leach out minerals over time and stress your plants.
