Taking into account the change of units, the size of the tank is 54.88 liters.

In first place, the rule of three is a tool used to quickly solve problems involving a proportional relationship between two variables.

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three should be applied.

The rule of three is applied as follows, with A, B and C being known values and D being an unknown value: if A maintains a certain relationship with B, and it is known that C and D have the same relationship, it is possible to calculate the unknown value D using the following expression:

$D=\frac{CxB}{A}$

In this case, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 gallon is equal to 3.785 liters, 14.5 gallons are equal to how many liters?

$D=\frac{14.5 gallonsx3.785 liters}{1 gallon}$

Solving:

D= 54.88 liters

In summary, the size of the tank is 54.88 liters.

Answer:

54.883, so rougly about 54.9 liters.

Explanation:

To convert gallons to liters, multiply the amount of gallons by 3.785.

14.5 * 3.785 = 54.883

When pH changes from 6 to 3, how many times does acidity increase?

photoshop1234 [79]

Since a pH of 3 is three numbers higher than a pH of 6, we can find the change in acidity by taking 10 to the third power. The solution with a pH of 3 is 1000 times more acidic than the solution with a pH of 6.

Define density of a substance.

ozzi

Answer:

density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. ... Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units).

If 1.76 g of an ideal gas occupy 1.0 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP), what is the molar mass of the gas?

ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Whenever you see molar masses in gas law questions, more often than not density will be involved. This question is no different. To solve this, however, we will first need to play with the combined ideal gas equation PV=nRT to make it work for density and molar mass. The derivation is simple but for the sake of time and space, I will skip it. Hence, just take my word for it that you will end up with the equation:M=dRTPM = molar mass (g/mol)d = density (g/L)R = Ideal Gas Constant (≈0.0821atm⋅Lmol⋅K) T = Temperature (In Kelvin) P = Pressure (atm)As an aside, note that because calculations with this equation involve molar mass, this is the only variation of the ideal gas law in which the identity of the gas plays a role in your calculations. Just something to take note of. Back to the problem: Now, looking back at what we're given, we will need to make some unit conversions to ensure everything matches the dimensions required by the equation:T=35oC+273.15= 308.15 KV=300mL⋅1000mL1L= 0.300 LP=789mmHg⋅1atm760mmHg= 1.038 atmSo, we have almost everything we need to simply plug into the equation. The last thing we need is density. How do we find density? Notice we're given the mass of the sample (0.622 g). All we need to do is divide this by volume, and we have density:d=0.622g0.300L= 2.073 g/LNow, we can plug in everything. When you punch the numbers into your calculator, however, make sure you use the stored values you got from the actual conversions, and not the rounded ones. This will help you ensure accuracy.M=dRTP=(2.073)(0.0821)(308.15)1.038= 51 g/molRounded to 2 significant figuresNow if you were asked to identify which element this is based on your calculation, your best bet would probably be Vandium (molar mass 50.94 g/mol). Hope that helped :)
