(a) Is it true that 26.3 mpg gasoline translates to 319 g CO:/mi? i. Convert mpg (miles per gallon) to miles per kg (of gasoline) using the density of gasoline ii. Convert kg of gasoline to kg of C assuming the overall formula for gasoline is CıH1 s iii. Convert kg of C to kg of CO2 iv. Now finally compute g CO2/mi corresponding to 26.3 mpg and compare to 319 g CO:/mi

In Active Example 3-29 you calculated that you would have to work six weeks to earn enough money to buy a 1082.49 television. You would be working five shifts of four hours each at 9.25/hr. But, alas, when you received your first pay check, you found that exactly 23 of your earnings had been withheld for social security, federal and state income taxes, and workers compensation insurance. Taking these into account, how many weeks will it take to earn the 1082.49?
A tank contains 1000 L of pure water. Brine that contains 0.05 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 5 L/min. Separately, brine that contains 0.04 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 10 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at a rate of 15 L/min. Let y(t) be the amount of salt (in kg) aftert minutes. (a) How much salt is in the tank after t minutes? y(t) kg (b) How much salt is in the tank after 30 minutes? (Round the answer to one decimal place.) y(30) = kg
Carl is approaching the Canadian border on a trip from Vermont to Montreal, Canada, and the gas in his tank is low. He wants to determine if it would be more cost efficient to buy gas before or after crossing the border. He consults Gas Buddy and finds that the cost of gas in the US is 2.45 USD per gallon, while just across the border it is $1.40 CAD per liter. The currency exchange rate is $0.750 USD per $1.000 CAD. How much more gas (in gallons) will he get for $20 USD if he buys the gas before crossing the border instead of buying it in Canada? (1.000 liter = 0.264 US gallons).
Be sure to answer all parts. Enter your answer in scientific notation. Carry out the following calculation, paying special attention to significant figures, rounding, and units (J-joule, the SI unit of energy; mol = mole, the SI unit for amount of substance): (6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol) (4.68 x 10-18 J/atom)(1-2-3-2)=[25.051 Note that the numbers 1 and 3 in the last term are exact. x 10 J/mol
Since the pandemic has hit, more people are growing their own gardens and processing the fruits of their work. One thing that is flying off the shelves are spices for canning, such as alum. From this lab, you have seen how easy it is to prepare an alum, and the ingredients to make this are not difficult to obtain. You are going to make a batch of pickles and the recipe requires 6.05g of alum for each quart jar of pickles and you plan on making 50 jar of pickles. The % yield of making alum is only 84.4%. a. What is the actual yield of alum that you need to prepare to make your pickles? b. What is the theoretical yield of alum required to prepare the pickles? c. What mass of aluminum do you need to start with to make the required amount of alum for the preparation of the pickles?
A binary mixture contains 56 wt. 6 propane C3H8 (MW = 44 g/mol) and the remainder is butane C4H10 (MW = 58 g/mol). Determine the mol 46 of propane in the mixture. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to one decimal place, but do NOT include the percentage sign.
1. Certified Reference Material (CRM), GSS-5, is certified to contain 40.67 ± 3.33 mg/kg of Ni in soil. An analysis of the CRM gives values of 40.39, 41.98, 43.64, 44.38, and 45.96 mg/kg. Determine the tcalc. value and determine if your results differ from the expected results at the 90 % confidence level?
Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO2. How many pounds of CO2 would your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H2O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 27.3 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3.
The percentage of an additive in gasoline was measured six times with the following results: 0.13; 0.12; 0.16; 0.17; 0.20 and 0.11%. What is the 99% confidence interval for the additive percentage?
(b) Show the conversion of 3.27 mL of isopropanol to a mole value. (MW isopropanol 60.1 g/mol, density of isopropanol 786 kg/m³). Hint: how will you deal with the conversion of m³ to L? How will you deal with the differing magnitudes of units (g vs kg and mL vs L)?
A pheromone is a type of volatile compound produced by a variety of insect species for chemical communication. These molecules can be used to signal alarm, to attract a mate, or to indicate the presence of food. The presence of 1.00 x 10-8 g of a pheromone can be sensed by another insect within a radius of 0.500 miles. Calculate the density of this pheromone. (1609 m = 1 mile) %3D Calculate the density (g/L) of the pheromone in this cylindrical air space.
13) 16.0 grams of a certain food contain 130 calories. How many grams of this food would you need in order to consume 2150 calories? 14) The speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s. What is this speed in miles per hour? 15) If the gas in England costs £2.99/1, what is the cost in $/gal? (assume E1.00 = $1.50) 16) Calculate the density of mercury (13.6 g/cm) in units of kg/m³. 17) The daily dose of antibiotic for the treatment of an ear infection is 115 mg/kg of body weight. If the antibiotic tablets are available in 250. mg size, calculate the number of tablets that a 33.5 lb. child must take per day. 1 1
