THERMODYNAMICS; SOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY In order to save on imported fuel, Philippine researchers propose blending diesel with coconut methyl ester (CME) or cocodiesel derived from trans-esterification of high grade coconut oil. The mixture of these two compounds is called CME-Diesel Blend. The density of CME is 785 kg/m^3 while that of diesel is 885 kg/m^3. If a 150 L fuel tank of a truck is fully filled with CME-Diesel Blend with a density of 840 kg/m^3, how many kilograms of CME and diesel are in the tank?
