While in Europe, if you drive 101 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal ? Assume that 1euro=1.26dollars.
If a car is traveling at 43.0 miles per hour, contains 3 gallons of gas, and gets 22.5 miles per gallon, can it travel to a station 114.9 km away?
If so how many hours will it take? How much gas (if any) is left upon arrival?
If not, how far will it go before it runs out of gas? How much more gas would it need to reach the destination?
The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895. Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities. Their experimentally determined densities are:
Oxygen 1.42952 g/L
Nitrogen 1.25718 g/L
Air 1.29327 g/L
1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas. He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?

(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. (b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: we will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gasesfor now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of 2 per liter.) (c) The heat of combustion of propane is 2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, Hf of propane given that Hf of H2O(l)=285.8 kJ/mol and Hf of CO2(g)=393.5 kJ/mol. (d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.arrow_forward
