Answer:

The mileage of the car is 51.75 mil/gal.

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car = 275 km = $\frac{275}{1.609} mile$

1 Mile = 1.609 kilometer

Volume of gasoline used by the car = 12.5 L = $\frac{12.5}{3.785} gal$

1 gallon = 3.785 Liter

Mileage of the car :

= $\frac{\frac{275}{1.609} mile}{\frac{12.5}{3.785} gal}$

$=51.75 mil/gal$

The mileage of the car is 51.75 mil/gal.

Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid, ch3cooh. a 5.00 ml sample of a particular vinegar requires 26.90 ml of 0.175 m na

Fed [463]

The molarity of acetic acid in the vinegar is 0.94 M

<u><em> calculation</em></u>

Step 1: write the balanced equation between CH3COOH + NaOH

that is CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

step 2 : find the moles of NaOH

moles =molarity x volume in L

volume in liters = 26.90/1000=0.0269 l

moles = 0.175 mol /L x 0.0269 L =0.0047 moles of NaOH

Step 3: use the mole ratio to find moles of CH3COOH

that is the mole ratio of CH3COOH: NaOH is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3COOH is =0.0047 moles

Step 4: find the molarity of CH3COOH

molarity = moles/volume in liters

volume in liter = 5.00/1000 =0.005 l

molarity is therefore=0.0047 moles/ 0.005 l = 0.94 M

A gold atom has a radius of 145 pm. If you could string gold atoms like beads on a thread, how many atoms would you need to have

dalvyx [7]

First we have to convert:145 pm = 145 * 10^(-12) m36 cm = 360 mm = 360 * 10^(-3) mn = 360 * 10^(-3) m / 145 * 10^(-12) m = = 360 * 10^(-3) * 10^(12) / 145 = = 2.482758621 * 10^(9) or:2,482,758,621 atoms.

Describe how to use Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the possible ways a chemical system can respond to changes.

Andre45 [30]

Le Chatelier's principle simply explains how equilibria change as you change the conditions of a reaction. If you have a reaction that is at equilibrium lets say (A + 2B <--> C + D) by removing C or D we can drive the reaction forward and products more products. I can provide a more in-depth description if needed.

What role do the coefficients serve in a chemical reaction?

dem82 [27]

First one. Coefficients are numbers that balance the equation, just like if there is an equation in math where 1=2, you need to multiply 1 by 2 to make that equation true. That's a nice jingle you can remember.
