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 2.21 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).

Answer:

4.02 gallons

Explanation:

From the illustration:

$0.750 USD = $1.00 CAD

Therefore,

$20 USD =  20 x 1/0.750 = $26.667 CAD

The cost of gas in the US is 2.21 USD per gallon.

20 USD will be able to get 20/2.21 = 9.05 gallons

The cost of gas across the border is 1.40 CAD per liter.

0.264 gallon = 1 liter

1 gallon = 1/0.264 = 3.788 liters

This means that 1 gallon = 3.788 x 1.40 = 5.303 CAD

Hence, 26.667 CAD will get 26.667/5.303 = 5.03 gallons

<em>If he buys a $20 USD gas before crossing the border, Carl will get 9.05 gallons, but if he buys it after crossing the border, he will get 5.03 gallons. Therefore, if he buys the gas before crossing the border instead of buying it in Canada, he will get 9.05 - 5.03 = 4.02 gallons extra.</em>

How many moles of BCl3 are needed to produce 10.0 g of HCl(aq) in the following reaction? (HCl molar mass is 36.46 g/mol).
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Moles of BCl₃ needed = 0.089 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of BCl₃ needed = ?

Mass of HCl produced = 10.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

BCl₃ + 3H₂O  →     3HCl + B(OH)₃

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/ 36.46 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.27 mol

Now we will compare the moles of HCl with BCl₃.

               HCl             :           BCl₃

                 3               :             1

             0.27             :            1/3×0.27 = 0.089 mol

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is ________ the free energy of the reactants. In a favorable reaction,
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is less than the free energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

The free energy of a system is the amount of a system's internal energy that is available to perform work. The different forms of free energy include Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz free energy.

In a system at constant temperature and pressure, the energy that can be converted into work or the amount of usable energy in that system is known as Gibbs free energy. In a system at constant temperature and volume, the energy that can be converted into work is known as Helmholtz free energy.

The change in free energy of a system is the maximum usable energy that is released or absorbed by a system when it goes from the initial state (i.e., all reactants) to the final state (i.e., all products).

In a chemical reaction, some bonds in the reactants are broken by absorbing energy and new bonds are formed in the products by releasing energy. As the reaction proceeds, the free energy of reactants is much greater than the products. As the products are formed, the concentration of reactants decreases and the difference in their free energy also decreases. This chemical reaction will occur until chemical equilibrium is achieved i.e., the free energy of the products and reactants is equal and the difference in their free energy is zero.
