a. How long a trip, in kilometers, can be made on one full tank of gasoline?
b. If the price of gasoline is $3.82 per gallon, what would be the cost of fuel for the trip?
c. If the average speed during the trip is 44mi/h how many ours will it take to reach the destination?
d. If the density of gasoline is 0.74g/mL, what is the mass, in grams, of the fuel in the tank?
e. When 1.00gof gasoline burns, 47kJ of energy is released. How many kilojoules are produced when the fuel in one full tank is burned?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part(a) 327.25Kmlong trip can be made on full tank of gasoline.

Part(b) $18.5is cost of fuel for the trip.

Part(c) Time taken to complete the trip is 4.622h

Part(d) 16280g is the mass of fuel in the tank.

Part(e) 1034000kJEnergy is released when the fuel in one full tank is burned .

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We are given mileage of motorcycle with fuel tank capacity.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know 1mi/gal=0.425Km/L

So, 35mi/gal=35×0.425Km/L=14.875Km/L

Fuel-tank capacity is 22L

Therefore, 14.875Km/Lmeans in 22L motorcycle can cover a trip of 14.875KmL×22L=327.25Km

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We are given mileage of motorcycle with fuel tank capacity.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know 1gal=3.875L

Therefore, 22L=4.84gal

The price of gasoline is $3.82pergal

So, 4.84gal=4.84gal×$3.82gal=$18.5

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We are given mileage of motorcycle with fuel tank capacity.

06

Part(c) Step 2 : Simplify

As we know, 1mi/h=1.609Km/h

therefore, 44mi/h=44×1.609Kmh=70.8Km/h

Average speed is 70.8Km/h

Total distance = 327.5Km

so, DistanceTime=averagespeed

70.8Km/h=327.25Kmtimetime=4.622h

Time taken to complete the trip is 4.622h

07

Part(d) Step 1 : Given information

We are given mileage of motorcycle with fuel tank capacity.

08

Part(d) Step 2 : Simplify

Density of gasoline is 0.74g/ml

Capacity of tank is 22L=22000mL

Density is mass divided by volume,

Therefore mass of fuel is 0.74gmL=mass22000mL=16280g

09

Part(e) Step 1: Given information

We are given mileage of motorcycle with fuel tank capacity.

10

Part(e) Step 2 : Simplify

As given, Energy produced is 47kJ/g

so, in full fuel tank energy produced will be 1g=47kJ22000g=1034000kJ
