You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 26,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,500 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be?

In an experiment, a student was asked to measure the densities of liquid acetone and metallic chromium. He was given a pycnometer which weighed 26.880 g empty. When filled with water and stoppered, the mass was recorded as 54.992g at 28C. The pycnometer was cleaned and filled with acetone. The mass was 49.137 g. Again, the flask was cleaned and dried. Into it were added some chunks of chromium and the total was found to weight 78.666 g. Leaving the chromium in the pycnometer, it was then filled with acetone. The flask, metal and acetone were found to weigh 95.199 g. From this data, calculate the density of acetone and the density of chromium (show all your calculations).
Chicago uses 1.2x10^9gallons of water/day. How many liters per second must be pumped from the lake every second to supply the city? (1 gal= 3.79 L)
On December 1, 1783, Jacque Charles became the first human to pilot a non-tethered hydrogen balloon. He flew the balloon for fifteen miles and stayed in the air for a total flight time of 45 minutes. The balloon was made of silk coated with a thin layer of natural rubber and had a diameter of 27 feet. He generated the hydrogen gas needed to lift the balloon by mixing a large amount of iron with aqueous sulfuric acid. If he used 1 x 103 lbs. of iron and excess sulfuric acid, how many liters of hydrogen gas were made? Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) = FeSO4 (aq) + H2(g)
The following calculation represents what the worker did prior to the flight: 7,682 liters x 1.77 lb/L= 13,597 lb (where d=1.77 lb/L) 22,300 kg - 13,597 kg= 8,703 kg = mass of additional fuel required 8,703 kg / (1.77 lb/L) = 4,917 = volume of additional fuel required Based on your calculations above and the worker’s calculation, (1) where was the mistake made? And (2) how much more fuel would have needed to be added than the worker added to successfully complete the flight ?
A polluted stream flows at 1 MGD carrying a concentration of 1 mg/L of a conservative pollutant such as nickel. What is the mass flowrate of the pollutant downstream in Ib/day? 1 lb = 453.592 grams, 1 gal = 3.785 liter
One student calibrated a 50-mL burette by using the mass of water delivered. The student used an analytical balance which was previously calibrated by STEEL (density = 7.8 g/mL). During calibration, the temperature of water was found to be 19.0oC. The density of water at this temperature is 0.9984 g/mL. The results of the calibration by the student is shown in the table below: Apparent burette reading, mL A-10.05 ml, B- 20.04ml, C- 30.08ml, D- 40.07 ml, E- 49.98ml Weight H2O delivered, g A -10.03g, B- 20.09g, C- 30.05g, D- 40.02g, E- 49.83g 35.

One of the principal components of gasoline is octane 10 (C_8H_{18}; MW= 114.23 g/mol). What mass of oxygen gas (O_2; 32.00 g/mol) from the air is consumed in the combustion of 702 g of octane? The unbalanced chemical equation is shown below. * C3H18(1) + 02(g) → CO2(g)+ H20(9)
Liquid octane ( C8H18 ) has a density of 0.7025 g/mL at 20 °C. Find the true mass ( ?true ) of octane when the mass weighed in air is 16.670 g. Assume the air density is 0.0012 g/mL and the balance weight density is 7.8 g/mL.
You have decided to go on a road trip with your friends to Joshua Tree National Park (the desert!) in September. There is a total of 5 of you going and you are planning on staying for 3 full days. You are unsure if your car can handle the weight of the water you want to bring. After accounting for the mass of every person in the car, you can hold up to 125 pounds of water. You identity you will need 1.85 gallons of water for each person for each day you are staying. What mass, in pounds, of water would this require you to bring? Use the density of water of 1.00 g/ml.
