Answer the following questions:
(a) An old rule of thumb in cooking says: "A pines a pound the world around." What is the density in g/mL of a substance for which 1 pt = 1 lb exactly?
(b) There are exactly 640 acres in 1 square mile. How many square meters are in 1 acre?
(c) A certain type of wood has a density of 0.40 g/cm3. What is the mass of 1.0 cord of this wood in kg, where 1 cord is 128 cubic feet of wood?
(d) A particular sample of crude oil has a density of 0.85 g/mL. What is the mass of 1.00 barrel of this crude oil in kg, where a barrel of oil is exactly 42 gallons?
(e) A gallon of ice cream contains exactly 32 servings, and each serving has 165 Calories, of which 30.0% are derived from fat. How many Calories derived from fat would you consume if you ate one half-gallon of ice cream?

HOOC H₂NIC H 川 CH3 CH,CH3 Draw the Newman projection in staggered conformation for isoleucine by viewing the molecule along the C-2-C-3 bond. 1. Edit the Newman projection on the canvas. 2. Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures. Only replace them! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 0 2 H± 3D EXP. L ד י CONT. 2 H 0 N оarrow_forward
