Chapter 1, Problem 83RQ
Some time ago, a U.S. citizen traveling in Canada observed that the price of regular gasoline was 1.299 Canadian dollars per liter. The exchange rate at the time was 1.001 Canadian dollars per one U.S. dollar. Calculate the price of the Canadian gasoline in units of U.S. dollars per gallon. (Just the week before, the traveler had paid $3.759 per gallon in the United States.)

Suppose you have a car which gets 51 miles per gallon of gasoline in the city. Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline? (Note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, 1 gallon = 3.78541 L)
In the United States, car fuel efficiency is expressed in miles per gallon of gasoline. However, fuel efficiency can also be expressed in kilometers per liter of gasoline. If the fuel efficiency of a car is 11.0 km/L, what is its fuel efficiency in miles per gallon? [1 mile = 1.61 km, 1 gallon = 3.79 L]

- Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping" when converting quantities or performing calculations. • When converting quantities from one unit to another, conversion factors are used. Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units: If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km? • Let's also assume that my car gets an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.arrow_forwardThe quantitative significance of “take a deep breath" varies, of course, with the individual. When one person did so, she found that she inhaled 3.62x10^22 molecules of the mixture of mostly nitrogen and oxygen we call air.

When making this solution in the lab, the student measured 50.0 ml of water in a measuring cylinder and added that to a beaker. Then the student massed 17.1 grams of sucrose and added it to that beaker. She then mixed the solution well and poured the resulting solution into a graduated cylinder. To her utter shock, the volume of the solution was now 62.0 mL. Explain what happened.
