My sporty mini van needs 19,126 kJ of energy in order to pass a fast moving street sweeper on the road. Using the following equation, determine how many grams of gasoline (C8H18) will be used up in order to make this happen. 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 --> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O \DeltaΔH = -10,990 kJ

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
