Answer:
Math expression: [tex]=\frac{0.77\ g/ml*5200\ ml}{1\ g} *45.0\ kJ[/tex]
Explanation:
Given:
Energy produced per gram of gasoline = 45.0 kJ
Density of gasoline = 0.77 g/ml
Volume of gasoline = 5.2 L=5200 ml
To determine:
The amount of energy produced by burning 5.2 L gasoline
Calculation set-up:
1. Calculate the mass (m) of gasoline given the density (d) and volume (v)
[tex]m = d*v\\\\m = 0.77 g/ml*5200 ml[/tex]
2. Calculate the amount of energy produced
[tex]=\frac{0.77\ g/ml*5200\ ml}{1\ g} *45.0\ kJ=180180 kJ[/tex]
