Question
The volume of water in large scale reservoirs is often measured in units of an acre-foot, which is the amount of water covering one acre of surface to a depth of one foot. An acre-foot is equivalent to 43,560 ft³. A particular water tower in town was constructed to hold 2.55 acre-feet of water. What is the volume of water in liters that the water tower will hold? ( 1 US liquid gallon = 231 cubic inches, 3.785 liters = 1 US liquid gallon)

- Tums is a popular remedy for acid indigestion. A typical Tums tablet contains calcium carbonate mixed with inert substances. When ingested, it reacts with stomach acids (hydrochloric acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas. When a 1.201 g Tums tablet reacted with 42.035 mL of hydrochloric acid (density: 1.140 g/mL), carbon dioxide gas was produced and the resulting solution weighed 48.941 g. Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide gas released. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas released. The density of carbon dioxide is 1.18 g/Larrow_forwardA house has an area of 221 m2m2.

- The mass of one atom or molecule of a substance is given in atomic mass units, also called Daltons (abbreviated D or Da). Thus one molecule of water has a mass of 18.015 atomic mass units, or 18.015 Daltons. The atomic mass unit is defined such that one mole of water weighs 18.015 g. Suppose a protein has a mass of 64 192 Daltons (or 64.192 kDa). What would be the mass of one mole of this protein? O A. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1028 g/mol. B. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol. C. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol. D. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 64.192 g/mol. E. This question can't be answered without knowing the number of atoms in the protein. F. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 6.4192 x 10-2 g/mol. G. A protein of 64 192 Da has a molar mass of 3.866 x 1025 g/mol. H.
