The stoichiometric ratio is approximately:
14.7:1
The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
phase transition
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?
nucleus
The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.
According to Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional:
\( \frac{P_1}{P_2} \) = \( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \)
In this problem, V2 = 10 ft.3, V1 = 30 ft.3 and P1 = 6.0 psi. Solving for P2:
P2 = \( \frac{P_1}{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \) = \( \frac{6.0 psi}{\frac{10 ft.^3}{30 ft.^3}} \) = 18 psi
Solve for c:
2c + 2 < 8 - 8c
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
2c + 2 < 8 - 8c
2c < 8 - 8c - 2
2c + 8c < 8 - 2
10c < 6
c < \( \frac{6}{10} \)
c < \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?
formed 2.6 billion years ago
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
What is 4a7 - 9a7?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
4a7 - 9a7 = -5a7
The envelope of gases surrounding the planet is called the:
atmosphere
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen
Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.
