Determine the mass of fuel required for the expected energy consumption in the united states for the next ten years. energy use per person per year in the united states = 3.5 x 1011joules base calculations on current population of 310,000,000.

In a ni-cd battery, a fully charged cell is composed of nickelic hydroxide. nickel is an element that has multiple oxidation states. assume the following proportions of the states: nickel charge proportions found 0 0.17 +2 0.3 +3 0.33 +4 0.5 (a) determine the mean of the nickel charge. enter the answer to 2 decimal places.(b) determine the cumulative distribution function of nickel charge.

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.
