backpackers often use canisters of white gas to fuel a cooking stove's burner. if one canister contains 1.45 l of white gas, and the density of the gas is 0.710 g/cm3 , what is the mass of the fuel in kilograms?

Respuesta :

The mass of fuel in kilograms is 1.03 kg.

How do you calculate the mass of fuel?

  • To find the mass, divide the amount of energy required by the amount of energy released per gramme of fuel. The kilojoule units will cancel out, leaving us with grammes.
  • A simple multiplication can be used to calculate the fuel mass flow rate from the fuel to air ratio. The engine air flow rate is normally determined by nozzle conditions. The fuel to air ratio value can be used to calculate the engine's specific fuel consumption.

Steps of the equation:

The density of the gas sample in the canister is 0.710 grams/cm³.

We will use the density to relate the given volume of the canister (1.45 L) to determine the mass in kilograms of the fuel contained in one canister. We need to convert first the given volume in liters to cm³.

1000cm3=1L

The calculation will be:

Volume = 1.45L(1000cm/31L)

Volume=1.45×10³cm³

We can now determine the mass of the fuel.

mass = (0.710grams/cm³) × (1.45×10³cm³)

mass = 1.03×10³grams

We can now convert the calculated mass in grams to kilograms.

mass=1.03×10³grams(1kg/1000grams)

mass =1.03kg

Conclusion:

The mass of fuel in kilograms is 1.03 kg.
