Introduction Gasoline is a fuel that is distilled from the crude oil. Gasoline consists of organic compounds which exists in the form of various structures and include linear and even cyclic structures such as aromatic or alkane cyclic hydrocarbons. While the composition of gasoline may vary, a common gasoline structure is provided below. In the diagram provided, gasoline is depicted to have 8 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms.The density of gasoline ranges from 0.71 to 0.77kg/m3. Gasoline plays an […]

1. When acetone dissolves the polymer, the gas present in the foaming agent is allowed to evaporate and is removed from the structure. The polymer becomes more compact and denser as the polymer collapses on itself due to the absence of the gas. 2a. Low density polyethylene(LDPE) is made from ethylene and has an increased amount in branched bonds when compared to HDPE. The Branched arrangement of LDPE results in weak intermolecular bonds within LDPE and results in lower tensile […]
1a) The connection between coal-fired plants and poor visibility is such that coal fired plants release huge amounts of water vapour along with the combustion process. Hence, water vapour when cooled in the forest area in the National Park becomes visible as fog, causing the poor visibility. b) The average pH of rain should be neutral at pH = 7. Therefore, since the average rainfall in Mammoth Cave National Park is 10 times more acidic than natural, the difference in […]
