A manufacturer of bicycles has 4815 wheels, 2305 frames, and 2255 handlebars. (a) How many bicycles can be manufactured using these parts? (b) How many parts of each kind are left over? (c) Which part limits the production of bicycles?

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) The manufacturer can produce 2255 bicycles using all the available parts. (b) The remaining parts are: 305 wheels, 50 frames, and 0 handlebars. (c) The part that limits the production of bicycles is the handlebars.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the requirements to build a bicycle

To manufacture a complete bicycle, we need the following parts: - 2 wheels - 1 frame - 1 handlebar
02

Calculate how many bicycles can be produced using all the available parts

We'll divide the number of parts by the required amount for each component and then find the minimum number of bicycles that can be produced: Wheels: \( \frac{4815}{2} = 2407.5 \) (round down to 2407 bicycles) Frames: \( \frac{2305}{1} = 2305 \) bicycles Handlebars: \( \frac{2255}{1} = 2255 \) bicycles The minimum number of bicycles that can be produced is 2255 (limited by the number of handlebars).
03

Determine the number of parts left over for each component

Wheels: 4815 - (2 * 2255) = 305 wheels left over Frames: 2305 - 2255 = 50 frames left over Handlebars: 2255 - 2255 = 0 handlebars left over
04

Identify the part that limits the production of bicycles

The component that limits the production of bicycles is the handlebars, with 2255 available.
05

Summary of the solution

(a) The manufacturer can produce 2255 bicycles using all the available parts. (b) The remaining parts are: 305 wheels, 50 frames, and 0 handlebars. (c) The part that limits the production of bicycles is the handlebars.

(a) You are given a cube of silver metal that measures \(1.000 \mathrm{~cm}\) on each edge. The density of silver is \(10.5\) \(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .\) How many atoms are in this cube? (b) Because atoms are spherical, they cannot occupy all of the space of the cube. The silver atoms pack in the solid in such a way that \(74 \%\) of the volume of the solid is actually filled with the silver atoms. Calculate the volume of a single silver atom. (c) Using the volume of a silver atom and the formula for the volume of a sphere, calculate the radius in angstroms of a silver atom.

\( \mathrm{~A}\) sample of the male sex hormone testosterone, \(\mathrm{C}_{19} \mathrm{H}_{28} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), contains \(7.08 \times 10^{20}\) hydrogen atoms. (a) How many atoms of carbon does it contain? (b) How many molecules of testosterone does it contain? (c) How many moles of testosterone does it contain? (d) What is the mass of this sample in grams?

One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid is the conversion of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) to \(\mathrm{NO}\) : $$ 4 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{NO}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) $$ In a certain experiment, \(1.50 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) reacts with \(2.75 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) (a) Which is the limiting reactant? (b) How many grams of \(\mathrm{NO}\) and of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) form? (c) How many grams of the excess reactant remain after the limiting reactant is completely consumed? (d) Show that your calculations in parts (b) and (c) are consistent with the law of conservation of mass.

The complete combustion of octane, \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\), the main component of gasoline, proceeds as follows: $$ 2 \mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}(l)+25 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 16 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+18 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) $$ (a) How many moles of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) are needed to burn \(1.25 \mathrm{~mol}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18} ?\) (b) How many grams of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) are needed to burn \(10.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\) ? (c) Octane has a density of \(0.692 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\) at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). How many grams of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) are required to burn \(1.00\) gal of \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\) ?

An iron ore sample contains \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) together with other substances. Reaction of the ore with CO produces iron metal: $$ \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{CO}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) $$ (a) Balance this equation. (b) Calculate the number of grams of CO that can react with \(0.150 \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\). (c) Calculate the number of grams of Fe and the number of grams of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) formed when \(0.150 \mathrm{~kg}\) of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) reacts. (d) Show that your calculations in parts (b) and (c) are consistent with the law of conservation of mass.
