A car and driver weigh 3250 lb when the car is driven into the gasoline station. The driver puts 15 gallons of gasoline in the fuel tank. If each gallon of gasoline weighs 7 lb, what was the weight of the car and driver when they left the station?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


3355 lbs

Rationale: 15 gallons x 7 lbs/gallon = 105 lbs. 3250 lbs + 105 lbs = 3355 lbs.

Consider the hypothetical free?energy diagram of an ideal solution shown in Fig. 10.5. Now assume that a layer of pure metal A, is bonded to a layer of pure metal B, that 40 percent by weight of the couple is in the A metal layer, and that the atomic weights of metals A and B are 80 and 60 grams per mole, respectively. Furthermore, assume that the couple is held long enough at 500 K so that, as a result of diffusions, a homogeneous solid solution is obtained.

(a) What would be the free energy of the couple at the beginning of the diffusion anneal? Give the answer in Joules per mole. (b) What would be the free?energy of the homogenous solid solution at the end of the diffusion anneal? Give the answer in Joules per mole.
