Answer all 1 0 parts The calculation for a mixed fuel's octane rating is as follows: O F = ( O 1 V 1 )

Answer all 10 parts
The calculation for a mixed fuel's octane rating is as follows:
OF=(O1V1)+(O2V2)(V1+V2)
Where:
Ox= Octane rating of that fuel
Vx= Volume of that fuel
A racing team needs 100-octane fuel to safely run their car in an upcoming race, however, they can only get gasoline which has an octane rating of 93. As an octane booster, they use xylene ((CH3)2C6H4), which has an octane rating of 117 and a density of xylene=0.864gmL. In a mixing tank, they add 120 gallons of the 93-octane gasoline to 50 gallons of xylene to bring their rating to the required 100-octane.
Given:
1 gallon 93 octane =6.05lbs,1 gallon 89 octane =6.2lbs
1kg=2.205lbs
1 liter =0.264 gallons
1 newton =1kg*msec2
1 lbs =4.4482 newtons
What is the density of the 93-octane gasoline (gmL)?
What is the mass (kg) of the 93-octane gasoline added to the tank?
What is the mass (kg) of the xylene added to the tank?
What is the mass fraction of the gasoline in the tank?
What is the final density of the 100-octane racing fuel?
What is the molarity of the xylene added to the mixing tank?
What is the weight (lbs.) of the final 100-octane racing fuel?
How much of the racing fuel (liters) does the team have?
How much xylene (gallons) would they need to use if all that they could get was 89-octane gasoline?
What is the final density of the 100-octane racing fuel if using 89-octane?
