Q: Where could i buy this?????
Okay, so i have a small model of my favorite car a 1957 Chevy corvette in red. it wasn’t anything really valuable and i got it cheap, however today my dad took off the body of the car and threw it away to help my sister with homework. so now my favorite car is destroyed. do you know anywhere that i can order the same model car at an affordable price???

A: Hate to hear that, man.You might try www.greatmodelswebstore.com I got some tanks from them a few years back.Seems like they had lots of other kits,too.Hope this helps.
Good luck,Buddy.

Q: PLEASE HELP! I need to know the cost of the following cars when they were brand new?
1900 Haynes
1902 Waltham Orient Roundabout Car
1903 Toledo 18 hp Touring Car
1958 Plymouth Fury
1957 Plymouth Fury
1900 Haynes-Apperson Six Carriage & Roundabout Car
1957 chevy
1958 imapala, and corvette
1963 limited edition thunderbird landau
1970 dodge challenger
1970 Caprice
1970 chevelle SS 396
1969 Camaro SS
1966/1967 cadillac deville

If anyone knows what any of these cars went for in US the year they were made, please let me know. i really appreciate it.

A: I have no idea what the 1900s cars cost but I was around in the 1950s. A 1958 or 1957 Plymouth Fury ran about $2,000 with normal equipment. A 57 Chevrolet about the same. In fact the dealers were advertising the stripped down model for $1,795. My Dad had a 58 Chevrolet and paid maybe $2,200. The Corvette was a lot more expensive, maybe $4,500. By the early 1970’s prices had climbed to about $3,500 for the cars you have listed. The 1966-67 Cadillac was about the most expensive car around and maybe cost $5,000 at the most. The Thunderbird was the same.

Q: more chemistry help? (10 pts)?
Suppose you had a 1957 Corvette in which one of the cylinders in the Chevy 283 V-8 engine has a volume of 500.0 mL. This cylinder is filled with air (21% oxygen remember) at a temperature of 55°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm. What mass of octane, C8H18, must be injected to react with all of the oxygen in the cylinder? HINT: There’s a combustion reaction happening here.

A: hints

(1) calculate total volume of cylinders
(2) calculate moles gas
(3) calculate mass gas
(4) calculate mass of oxygen
(5) calculate moles oxygen
(6) write balanced equation
(7) calculate moles octane
(8) calculate mass octane

solution

**** (1) ****

total volume = 8 x 500.0 ml = 4000.0 ml = 4.000 L

**** (2) ****

PV = nRT
n = PV/RT = (1 atm) x (4.000 L ) / [ (0.0821 L atm/moleK) x (328.15K)] = 0.1485 moles

**** (3) ****

molecular mass of dry air = 28.97 g/mole

moles dry air = mass / mw

mass = moles x mw = 0.1485 moles x 28.97 g/mole = 4.302g air

**** (4) ****

mass oxygen = 0.21 x mass air = 0.21 x 4.302 g air = 0.903 g oxygen

**** (5) ****

moles oxygen = mass oxygen / mw oxygen
= 0.903 g / 32.0 g/mole = 0.0282 moles O2

**** (6) ****

2 C8H18 + 25 O2 ——-> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O

**** (7) ****

2 moles C8H18 react with 25 moles O2 from balanced equation

0.0282 moles O2 x (2 moles C8H18 / 25 moles O2) = 0.00226 moles C8H18

**** (8) ****

moles octane = mass octane / mw octane

mass octane = moles octane x mw octane

= 0.00226 moles C8H18 x (8×12+18×1) g/mole
= 0.00226 moles C8H18 x 114 g/mole
= 0.258 grams octane

since your value of % oxygen has only two sig figs and since that was used during multiplication, your answer needs to have only two sig figs.

*****************************************
so the answer is 0.26 grams octane
