Question: (a) Using data from Table 7.1, find the mass destroyed when the energy in a barrel of crude oil is released. (b) Given these barrels

(a) Using data from Table 7.1, find the mass destroyed when the energy in a barrel of crude oil is released. 

(b) Given these barrels contain 200 liters and assuming the density of crude oil is 750 kg/m3, what is the ratio of mass destroyed to original mass, Δm/m?

Data from Table 7.1
