Hi I have two questions grade 11 chem questions that I don't know how to do. HELP PLEASE!

Q1: Tetraethyl( Pb(C2H5)4 ) lead was added to gasoline up to 2.0ml per 3.8L of gasoline.

a)Calculate the mass of Tetraethyl lead in the total amount of gasoline that you use for this trip (31.2 L of gasoline). The density of Tetraethyl lead is 1.653g/mL

b) Calculate the mass of elemental lead in the total amount of gasoline that you will consume for this trip.


I'm not sure but here is what I did.
Mass tetraethyl lead = 31.2 L gasoline * (2.0 mL Pb(C2H5)4/3.8 L gasoline) * 1.653 g Pb(C2H5)4

Looks correct. Well, almost correct - not all units are OK. But that's a minor problem.

b is about using molar masses.
