Answer: (A) 780J

(B) 1.89*10^-11L

(C) 1.67*10^-4 h

Explanation:

Energy of the battery = IVt

=13*60 = 780J

Heat combustion of

1g of gasoline relax 46000J

Therefore 780J will release 780/46000

= 0.017g

Density = mass/volume

Volume = mass/density

Volume = 0.017 * 10^-3 / 900

= 1.89 * 10^-8 m3

= 1.89*10^-11 litres

P=IVt

t=P/IV

= 450/60*13

1.67*10^-4 hours
