Answer:
The water is solvent and the salt is solute
Complex meaning more complicated and detailed in difficulty
Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,
The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:
22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol
The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:
3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol
The percentage composition by mass is:
47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
Before starting, we will convert all the givens into standard units as follows:
1.8 * 10^14 KJ/sec = 1.8 * 10^14 * 1000 = 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec
24 hours = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 second
Now, we are given that:
The earth receives 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec. We will begin by calculating the total energy received by the earth in 24-hours
Total energy = 1.8 * 10^17 * 86400 = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules
Then we will get the mass from the following rule:
E = m * c^2 where:
E is the total energy = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules
m is the mass we need to find
c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/sec
Substitute with the givens to get the mass as follows:
1.5552 * 10^22 = m * (3*10^8)^2
m = 172800 kg
