Use a proportion ... 
<span>100.0g - 38.67g - 13.86g = 47.47g Oxygen </span>
<span>285.0 mg = 0.285g </span>
<span>47.47/100 = x/0.285g </span>
<span>x = ( 47.47/100) X 0.285g </span>

What are the two different Energetics that relate to Environmental Science
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Organisms inhabit nearly every environment on Earth, from hot vents deep in the ocean floor to the icy reaches of the Arctic. Each environment offers both resources and constraints that shape the appearance of the species that inhabit it, and the strategies these species use to survive and reproduce. Some of the broadest patterns of environmental difference arise from the way our planet orbits the Sun and the resulting global distribution of sunlight (Chapin et al. 2002).

Explanation:

In the tropics, where solar radiation is plentiful year-round, temperatures are warm, and plants may photosynthesize continuously as long as water and nutrients are available. In polar regions, where solar radiation is seasonally limited, mean temperatures are much lower, and organisms must cope with extended periods when photosynthesis ceases.

Comparing the 2-bromobutane + methoxide and 2-bromobutane + t-butoxide reactions, choose the statements that BEST describe the d
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used

Explanation:

When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.

Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.

The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.

The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.
