Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

1) Atomic masses of the atoms:

C: 12.01 g/mol

H: 1.008 g/mol

2) Molar mass of heptane:

C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:

C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

3) Percent composition of carbon:

% = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

= (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The first electronic shell or energy level, having n= 1, called the K shell, is the closest to the nucleus.

Explanation:

In an atom, the sub atomic particles called electrons, revolve around the nucleus of the given atom at different energy levels, called shells.

The energy levels or the electronic shells are denoted by the principal quantum number (n) and has the following values n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; from the innermost shell to the outermost.

The electron shells are also labelled by the alphabets, K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q, from the innermost shell to the outermost.

Thus the first electronic shell having n= 1, called K shell, is the lowest energy level and is present closest to the nucleus.

Whereas, the last electronic shell having n =7, called Q shell, is the highest energy level and is farthest from the nucleus.

A motorcycle travel at 6.0 m/s. After 3.0 second, the motorcycle travel at 15.0 m/s. Which of the following was the average acce

Lerok [7]

Hello!

$\large\boxed{a = 3m/s^{2}}$

Use the following equation to solve for the average acceleration of the motorcycle:

$a = \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

Plug in the given final, initial velocities, and the time:

$a = \frac{15-6}{3}\\\\a = \frac{9}{3}\\\\a = 3m/s^{2}$

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The El Nino/Southern Oscillation occurs in between the three phases Neutral, La Nina or El Nino.

The humboldt current takes cold water to South America's west coast to the tropics from the Southern Ocean. Because of the welling which takes place in Peru this process is enhanced. Due to the trade winds near the equator the cold water travels west where it heats up due to the sun. This makes the water of the western Pacific warmer.
