Answer:

( °F − 32) × 5/9 =  °C

Explanation:

Also there is a mental calculation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The ratio 5/9 is approximately equal 0.55555….

Subtract 32º to adapt the equivalent in the Fahrenheit scale.

Divide the degrees Celsius by 2 (multiply by 0.5).

Take 1/10 of this number (0.5 * 1/10 = 0.05) and add it to the number obtained previously.

Example: Convert 98.6º F to Centigrade.

98.6 - 32 = 66.6

66.6 * 1/2 = 33.3

33.3 * 1/10 = 3.3

33.3 + 3.3 = 36.6 which is an approximation in degrees Centigrade

Why can three atoms of magnesium have different masses?
Juliette [100K]

Answer: the atoms of those isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons), making them belong to the same ele- ment, but they have different mass numbers (total number of protons and neutrons) giving them differ- ent atomic masses.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer;

B It was a compound

Explanation;

A pure chemical compound is a chemical substance that is composed of a particular set of molecules or ions that are chemically bonded. Two or more elements combined into one substance through a chemical reaction, such as water, form a chemical compound.

A chemical compound can be either atoms bonded together in molecules or crystals in which atoms, molecules or ions form a crystalline lattice.  Unlike elements compounds can be broken down in chemical means.

7. What does the mass for each element on the periodic table represent:
____ [38]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The mass number (represented by the letter A) is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Consider the table below, which shows data from the first six elements of the periodic table. Consider the element helium. Its atomic number is 2, so it has two protons in its nucleus.

2. In the water cycle, lake water will do which​
aalyn [17]
Water is always on the move. Rain falling today may have been water in a distant ocean days before. And the water you see in a river or stream may have been snow on a high mountaintop. Water is in the atmosphere, on the land, in the ocean, and underground. It moves from place to place through the water cycle.

Where's the water?

There are about 1.4 billion km3 of water (336 million mi3 of water) on Earth. That includes liquid water in the ocean, lakes, and rivers. It includes frozen water in snow, ice, and glaciers, and water that’s underground in soils and rocks. It includes the water that’s in the atmosphere as clouds and vapor.

If you could put all that water together – like a gigantic water drop – it would be 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) across.

Manganese forms several oxides when combined with oxygen. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn and another oxide (Ox
Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.

A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.

Mass of the oxide = 100g

Mass of Mn = 63.2 g

Mass of O = 100 - 63.2

= 36.8 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8

= 1.72

Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.

Mass of oxide = 100 g

Mass of Mn = 77.5 g

Mass of O = 100 - 77.5

= 22.5 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5

= 3.44

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.

B.

Oxide 1

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Oxide 2

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
