Answer: The percentages of carbon and hydrogen numerically to four significant figures is 83.33\% and 16.67\% respectively.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the compound is the mass of 1 mole of compound which is the sum of masses of each element.

Mass of 1 mole of compound= mass of carbon + mass of hydrogen+ = 5(12) + 12(1)= 72 g.

a) Percentage by mass of carbon =\frac{\text {mass of carbon}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %

Percentage by mass of carbon =\frac{60}{72}\times 100\%=83.33\%

b) Percentage by mass of hydrogen =\frac{\text {mass of hydrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %

Percentage by mass of hydrogen =\frac{12}{72}\times 100\%=16.67\%

About 25 of the 92 natural elements are known to be essential to life. which four of these 25 elements make up approximately 96%
ikadub [295]
The correct answer would be the second option. Four of these 25 elements that make up approximately 96% of living matter are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen. The elements carbon and hydrogen are the backbone for organic compounds which is the foundation of cells that are present in all living matter. Also, the cells in all living matter are made up of protein which are primarily made up of amino acids which contains nitrogen, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen atoms. So, basically, without these elements in the cells all living matter would not be present and there would be no life in any case.

Explain why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the “real circle of life”
BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:Photosynthesis is important because the earth and all of the creatures in the sea and land need the plants to be able to feed themselves with the help of the sun and with cellular respiration, those plants are able to take in the carbon dioxide that we give and make into oxygen with we need. there fore without them we would not be able to exist.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: The results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment in which he passed alpha particles through a thin gold foil sheet. Through this sheet some of the particles passed on to the other side but some of them were reflected back.

This experiment was done by Rutherford to prove than an atom contains a tiny and heavy nucleus. He concluded that an atom has more than empty space and electrons were present in scattered form.

Also, he concluded that an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.

Thus, we can conclude that the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
