The answer is:  [D]:  " 417 cm³ " .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:  Use the formula:

V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂  ;

in which:  V₁ = initial volume = 556 cm³ ;
                T₁ = initial temperature = 278 K ;
                V₂ = final ("new") temperature = 308 K
                T₂ = final ("new:) volume = ?

Solve for  "V₂" ;

Since:  V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂ ;

We can rearrange this "equation/formula" to isolate "V₂" on one side of the equation; and then we can plug in our know values to solve for "V₂" ;
_______________________________________________________
       V₁ /T₁= V₂ /T₂  ;  Multiply EACH side of the equation by "T₂ " :

          →  T₂ (V₁ /T₁) = T₂  (V₂ /T₂) ;
______________________________
to get:

↔ T₂  (V₂ /T₂) = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;

     →  V₂ = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;
______________________________
Now, plug in our known values, to solve for "V₂" ;
______________________________
    →  V₂ = T₂ (V₁ /T₁) ;
______________________________
    →  V₂ = 308 K ( 556 cm³ /278 K)  ;
             → The units of "K" cancel to "1" ; and we have:
________________________________________________________
    →  V₂ = 308*( 556 cm³ / 278 ) = [(208 * 556) / 278 ] cm³ ;
Note:  We will keep the units of volume as:  "cm³ ";  since all the answer choices given are in units of:  "cm³ " ; {that is, "cubic centimeters"}.

   →  [(208 * 556) / 278 ] cm³ = [ (115,648) / (278) ] cm³ ;
                                        
              → For the "(115,648)" ;  round to "3 (three significant figures)" ;
                        → "(115,648)" → rounds to:  "116,000" ;
____________________________________________________
              →      (116,000) / (278) = 417.2661870503597122  ;
                                 → round to 3 significant figures; → "417 cm³ " ;
                                               → which corresponds with "choice [D]".

The answer is:  [D]:  "417 cm³ " .

A volcano forms near a tectonic plate boundary. What can you infer about the formation of this volcano?
valkas [14]

Answer: There are three main places where volcanoes originate: Hot spots, Divergent plate boundaries (such as rifts and mid-ocean ridges), and. Convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones)

Explanation:

Volcanoes often form in the areas where tectonic plates make contact. The friction created between two plates by the constant movement melts the Earth's crust, causing the rock underneath the crust to turn into magma due to the great temperatures created by friction. ... Volcanoes may be formed at subduction zones

11. Propane (C3Hg) is a fuel commonly used in gas grills.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

81.71%

Explanation:

One mole of propane contains 3 moles of carbon atoms and 8 moles of hydrogen atoms, as seen from the molecular formula of C_3H_8. In order to calculate the percent of carbon in propane by mass, we need to remember that %w/w (or percent mass) formula states that:

\omega=\frac{m_{component}}{m_{total}}\cdot100\%

That is, we need to divide the mass of the component of interest by the total mass of the compound and multiply by 100 to obtain the percentage.

For simplicity, let's take 1 mole of propane and find the mass of 1 mole (hence, we'll be finding the molar mass of propane). To do that, we add the 3 molar masses of carbon and 8 molar masses of hydrogen to obtain a total of:

M_{C_3H_8}=3M_C+8M_H=3\cdot12.011 \frac{g}{mol}+8\cdot1.00784\frac{g}{mol}=44.096 \frac{g}{mol}

Now that we have the molar mass of propane, we also need to find the total mass of carbon in 1 mole of propane. We know that we have a total of 3 moles of carbon which corresponds to:

M_C=3\cdot12.011 \frac{g}{mol}=36.033 \frac{g}{mol}

Dividing the mass of carbon present by the total mass of the compound will yield the mass percentage as defined by the formula we introduced:

\omega_C=\frac{36.033\frac{g}{mol}}{44.096 \frac{g}{mol}}\cdot 100\%=81.71\%
