Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 2

Explanation:

Data

Octane = C₈H₁₈

Oxygen = O₂

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

Reaction

                         C₈H₁₈  +   O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         1

                         18                     H                        2

                          2                     O                        3

This reaction is unbalanced

                          C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   9H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         8

                         18                     H                        18

                         25                     O                       25

Multiply the reaction by 2

                    2C₈H₁₈  +   25O₂   ⇒   16CO₂   +   18H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                         16                     C                        16

                         36                     H                       36

                         50                     O                       50

Now, the reaction is balanced

Explain where the weight of an atom is found what is responsible for that weight and why
padilas [110]

Answer:

The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.

Brut [27]
A) -0.5(9.8)*t^2 = -25(t-2) - 0.5(9.8)(t-2)^2 
-4.9t^2 = -25t + 50 - 4.9(t^2-4t+4) 
0 = -25t+50+19.6t - 19.6 
5.4t = 30.4 
t = 5.62962963 s 

b) h = -4.9(5.62962963)^2 
h = -155.2943759 
the building is 155.2943759 m high 

c) speed 0of first stone

= 9.8*5.62962963 
= 55.17037037 m/s 
speed of second stone
= v + at
= 25+9.8*3.62962963 
= 60.57037037 m/s

Answer:

B) Observations and experimentation

Explanation:

this is the most suitable words to describe how is Science used in describing the world. we collect the  knowledge in organized way and provide it with explanations and start to predict about the future world

ِAny Inventions are based on Science and no Inventions without Observations and experimentation

No one of us have went to a chemistry or a physics labs without using Observations and experimentation
