In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).

Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol

To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C= $( \frac{3(12 g/mol)}{3(12 g/mol)+6(1 g/mol)+16 g/mol} ) x 100%$
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%

A hydrogen atom in an excited state can be ionized with less energy than when it is in its ground state. What is n for a hydroge

Molodets [167]

Explanation:

It is known that formula for the ionization energy of hydrogen atom is as follows.

E = $\frac{13.6 eV}{n^{2}}$

or, n = $\sqrt{\frac{13.6}{E}}$

The value of energy is given as 0.544 eV. Therefore, we will calculate the value of n as follows.

n = $\sqrt{\frac{13.6}{E}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{13.6}{0.544 eV}}$

= 5

Thus, we can conclude that n equals to 5 for a hydrogen atom if 0.544 eV of energy can ionize it.

Drag each item to indicate whether it is related to Aristotle's or Ptolemy's model of the solar system, or to both. Some items m

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Aristotle's Model :

geocentric

planets fixed on nested spheres

Ptolemy's model:

geocentric

planets fixed on epicycles

accurately predicted the positions of the planets

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact both models are geocentric and make a brief explanation of them:

Aristotle's Model :

Aristotle built his model based on observations and philosophical assumptions, not on measurements or calculations, then he mistakenly thought the Earth was the center of the universe.

So, according to this model, the universe was spherical and finite, with the Earth immobile at its center, composed of the four fundamental elements (made up of spherical layers): ground, water, air and fire; and the Sun along with the fixed planets in their respective concentric spheres (also called nested spheres) revolving around the Earth.

Ptolemy's model:

Ptolemy's model of the universe was also geocentric, placing the Earth motionless in the center of the known universe and was the accepted model for a long time during the Middle Ages.

In this sense, ccording to Ptolemy's model of the universe our planet remains stationary while the other planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it (called epicycles).

However, this model predicted with an acceptable accuracy for that time the motion of the known planets, until Copernicus appeared with the revolutionary Heliocentric model.

The density of whole blood is 1.05 g/ml. a typical adult has between 4.7 and 5.5 l of whole blood. what is the mass in pounds of

Kisachek [45]

1.05 g/ml * 1000 ml = 1050g/l because of 1g/ml = 1 kg/l so, a/q mass of 4.7 l of whole blood in pound = 4.7 * 1050 = 4935 g so in pound 4935g = 10.87981p
