<span>44.4% by weight
   Percent composition is the percent by mass in a composition. Since this problem states "combines completely", I will assume that both reactants are fully consumed and that the resulting product has the combined mass of both reactants. If that's the case, then we simply divide the mass of sulfur by the mass of the compound. So: X = 12.0/(12.0 + 15.0) = 12.0/27.0 = 0.444444 = 44.4%</span>

<span>The percent composition of s in the compound is 44.4%.
</span>
No. of grams of ca = 15
no. of grams of S = 12
<span>percent composition of s in the compound = 12/(15 + 12) x 100
= 12/27 x 100
= 0.44 x 100
= 44.4%</span>

Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.

A plant release it’s seed , but soon there after, the area seeds are in experiences a yearlong drought. How would the seeds most
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata. To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss. Some plants that live in dry conditions have evolved to have smaller leaves and therefore fewer stomata.
