There are 43.2 g of carbon to 14.4 g of hydrogen in a sample of methane (CH4). What percent of 37.8 g of methane is carbon?

Using the law of constant proportions  which says that within the same compound, elements exist in fixed ratios. 

Therefore; we can use the ratio of total mass to the mass of carbon, to determine the amount of carbon in another sample.

Mass C / Mass CH4 = Mass C / Mass CH4

43.2 g / 57.6 g = Mass C / 37.8 g

Mass C = 37.8 g × 43.2 g / 57.6 g 

              = 28.35 g

Hence; the percentage of carbon will be; 

=(28.35/ 37.8 )× 100%

= 75 % 

Thus; 75% of 37.8 g of methane is carbon

A is the answer

In an ozone molecule, the three atoms must be connected, so there must at least be a single bond between them. Place

dots in pairs around the oxygen atoms until each oxygen atom has eight valence electrons, starting with the atoms on the

outside and doing the central atom last if there are enough. Do not exceed the total number of valence electrons

identified in part A. Remember that the dashes between the oxygen atoms, which represent single bonds, each indicate

the presence of two valence electrons

Carbon exists in nature as three isotopes. Given the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes, what is the average a
Ivan

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.

Are Zombies Living or Non-living Reasoning and Evidence?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

I believe that zombies are not living

Explanation:

because zombies don't grow and develop because they are practically mindless. Also, zombies definitely respond to the environment (like when they see a human) but they don't adapt to it

Calculate concentration of methylene blue . Give answer in molarity. concentration in ppm=4.8
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The molarity of methylene blue is 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

When we talk about aqueous solutions, 1 ppm means 1 mg of solute per liter of solution. We need to express this concentration in molarity, which is moles of solute per liter of solution. To convert mass to moles we need the molar mass of methylene blue(MB), which is 320 g/mol.

Then,

\frac{4.8mgMB}{1Lsolution} .\frac{1gMB}{10^{3}mgMB } .\frac{1molMB}{320gMB} =1.5 \times 10^{-5} M
