Answer:

Two-third of the toxic metal, mercury comes from gold mining.

Explanation:

During gold mining small pieces of gold which are within  the soil are separated with the help of mercury. Both gold and mercury are mixed and they forms amalgam. Further gold can be extracted by vaporizing the mercury, thus releasing it into air and contributing to two-third of the air pollution by human activities.

Therefore (d) gold mining is the correct answer.

How efficient are electric engines
raketka [301]

Answer:

Electric engines have efficiencies of roughly 90% whilst combustion engines about 10% to 30%. This is because combustion engines emit much more heat, which is always energy that is not used as work, and thus increases inefficiency.

Zingerone, one of the flavor molecules in ginger,

The molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3 hence the molar mass of the compound is 207 g/mol.

We need to obtain the number of moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound;

Carbon = 24.91 g/44g/mol × 1 mole of carbon = 0.566 moles

Mass of carbon =  0.566 moles × 12 g/mol = 6.792 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 6.522 g/18 g/mol × 2 moles = 0.725 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.725 moles  × 1 g/mol = 0.725 g

Mass of oxygen = 10 - (6.792 g + 0.725 g) = 2.483 g

Number of moles of oxygen = 2.483 g/16 g/mol = 0.155 moles

Now we must divide through by the lowest number of moles;

C - 0.566/0.155   H - 0.725/0.155     O - 0.155/0.155

C - 4                    H - 5                        O - 1

The simplest formula is C4H5O Recall that the molar mass of the compound lies between 150.0 and 220.0 g/mol

4(12) + 5(1) + 16 = 69

Hence; n = 3 and the molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3

The molar mass of the compound is; 12(12) + 15(1) + 3(16) = 207 g/mol
