Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of

gas. If Harry drives 15,000 miles in a year, his vehicle will add pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere.

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
                                                         = 600 gallons
So 
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
                                                      = 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 10.89% magnesium 31.77% chloride and 57.34% oxygen
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Mg = 10.89 g

Mass of Cl = 31.77 g

Mass of O = 57.34 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg=\frac {\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac {10.89g}{24g/mole}=0.45moles

Moles of Cl = \frac {\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac {31.77g}{35.5g/mole}=0.89moles

Moles of O =\frac {\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}=\frac {57.34g}{16g/mole}=3.58moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = \frac {0.45}{0.45}=1

For Cl = \frac {0.89}{0.45}=2

For O= \frac {3.58}{0.45}=8

The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8

Hence the empirical formula is Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}

Which of the following is a factor in natural selection?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although all of these answers are similar, it seems that all three are the answer. I am sorry if the answer ends up being B but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Charles Darwin's evolution theory "evolved", get it, from the natural selection theory. The theory is described as "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring." However, some factors that effect natural selection are competition, selection and variation. I believe all three fit the answer and therefore I believe answer D is correct.

What is the [OH-] if the [H3O+] is 1 x 10 -6?
Mariulka [41]

The answer is [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁸.

To find OH⁻, divide the ionic product of water by [H₃O⁺] as :

<u>OH⁻ + H₃O⁺ = H₂O</u>

<u />

  • [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 1 x 10⁻⁶
  • [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻⁸

These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence shell is the shell present on the outermost core of an atom and electrons present in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.

If an atom has completely filled valence shell then it means the atom is not reactive in nature because it is already stable.

But when an atom has less than eight electrons in its valence shell then it means to attain stability the atom will readily attract electrons towards itself.

As the given element 1 has 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it is not reactive in nature but element 2 has 6 valence electrons. So, in order to attain stability element 2 will readily attract 2 electrons from a donor atom.

Thus, we can conclude that element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.
