Answer:

About 30-35%

Explanation:

Glaciers are defined as the large moving blocks of ice that are formed by the gathering and solidification of snow on the high elevated mountains. The poles and near-polar region are suitable locations for the formation of glaciers as the high latitude areas experience a very cold type of climate.

During the last glaciation or ice age, the maximum portion of the earth that was occupied with glaciers was about 30-35% of the total landmass.  

At present, glaciers cover only 10% of the earth's total landmass that includes the glaciers, large ice caps, and the extensive sheets of ice that are present in Antarctica as well as Greenland.

Explanation:

The chemical compound known as "Acetaminophen" is a chemical compound that is generally known to a layman as Paracetamol and it belongs to the drug class known as anagelsics which helps in the treatment of pain or say in the reduction of pain. Acetaminophen has the chemical Formula to be C8H9NO2, with the Molar mass of 151.163 g/mol and Boiling point of 420 °C.

The reaction between Acetaminophen and sodium methoxide gives methanol and acetaminophen sodium salt. Therefore, the acid base equilibrium reaction of these species is given as;

C8H9NO2 + CH3ONa <========> CH3OH + acetaminophen sodium salt.

The equilibrium shifts to the right that is the forward reaction.
