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.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Hg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq)   →   2NaNO₃(aq) + HgSO₄(s)

Moles of Hg(NO₃)₂ = 55.42 / 324.7 ==> 0.1707 moles

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 16.642 / 142.04 ==> 0.1172 moles

Limiting reagent is Na₂SO₄ as it controls product formation

Moles of HgSO₄ formed = 0.1172 moles

                                        = 0.1172 x 296.65

                                        = 34.757g
