2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
46 g. ➡️ 117 g
x. ➡️ 29.3 g
$x = \frac{46 \times 29.3}{117} \\ x = 11.5 \: g$

Answer:

11.52 grams of sodium

Explanation:

The balanced equation is :

$2Na+Cl_{2}-->2NaCl$

As per balanced equation, two moles of sodium will give two moles of sodium chloride.

the molar mass of sodium chloride = atomic mass of Na + atomic mass of Cl

The molar mass of sodium chloride = 23 +35.5 = 58.5

thus for 58.5 grams of sodium chloride the mass of sodium required = 23 g

For one gram of sodium chloride the mass of sodium required = $\frac{23}{58.5}=0.393g$

Therefore for 29.3 grams of sodium chloride = 29.3x0.393 g of sodium = 11.52g

Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

$\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}$

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

$\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}$

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

$\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

Which statement best explains why gneiss is composed of layers but there are no layers in granite?

Mandarinka [93]

Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

<h3>What are rocks?</h3>

Rocks are geological hard materials that are made up of various types which include:

Sedimentary rocks: These are rocks that made up of various layers formed from sediments. Example is the gnesis.

Metamorphic rocks: These are rocks that are form from pre existing rocks that undergoes some transformation. Example is granite

Therefore, Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.
