The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration

Vanyuwa [196]
<span>Answer: Enthalpy is delta-H- We need to look at the molecule and determine which bonds are broken adn which bonds are formed. Bonds that are broken are H-H (from the H2 molecule) and the C=O from acetone. their energies add up like this: 436 kJ + 745 kJ = 1181 kJ looking at the bonds formed, these are C-O, O-H, and C-H. these add up to 1229 kJ solving for delta H by taking the sum of the broken bonds and subtracting the sum of the formed bonds, like so: 1181 - 1229 = -48 kJ</span>

A solution is made by dissolving 15.5 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) in 245 grams of water. What is the freezing point depression of
sergij07 [2.7K]
From the equation; ΔTf = Kf × m
Where, Kf for water = 1.853 K kg/mole; m is the molarity = number of solute/amount of solvent in kg.
Glucose is the solute whose molecular mass is 180 g/mole and water is the solvent. 
Moles of solute = 15.5/180 = 0.0861 moles
Amount of solvent in kg = 245/1000 = 0.245 Kg
Therefore; molarity = 0.0861/0.245 = 0.3515 moles/Kg
Therefore; ΔTf = 1.853 × 0.3515 = 0.6513 K
Hence; the depression in freezing point is 0.6513 
The freezing point of solution will therefore be;
= 273 - 0.6513 = 272.3487 K

Among the following, which element has the lowest ionization energy? Question 2 options: Cs Na Cl I
marissa [1.9K]
The element with the lowest ionization energy is CESIUM, CS.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom of an element. The higher the number of shells in an atom of an element, the lower the ionization energy that will be required to remove the valence electron.

Why are we pulled to the center of the Earth and not into the much larger sun?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The sun's gravity pulls on the earth, and the earth pulls back on the sun at the same time. This is why the center of the solar system is not the center of the sun. As one gravitational body gets bigger than the other, it circles closer to the center of the system (shown in red).

Explanation:

hope this helps...

A fish tank holds 29 gal of water. Using the density of 1.00 g/mL for water, determine the number of pounds of water in the fish
vova2212 [387]
1. Convert gallons to mL. 1 gal = 3785.4117840007 mL, multiply that by 29 and get 109776.94173602 mL.

2. Since there is one gram per every mL, there are 109776.94173602 g of water in the fish tank.

3. Convert g to pounds. 1 g = 0.0022 pounds. Multiply 109776.94173602 by 0.0022 and end up with about 241.5 pounds of water.
