Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{(-2)-6=-8}{4-(-2)=4+2=6}=\frac{-8}{6}=\frac{-8/2}{6/2}=\frac{-4}{3}=\frac{-4/2=-2}{3}=-\frac{2}{3}$

Slope is -2/3

Answer: -2/3

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

You can calculate slope by using the following equation: m= $\frac{ y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x{1}} 
$
m being the slope
So applying this to your problem, you would just divide -8 by 6, which gives you -1.33 as your slope.

What is the mass (in grams) of 8.11×1026 CO2 molecules?

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

It is 59,275.74 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

• Molecular mass of carbon dioxide

$= (12 \times 1) + (16 \times 2) \\ = 12 + 32 \\ = 44 \: g$

[ molar masses: C = 12 g, O = 16 g ]

• From avogadro's number, it says 1 mole contains 6.02 × 10^23 molecules or atoms.

But 1 mole is equivalent to its molar mass in terms of weight, therefore;

${ \sf{6.02 \times {10}^{23} \: molecules = 44 \: g }}\\ { \sf{8.11 \times {10}^{26} \: molecules =( \frac{8.11 \times {10}^{26} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \times 44) \: g}} \\ \\ = { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{59275.7 \: \: g}}}}$
