Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

Given that last year stock for company A was $7200

The stock for company B last year was worth $3510

Stock in company A decreased by 24%

This means the new value of stock for company A became;

(100-24)/100 *$7200

76/100*$7200

0.76*7200 =$5472

Stock in company B decreased by 20%

This means the new value of stock for company B became;

(100-20)/100 *$3510

80/100*$3510

0.8*$3510

$2808

Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710

New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280

Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430

percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%

=2430/10710 *100 =22.689

=22.7%

BigorU [14]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Hydrophobic literally means “the fear of water”. Hydrophobic molecules and surfaces repel water. Hydrophobic liquids, such as oil, will separate from water. Hydrophobic molecules are usually nonpolar, meaning the atoms that make the molecule do not produce a static electric field.

A high pH value indicates _____.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A high pH value indicates a high concentration of OH- ion

Explanation:

The higher the OH- ion concentration high will be the pH.In simple words if the concentration of OH- ions are increased then the pH of the solution will also increase which means the solution will turns towards basic with increasing its OH- ion concentration.

  Let us assume that the OH- concentration of a solution is  10-9  so the pOH of that solution will be 9 and the pH will be 5.

  Now the concentration of OH-ion of that solution is increased from 10-9 to 10-8 now the pOH of that solution is 8 and the pH is 6.

What is produced in the electrolysis of brine?
ziro4ka [17]

High concentration of water and salt is the main ingredient of brine. Salt being NaCl and water make brain and important solution in making of chlorine.

Electric terminals are put inside the solutions and with the help of electric current the chemical properties of the solution are changed such that we get chlorine as outcome. This process is carried out in a large scale to get chlorine from NaCl in solution and is called electrolysis of Brine.

in the following reaction, how many grams of benzene (C6H6) will produce 42 grams of CO2? 2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: -

12.41 g

Explanation: -

Mass of CO₂ = 42 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 x 1 + 16 x 2 = 44 g / mol

Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{42}{44 g/mol}

= 0.9545 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this process is

2C₆H₆ + 15O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced chemical equation we see

12 mol of CO₂ is produced from 2 mol of C₆H₆

0.9545 mol of CO₂ is produced from \frac{2 mol C6H6 x 0.9545 mol  CO2}{12 mol CO2}

= 0.159 mol of C₆H₆

Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 12 x 6 + 1 x 6 =78 g /mol

Mass of C₆H₆ =Molar mass x Number of moles

= 78 g / mol x 0.159 mol

= 12.41 g
