If it is just a comparison, then it is nice to state that an Adult African Elephant can usually weigh up to 6.6 tons. Just regular 6.6 tons. No millions, no billions, no hundreds. So the weight of that elephant is 0.00000012% of the total amount of carbon released through burning fossil fuels. 

In all fairness to the elephant, the atmosphere is really heavy and is much more bigger than an elephant, so this isn't really a surprising answer

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.

2Mg + O2à MgO For this unbalanced chemical equation, what is the coefficient for oxygen when the equation is balanced? A. 1 B. 2
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A. 1

Explanation:

Unbalanced chemical reaction

                      Mg  +  O₂  ⇒  MgO

               Reactants    Elements    Products

                       1            Magnesium       1

                       2           Oxygen              1

Balanced chemical reaction

                      2Mg  +  O₂  ⇒  2MgO

              Reactants    Elements    Products

                       2           Magnesium       2

                       2           Oxygen             2

Conclusion

The coefficients of the balanced equation are 2, 1, 2
