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

“Na2SO3” represents sodium sulfite.What does the 4 mean in the formula 4Na2SO3?
Strike441 [17]

The mass of substance which consists the equal number of particles as 12 grams of Carbon-12 is said to be mole.

For example:

The balanced chemical equation for production of water from hydrogen and oxygen is:

2H_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

That means 2 moles of H_2 reacts with 1 mole of O_2 to give 2 moles of  H_2O.

The given formula is 4Na_2SO_3.

Hence, 4 represents the number of moles in 4Na_2SO_3 formula that is 4 moles of Na_2SO_3.

The number of atoms of sodium, Na in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 2 = 8

The number of atoms of sulfur, S in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 1 = 4

The number of atoms of oxygen in, O in 4Na_2SO_3 is:

4 \times 3 = 12

Which property of water makes it helpful to use in car radiators?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The correct answer is<span> C) Water takes long to heat and cool down than other liquids.

It doesn't climb up the sides of a tube any more than other solutions do, and being a universal solvent has nothing to do with radiators. It does however take a long time to heat and cool down since you don't have a 100+ celsius burner to heat it up in an instant.</span>

Determine the number of moles of the anhydrous salt present after heating, assuming that the contents of the aluminum cup after
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0.2 moles, assuming weight of dried salt

Explanation:

In order to determine the number of moles, we need to be aware of the mass of the substance in question.

Assuming the mass of the dehydrated KAl(SO_{4} )_{2}.H_{2} O is 50g.

No. of moles = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance.

= \frac{50g}{39+27+32*2+16*4*2\\)g/mol}

= 0.2 moles moles.
