Answer:

There are 20.8 g of fluorine in 55.5 g of copper (II) fluoride

Explanation:

x % by mass of a species in a specimen means there are x g of the species in total 100 g of a specimen

37.42 % F by mass means 100 g of copper (II) fluoride contains 37.42 g of F.

So, 100 g of copper (II) fluoride contains 37.42 g of F

55.5 g of copper (II) fluoride contains $\frac{37.42\times 55.5}{100}$ g of F or 20.8 g of F

Hence there are 20.8 g of fluorine in 55.5 g of copper (II) fluoride.

Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

$\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}$

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

$\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}$

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

$\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.
