The answer is C) Nuclear.

The answer is C because, Renewable resources are something that can be re-used over and over again. Then Nonrenewable resources can't be made right away once it's been used. That being said, the answer is C.

A) Geothermal can be reused, which makes it renewable.

B) Solar can also be reused, which makes it renewable.

C) Nuclear can NOT be reused, which makes it nonrenewable.

D) Biomas is indeed renewable.

on dr v’s bookshelf there are 23 science textbooks each with an average of 31 chapters of each chapter contains 5 pages how many

olga55 [171]

Answer:

There are 3600 pages to 2 significant figures

Explanation:

Working only with the information given, we have that there are 23 books each with about 31 chapters.

This means that if 1 book has 31 chapter, the 23 science books will have

31 X 23 chapters =713 chapters in total.

If each chapter contains 5 pages, for the 713 chapters we will have a total of 713 X 5 pages = 3565 pages.

Rounding off the answer to 2 significant figures , we are looking to have only two non-zero figures in our answer. To do this, we count two numbers from the left. This will be numbers 3 and 5.

Next, we check the net number after 5 to see if it is greater than 5 if it is, we will have to add the number (1 ) to the 5. This shows that we are approximating upwards, to account for the fact that that number has passed the middle point.

After this, we change the remaining two numbers (6 and 5) to zeroes.

This will give us 3600 pages.

Two samples of potassium iodide are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 13.0g of potassium and

Leona [35]

Answer:

79.43kg

Explanation:

To adequately solve this problem, we should know the law of constant composition. This is a pointer to the fact that no matter the type of sample, the percentage compositions of potassium and iodine still remains the same. We can use these masses to get a formula and we would know the percentage compositions in whatever mass we are dealing with.

First of all, we add the masses in the first sample. 13 + 42.3 = 55.3

Hence, the percentage composition of the potassium is 13/55.3 * 100 = 23.51%

The percentage composition of the iodine is = 100 - 23.51 = 76.49%

Now, we need to get the formula of the compound. We can get this by dividing the percentage compositions with the atomic masses. The atomic mass of potassium and iodine is 39 and 127 respectively.

Potassium = 23.51/39 =0.603

Iodine = 76.49/127 = 0.602

We then divide by the smaller value to get the formula and this shoes our formula is KI

We can see they have a ratio of 1 to 1, meaning one atom of potassium to one atom of iodine. This further confirms the percentage compositions of 23.5 to 76.5

Now to get the mass of iodine yielded, let us say the mass is xkg

This means x/(x + 24.4) * 100 = 76.5

100x = 76.5( x + 24.4)

100x = 76.5x + 1866.6

100x - 76.5x = 1866.6

23.5x = 1866.6

x = 1866.6/23.5 = 79.43kg

What two things must occur in order for a light ray to refract when it strikes

Ann [662]

Answer:

When light passes from one transparent medium to another, the rays are bent toward the surface normal if the speed of light is smaller in the second medium than in the first. The rays are bent away from this normal if the speed of light in the second medium is greater than in the first.

If 65.39 g of zinc are mixed with some unknown mass of hydrochloride acid, 136.29 g of zncl2 are formed along with 2.00 g of hyd

zepelin [54]

How much hydrogen chloride acid was used?

72.916 g of hydrochloric acid was used.

Given:

Mass of Zn = 65.39 g

Mass of $ZnCl_{2}$ =136.29 g

Mass of $H_{2}$ = 2 g

Equation:

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid:

Zn + 2HCl → Zn $Cl_{2}$ + $H_{2}$

Hydrogen gas is created when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, which causes the process to bubble ferociously. Another sign that a chemical reaction is taking place is the generation of a gas.

Calculation:

A number of equivalents equate:

Number of equivalents = $\frac{given mass}{Molecular Mass}$ x 1000 x equivalent factor
