Answer:

<h2>After 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Each minute, the mass is decreased by a 25.5%. So, we can find the mass after each minute period.

<h3>First minute.</h3>

330gr-0.255(330gr)=(330-84.15)gr=245.85 gr

<h3>Second minute.</h3>

245.85-0.255(245.85)=245.85-62.69=183.16gr

<h3>Third minute.</h3>

183.16-0.255(183.16)=183.16-46.70=136.45gr

<h3>Fourth minute.</h3>

136.45-0.255(136.45)=136.45-34.80=101.65

<h3>Fifth minute.</h3>

101.65-0.255(101.65)=101.65-25.92=75.73gr

Therefore, after 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.

Equation: 330-.255(5)=X. Multiply: .255(5)=1.275, 330-1.275=X. Subtract: 330-1.275=328.725 or 328.73 :)

At the sewing store, Eva bought a bag of mixed buttons. She got 64 large buttons and 16 small buttons. What percentage of the bu
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

80% of the buttons were large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that percentages are fractions.

We first need to find the total number of buttons that Eva bought

64 + 16 = 80

Then we need to divide 64 into 80 as a fraction of the whole (80 is our whole)

64 ÷ 80 = 0.8

To convert our decimal to a percentage, we must multiply it by 100.

0.8 * 100% = 80%

Therefore, 80% of the buttons were large.

Marcus wants to use a model to determine the difference
grigory [225]

Electron transfer theory describes the parameters which control the rate at which an electron is transferred from one atom or molecule to another.

<h3>What was the basic principle of Marcus theory?</h3>
  • In theoretical chemistry, Marcus theory is a theory originally developed by Rudolph A. Marcus, starting in 1956, to explain the rates of electron transfer reactions – the rate at which an electron can move or jump from one chemical species.
  • Marcus' method (also referred to as Marcus's method and Method of Marcus) is a structural analysis method which was designed to design concrete slabs with rectangular, orthogonal shapes. It represents an adaptation of the strip method.
  • Marcus Hush theory (M-H theory) was developed in 1956 by Rudolph A. Marcus which explains the fundamentals of the redox/ electron transfer reactions in terms of the rate of jumping/moving an electron from oxidant species (electron donor) to the reductant (electron acceptor).
  • The "Marcus Inverted Region" (MIR) is that part of the function of rate constant versus free energy where a chemical reaction becomes slower as it becomes more exothermic.

We want to see how we can model the difference: -8 - 3 + 3

The correct option is D:

"add 3 positive counters and 3 negative counters"

We know that Marcus starts with 8 negative counters, corresponding to the first term in our difference.

Now, let's study the math of our expression.

-8 - 3 + 3

Remember that we can perform the operation in any order we want, so we can write this as:

-8 + (-3 + 3)

Notice that the thing inside the parentheses is equal to zero, so we have:

- 8 + (-3 + 3) = -8

So to not change the value, we add 3 and we subtract 3.

Now if we have 8 negative counters, and we want to add 3 positive counters and not change the value, then we also need to add 3 negative counters to "cancel" the 3 positive counters we added.

Then the correct option is D.
