Answer:

85%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to calculate the molar mass of the molecule. We simply use the atomic masses of each of the elements. The atomic masses are as follows:

C = 12

H = 1

O = 16

N = 14

S = 1

All units are in a.m.u

The molecular mass is thus:

(135 × 12) + (96 × 1) + (16 × 9) + 14 + 32 = 1906g/mol

The percentage by mass of carbon = (135 × 12)/1906 × 100% = 85%

Wich has more energy rolling down a hill - a bowling ball or soccer ball? Explain your answer
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Bowling ball

Explanation:

They are traveling at the same speed, but the bowling ball has more mass.  The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because more force is needed to stop the rolling bowling ball. Two balls with different masses moving at the same speed have different amounts of kinetic energy.
