Answer:

15%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of sugar = 15 g

Mass of water = 85 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 85 g

Mass of solution =?

Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 15 + 85

Mass of solution = 100 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the sugar in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Percentage = solute /solution × 100

Percentage = 15 / 100 × 100

Percentage of sugar in the solution = 15%

As you read from left to right across the periodic table atomic numbers and what by one of each element

Illusion [34]

Answer:

As we read from left to right across the periodic table atomic numbers are increased by one each of element.

Explanation:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the atomic number is increased by one and the number of valance electron in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation: It is already known that 1 mole of the gas( or 32g of O2) is equivalent to 22.4 Litres of the oxygen gas. So, 8g is equivalent to = (22.4/32) × 8 = 5.6 L of the gas.

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO is approximately 630 ft tall. How many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same

miskamm [114]

Answer:

142240

Explanation:

We are told in the question:

Height of Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO = 630ft

We are asked, how many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same

height when 1 dime is 1.35 mm thick.

Step 1

Convert height in ft to mm

1 ft = 304.8 mm

630ft =

Cross Multiply

630ft × 304.8mm/1ft

= 192024 mm.

Step 2

To find how many US dimes would be in a stack of the same height

= Total thickness/ Thickness of 1 US dime

= 192024 mm/1.35mm

= 142240

Therefore, the number of dimes that would be in a stack of the same

height is 142240
