Answer:

62.07 %

Explanation:

Chemical Formula =  (CH3)2CO = C3H6O

Mass of C = 12 g/mol

Mass of H = 1 g/mol

Mass of O = 12 g/mol

Mass of  C3H6O = 3(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 58 g/mol

Total mass of C in Acetone = 12 * 3 = 36 g

Mass Percent of C =  Total mass of C / Mass of Acetone   *  100

Mass percent = 36 / 58    *  100

Mass percent = 62.07 %

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The scientist who studies the earth constituent like solids, gas and liquid is called a geologist. Weathering and erosion are the correct blanks.

<h3>What are weathering and erosion?</h3>

The process of the deterioration of any solid particles like minerals, soils and rocks is called weathering. It occurs due to biochemical substances, atmospheric gases and water pressure.

The process of the transportation of the rocks and mineral particles away from their original position is called erosion it is due to forceful air and water.

The rocks moved from their original place to some another due to weathering and this process of their transportation is called erosion.

Therefore, <u>weathering </u>and <u>erosion </u>are the correct blanks.

Imagine a small synthetic vesicle made from pure phospholipids enclosing an interior lumen containing 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodi
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

<em>The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water. </em>

<em>Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.</em>
