The Earth is always _______ as it revolves around the sun.

EastWind [94]

Answer

Rotating

Explanation:

The Earth is always being pulled towards the Sun by gravity.

The Earth is not moving fast enough to "escape" the Sun's gravity and leave the solar system, but it is going too fast to be pulled into the Sun. Therefore, it keeps going around and around( roating)- orbiting the Sun.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2.3 × 10²⁴ formula units KNO₃

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g.mol

Molar Mass of KNO₃ - 39.10 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 101.11 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u /> $2.3 \cdot 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ KNO_3}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3} )(\frac{101.11 \ g \ KNO_3}{1 \ mol \ KNO_3} )$ = 386.172 g KNO₃
