Answer and Explanation:

Emerson determined the characteristics that a hero must possess. Among these characteristics, Emerson emphasizes the idea that a hero must be highly determined, in addition to having the ability to have an attitude to fight any evil that afflicts people, even if this puts the security of that hero at risk. Through this description, we can consider that for Emerson, Beowulf would be a great hero. First, Beowulf presents himself in history as a man who has a strong determination to use his strength for good. Beowulf is determined to help people and that determination is what allows him to face the most terrible beasts that plague innocent citizens. In addition, these beasts are often stronger than he, as Grendel was. This puts Beowulf in danger when facing these beasts, but he understands that he must use everything he has to protect people who cannot get rid of the terror that the beasts present. For this reason, he faces the beasts, even if it puts his safety at risk and causes his death.

One person I know, who could be considered a hero, from Emerson's description, is my mother. My mother always showed a lot of determination in taking care of her children, making sure that all the family's needs were met, through her tireless effort. She also puts herself in front of the problems that her children face, even putting herself at risk if necessary to protect her children. This shows that in addition to presenting the heroic characteristics determined by Emerson, she has strength and courage to face any adversity.

IrinaVladis [17]
From my understanding all you are doing is converting liters to grams. It says you have one leader of hydrogen peroxide. 1 liter equals 1000 grams. And if it is asking how many grams are in 1 liter hydrogen peroxide then the answer would be 1000 grams
