Answer:

The first choice. The rule is go left. Those subscript numbers always talk about the element to the left of them.

Explanation:

The straight forward answer is the first one.

You should always answer that when reading the chemical make up of molecules. Let's look at some examples.

C8 H18

Consider the 8. It must be describing how many carbons there are. If it was meant for the hydrogen, then what  does the 18 mean? You wouldn't know.

Now look at something a lot more complicated.

Mg3(PO4)2

Use the going left rule. That satisfies Mg doesn't it? There are 3 of them and 3 is correct.

The two at the end is also straightforward if you think about it. It must be telling you how many molecules are in the brackets. If that were not so, then you wouldn't be able to tell what it did. So there are 2 PO4

But you still have the 4 to deal with. Use the going left rule again. 4 must be telling you how many oxygens you have inside the brackets. There are 4 of them.

A sample of pure calcium fluoride with a mass of 15.0 g contains 7.70 g of calcium. How much calcium is contained in 40.0 g of c
Temka [501]

Answer:

20.53 g.

Explanation:

  • Knowing that every 15.0 g of pure calcium fluoride contains 7.70 g of calcium.

<u>Using cross multiplication:</u>

15.0 g of pure calcium fluoride contains → 7.70 g of calcium.

40.0 g of pure calcium fluoride contains → ??? g of calcium.

<em>∴ The mass of Ca in 40.0 g of calcium fluoride</em> = (7.70 g)(40.0 g)/(15.0 g) = <em>20.53 g.</em>

48 000 cm^2

Explanation:

8000      1cm cubes

 each 1 cm cube side is  1 cm^2   and there are six sides to the cube , so each cube has   6 cm^2  surface area

  and there are  8000 of them     8000 * 6 cm^2 = 48 000 cm^2

Raw materials used in the manufacturing of indigenous soap
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Fat

Alkali

Explanation:

Fat and alkali are the two primary raw materials needed to manufacture soap.

Sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is generally used as an alkali. The use of alkali depends on the intended application of the soap.

Raw animal fat was used in the past but these days, processed fat is used in the soap manufacturing process. Vegetable fats ( e.g, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil) are also being used in soap manufacturing.

Additives are also used to enrich the color and texture of the soap.
