Answer:

The number of protons determines an element's atomic number (Z) and distinguishes one element from another. For example, carbon's atomic number (Z) is 6 because it has 6 protons. The number of neutrons can vary to produce isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.

A bedroom has a volume of 118 m3 What is its volume in km3?

ruslelena [56]

I believe the problem is just simply asking for us to convert the value from one unit to the other. This case from m^3 to km^3. From the SI units, we know 1 km is equal to 1000 m. We do as follows:

118 m^3 ( 1 km / 1000 m )^3 = 1.18 x 10^-7 km^3

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$
