The first thing you have to do is find the number of mols. That's done in terms of the masses.
mol = mass of sample / molar mass
mol = 0.900 / 12.0
mol = 0.0750 mol Carbon

Next Each mol of carbon contains 6 mol of electrons. 
mol electrons = 6 * mol of carbon 
mol electrons = 6* 0.0750 = 0.450 mol

Next find out how many electrons are in 0.450 mol
1 mol = 6.02 * 10^23 
0.450 mol  = 6.02 * 10^23 * 0.45 = 2.71 * 10^23 electrons

Finally find the charge in coulombs
1 electron has a charge of 1.60 * 10 ^- 19
2.71 * 10^23 electrons have a charge of 1.6*10^-19 * 2.71*10^23
The answer is 43360 Coulombs = 4.34 * 10^4 coulombs. 

I have deliberately not used textbook formulas because each textbook has its own format.

Find the intensity of a 55 dB sound given I 0=10^-12W/m^2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

β(dB)=10 × log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{0} })

I_{0}=10^{-12} W/m^{2}

β=55 dB

Therefore plugging into the equation the values,

55=10 log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

5.5= log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

10^{5.5}= \frac{I}{10^{-12} }

316227.76×10^{-12}= I

I= 3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Which of the following woud be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?
leonid [27]

Answer: C solar energy

Solar energy has the greatest  impact on primary productivity.

Explanation:

Primary productivity  is the amount of organic compounds synthesized from carbon dioxide. Primary production occurs by the process of photosynthesis. Since the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

The synthesis can occur in atmosphere as well as aquatic environment. The organisms that perform the function of primary production are called producers .In terrestrial regions plants are the producers and in aquatic systems algae are the  primary producers.

A person's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processe
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T_s = 6.8 degree C

Explanation:

As per thermal radiation we know that rate is heat radiation is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \sigma eA (T^4 - T_s^4)

here we know that

T = 34 degree C = 307 K

A = 1.38 m^2

e = 0.557

\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} W/m^2K^4

\frac{dQ}{dt} = 120 J/s

now we have

120 = (5.67 \times 10^{-8})(0.557)(1.38)(307^4 - T_s^4)

120 = (4.36 \times 10^{-8})(307^4 - T_s^4)

T_s = 279.8 K

T_s = 6.8 degree C

Neurons that deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord are called __________.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

First Order Neurons

Explanation:

First Order Neurons

The main function of First Order Neurons is to deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord.

In Actual there are three orders of neurons, the first order neuron carry signals from periphery to the spinal chord, the second order neuron carry signal from from spinal chord to the thalamus. And the third order neurons carry signals to the primary sensory cortex.
