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.

Mila [183]

By using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

<h3>What is a radioactive source?</h3>

A source that emits radiation like gamma, beta, and alpha rays is said to be radioactive. Using an electric field, we can discriminate between these different forms of radiation.

The field does not deflate the gamma rays, but it does deflate the alpha and beta rays, with the alpha being deflated to the field's negative portion and the beta to its positive part.

Hence, by using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

The experiments Galileo performed, such as rolling a ball down an inclined plane, are important because they
anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

How do the valves do in the heart​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.
