Answer:

Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.

Convert these weights to moles of each element:

85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.

14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.

Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.

Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.

The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.

Help help help. <br> please help me
inysia [295]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Solar panels are not toxic, so option A goes out the window.

Aesthetics don't really matter, so option B follows it out.

Option C makes a little sense, but less so than Option D. They aren't nearly as heavy as some of our current energy production methods.

Solar panels are expensive,  hard to store properly, and most are between 15 and 20 percent efficiency, compared with a diesel motor's 40 percent.
