Mass of K = 39.1g/mole
Mass of H = 1g/mole
Mass of C = 12g/mole
Mass of O = 16g/mole
Mass of KHCO3 = 39.1 + 1 + 12 + 3*16 = 100,1g/mole

100% ------------ 100.1g of KHCO3
x% ----------------- 12g of C
x = 11,99% of C in KHCO3

100% -------------- 100.1 of KHCO3
y% --------------------3*16g of O
y = 47,95% of O in KHCO3

100% ------------- 100.1g of KHCO3
z% ---------------- 1g of H
z = 0,99% of H in KHCO3

11,99% + 47,95% + 0,99% = 60,93% ≈ 61%

answer: C

Question
Which term is used for the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion?
A. acceleration
B. displacement
C. momentum
D. inertia
Solution 1
It's inertia. Inertia is the force that resists change in motion, like the planets and gravity. Inertia is effected by gravity
Solution 2
D. Inertia
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, displacement is the overall change in an object'a position, an momentum is mass in motion.

Question
Element X is found in two forms: 90.0% is an isotope that has a mass of 20.0, and 10.0% is an isotope that has a mass of 22.0. What is the atomic mass of element X?
A. 20.0
B. 20.2
C. 20.8
D. 21.2
E. 21.8
Can anyone explain this one for me?
Solution 1
[tex]M_{X} = \frac{(20.0\cdot 90\%)+(22.0\cdot10\%)}{100\%} = \frac{2020}{100} = 20.2[u][/tex]

answer: B
Solution 2

The relative atomic mass of element X which has 2 isotopes  is 20.2 u.

What is relative atomic mass ?

Relative atomic mass of an element is an average of masses of atoms of isotopes. It is found out by the formula ,

relative atomic mass=(mass×abundance of isotope 1 )+(mass×abundance of isotope 2)/100

Considering the example given ,atomic mass of element X is found out as,

relative atomic mass=(20×90)+(10×22)/100=2020/100=20.2 u.

Relative atomic mass is a dimensionless physical quantity  which is an average  ratio of mass of atoms in a sample to the atomic mass constant.Atomic mass constant is 1/12 of mass of carbon-12 atom.

Average atomic mass is relative atomic mass  which is calculated from percent composition.Relative atomic mass is unit less and is a physical quantity.It is a multiple of standard atomic mass unit.

Question
What does a red shift indicate about a galaxy?
A. It is moving toward Earth.
B. It is moving very fast.
C. It is slowing down.
D. It is moving away from Earth.
Solution 1
The only cause we know of that could shift the spectrum of a source toward longer wavelengths isthe source moving away from us. That's how we interpret the red shift when we see it, and that's where the whole idea of the expanding universe comes from. But ... just like gravity and the Earth going around the sun ... it can't be proved, so it's "only a theory".
Solution 2
When a red shift happens that means a galaxy is moving away from us.
Therefore the answer is D.

Question
The combination of units written kg·m/s2 can be used for which of the following?
A. acceleration
B. mass
C. force
D. weight
Solution 1
C. force because the force able to communicate to a mass of one kilogram an accerelation of 1m/s²
       Kg.m
F= -------------
         S²
Solution 2

The combination of units written kg· [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]can be used for force.

What is force?

A force is just a factor that can impact an object's motion. A force may cause a mass item to accelerate by changing its velocity. A push as well as a pull can also be used to describe forces. A force is a vector quantity even though it has both magnitude , direction as well. It can be denoted by the symbol F.

The formula of force (F) = m×a.

where, m is mass of the particle and a is acceleration. It is known that unit of mass is kg and acceleration is [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex].

Now, put the unit of given data in above formula.

F= kg×[tex]m/s^{2}[/tex].

Question
A car accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 15 s. What is the car's acceleration?
Solution 1
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (25 - 15) = 10 m/s
Time = 15 s

Acceleration = 10/15 = 2/3 m/s
