Carbon is a common component of?

Question

a. limestone

b. gasoline

c. all organisms

d. plastic

e. all of the above

Answer 1

Well lets see....

a.) Limestone's chemical name is CaCO3 so this has carbon in it.

b.) Gasoline contains over 500 hydrocarbons that may have between 3 to 12 carbons (Hydrocarbons ( HCs ) are any molecules that just contain hydrogen and carbon, both of which are fuel molecules that can be burnt ( oxidized ) to form water ( H2O ) or carbon dioxide ( CO2)).

c.)  Carbon dating can be used to determine the approximate age of something, therefore all organisms have carbon.

d.)  A certain type of plastic called Polycarbonate got their name because they are polymers having functional groups linked together by carbonate groups (-O-(C=O)-O-) in a long molecular chain.

therefore your answer should be E, all of the above!

e. all of the above.

c'mon, this is pretty obvious, you should just sit and think for 5 minutes.
