Observable matter makes up about what percentage of the universe? 5% 10% 50% 95%

The universe as we know it is home to several galaxies, planets and stars. Hydrogen and helium were the most abundant elements present in the early universe. Heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, phosphorus and even metals were later formed through various fusion reactions in stars.

Nevertheless, matter makes up only 5% of the universe. Nearly 95% is referred to as 'dark matter' which is a subject of research in many scientific communities.

Ans a) 5%

observable matter makes up 5% of the universe

the millers tale is the answer.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"
