Reflected shock waves allowed temperatures from 1230 to 1800 K and pressures from 7.3 to 9.5. atm to be obtained. These measurements have shown that cyclopentane is much less reactive than. cyclohexane, as for a given temperature the observed autoignition delay times were about ten times. higher for the C5 compound compared to the C6. Detailed mechanisms for the combustion of cyclohexane and cyclopentane have been proposed to.
Your Tax Dollars at Work. The average income in 2011 was $41,560. With this salary and a single filing status, you could expect to pay around $5,153 (12.4 percent of your earnings) in federal taxes, in addition to $2,577 (6.2 percent) toward Social Security and $603 (1.5 percent) toward Medicare.
The amount of the FICA payment depends on the income of the contributor; the higher the income, the higher the FICA payment. If FICA states, for example, that 12.4% of your salary goes toward Social Security and 2.9% goes toward Medicare, half of the payment is made by you and the other half by your employer. This means you pay 7.65% (6.2% and 1.45%) of your income, while your employer pays the other 7.65%.
