What does the use of the phrase "the lucky ones" convey about the author's viewpoint?
What does the phrase "But we never ate enough to
satisfy our hunger" demonstrate about the author?

1. He feels worse off.

2. His awareness of the grim situation.

Explanation:

Elie Weisel's memoir "Night" is about the persecution of the jews by the Germans during the worst genocide in world history. The events leading up to the Holocaust and the resulting after-effects through his personal experience provides one of the most prominent witness accounts of the crime.

When Weisel states that "lying down wasn't an option", he reveals how congested space was in the cabin. The "lucky ones" were able to breathe in the fresh air from the window, while the rest have to be satisfied with wherever they are. This reveals his realization of the grim situation inside the over-packed cabin, where there is hardly any space to move.

And when he said that they "never ate enough to satisfy our hunger", he presents the realization and understanding of the grim situation in the train's cabin where eating is not a luxury, but a necessity to stay alive. And for that, they know they have to "economize, to save for tomorrow" rather than just stay full once.  

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
