What category of organisms makes up the largest percent of the the fossils discovered? A. Land animals B. Marine animals C. Microorganisms

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Marine animals

Explanation:

A fossil is any remains of ancient life. Fossils can be body fossils, which are remains of the organism itself or trace fossils, such as burrows, tracks, or other evidence of activity(Lumen Learning).

Fossils of land animals are less common because they may not have been buried. However, land organisms may become buried underneath by mudslides or ash from a volcanic eruption, or covered by sand in a sandstorm.

Marine fossils are more common owing to quick burial. Marine animals that die near a river delta may be buried by sediment carried by the river. A storm at sea may shift sediment on the ocean floor, covering and helping to preserve skeletal remains(Lumen Learning).

Which statement best compares the melting points of magnesium and sodium?

a
Magnesium has a higher melting point because it contributes one additional electron per atom than sodium in the electron sea.
b
Sodium has a higher melting point because it contributes one fewer electron per atom than magnesium in the electron sea.
c
Sodium has a higher melting point because it contributes two fewer electrons per atom than magnesium in the electron sea.
d
Magnesium has a higher melting point because it contributes two additional electrons per atom than sodium in the electron sea.

Answers

A because according to electron sea theory magnesium shares two valence electrons in electron sea while sodium shares one suggesting that magnesium has stronger metallic bond than sodium so breaking metallic bond in magnesium will require more energy as compared to breaking metallic bond in sodium

The melting point of magnesium is higher than the melting point of sodium because it contributes two additional electrons per atom than sodium in the electron sea. Thus option d is correct.

What is melting point?

Melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it converts from solid state to liquid state where, the two phases are in equilibrium. Melting point is affected by the bond type, molecular weight, temperature and pressure.

Melting point of elements increases along a period because the atomic size is decreasing along the period and molecular weight is increasing. Thus, the nuclear attractive pull increases resulting in higher energy needed to break the attractive force.

Magnesium is 12th element and sodium is 11th element. Thus magnesium is smaller than sodium and have one more electron than sodium. Thus magnesium have high molecular weight and high nuclear attraction leads to its higher melting point.

How many pounds of ice are required to absorb 4900 kJ of heat as the ice melts? The heat of fusion of water is 0.334 kJ/g.

Answers

Answer:

m = 32.34 pounds of ice.

Explanation:

In this case we need to use the following expression of heat:

q = m * ΔHf   (1)

Where:

q: heat absorbed in J or kJ

m: mass of the compound in g

ΔHf: heat of fusion of the water in kJ/g

We are asked to look for the mass of ice in pounds, so after we get the grams, we need to convert the grams to pounds, using the following conversion:

1 pound --------> 453.59 g   (2)

So, we have the heat and heat of fusion, from (1) let's solve for the mass, and then, using (2) the conversion to pounds:

q = m * ΔHf  

m =  q / ΔHf

m = 4900 / 0.334 = 14,670.66 g of ice

Now, the conversion to pounds:

m = 14,670.66 g * 1 pound/453.59 g

m = 32.34 pounds of ice.

[please answer fast!] If the hydroxide ion concentration is 2x10^-3 M, what is the pH of the solution? Show your working.

Answers

Answer:

pH = 11.30

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]

To find [H⁺] from [OH⁻] -Concentration of hydroxide ion-, we must use the equilibrium of water:

H₂O(l) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻³M

[H⁺] = 5x10⁻¹²M

pH = -log (5x10⁻¹²M)

pH = 11.30

If 25.0 grams of carbon dioxide are used in photosynthesis how many grams of glucose (C6H12O6) could be Produced according
to the following equation : 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 602

Answers

Answer:

17.05 g of glucose

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 602

From the equation;

6 mol of CO2 produces 1 mol of  C6H12O6

Converting to masses;

CO2:

Mass =Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 6 mol * 44 g/mol = 264 g

C6H12O6:

Mass =  Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 1 mol * 180 g/mol = 180 g

This means 264g of CO2 produces 180g of C6H12O6

25g of CO2 would produce x g of C6H12O6

264 = 180

25 = x

x = 25 * 180 / 264

x = 17.05 g
