How was Earth’s atmosphere changed during the Great Oxygenation Event?

Consequences of oxygenation. Eventually, oxygen started to accumulate in the atmosphere, with two major consequences. Oxygen likely oxidized atmospheric methane (a strong greenhouse gas) to carbon dioxide (a weaker one) and water.

Answer: .Early organisms created oxygen from other gases in the atmosphere

Explanation:

It is believed that the atmosphere emerged about 4,500 million years ago, by a process that can be explained in five stages.

In the first stage, the atmosphere was shaped by volcanic emanations, such as water vapor, carbon and sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen. At this point, oxygen was barely present.

In the second stage, as the Earth cooled, the water vapor condensed and formed the oceans. Carbon dioxide reacted with the rocks of the earth's crust to create carbonates - (CO32-); a portion of them, when dissolved in the seas, generated salt water.

In the third stage, approximately 3.500 million years ago, bacteria appear, capable of carrying out photosynthesis, that is, of producing oxygen. This facilitated the development of marine life.

Once the atmosphere obtained sufficient oxygen, the fourth stage appeared, the evolution of large organisms as animals capable of breathing air.

This is how the current atmosphere containing the gases created in each of the previous phases was reached. These are kept in motion by winds and rains, allowing humans, and other living organisms, to breathe. For this reason, without them there would be no life on the planet.

Answer:

A reversible reaction is one where <u><em>B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is one that reagents are transformed into products and at the same time products are transformed into reagents. That is to say that as the products appear in the reaction, they can react with each other by regenerating the reagents again. It is represented by a double arrow, indicating that the reaction can be carried out both in one direction and the other way around.

At the start of the reaction, there is a large amount of reagents. As time goes by, that amount decreases and speed too.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the reaction there are no products. As the reaction happens, the products are being formed and their speed will increase to match the speed of the reagents. When the rates of products and reagents are equal and constant, it is possible to say that the reaction is in chemical equilibrium. At this point, both reactions continue to happen, but the total concentrations of reagents and products no longer change.

The Gibbs free enthalpy or free energy of a system is a measure of the amount of usable energy (energy that a job can perform) in that system.

When a reaction system is in chemical equilibrium, it is in the lowest possible energy state (it has the lowest possible free energy). If a reaction is not in equilibrium, it will move spontaneously towards it because that allows it to reach a state of lower and more stable energy. Then when the reaction moves towards equilibrium, the free energy of the system decreases more and more.

Finally, <u><em>a reversible reaction is one where B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>

What mass of H2O is produced by the combustion of 1.00 mol of CH4?
kkurt [141]
CH4 : H2O
1 : 2

number of moles of H2O = 1.00 x 2
number of moles of H2O = 2.00mol

mass = number of moles x molar mass

mass of H2O = 2.00 x (1 + 1 + 16)
mass of H2O = 36g

What diffuses more quickly: tetracarbon decahydride (C4H10) or iodine (12)? By how much?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Butane will effuse more quickly because it has a smaller molar mass

Explanation:

Molar mass of C4H10 = 58.123 g/mole

Molar mass of I2 = 253.808 g/mole

A student squeezes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this drink can be considered a combination of a suspension and a solution.

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution. The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit. The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension

On the right side, you can also select any answers or none at all. There is no wrong answer.

__________________________________________________________

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two main types of mixtures, homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. The components of a homogeneous mixture are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The properties of a mixture are the same everywhere. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are not evenly distributed. Different regions of this mixture have different   properties.

Particles in a homogeneous mixture do not settle down or separate when left alone. Particles in a heterogeneous mixture eventually separate or settle when left alone.

  • Colloids are a type of heterogeneous mixture that do not naturally settle out quickly, and can be separated with different methods.
  • A suspension is another type of heterogeneous mixtures in which the components of the mixture will quickly settle out or can be filtered or separated.

Here are photos of Edge just incase.
