What is a foram and what is curious about the foram fossils of gubbio’s limestone?

Their fossilized shells formed these limestone rocks, which, like Gubbio's mountains, were once at the bottom of the ocean. Now exposed, they represent over a million years of a geological time period known as the Cretaceous.

Walter Alvarez found that forming a distinct boundary between the limestone of the two periods was a thin layer of red clay. Immediately below this clay boundary, the Cretaceous limestone was heavily populated with a wide mix of the fossils of tiny marine creatures called foraminifera, or “foram” for short.

On the Atlantic Coast, outside the town of Zumaia, Dutch geologist Jan Smit was studying the forams from a different ancient sea. Their fossilized shells formed these limestone rocks, which, like Gubbio's mountains, were once at the bottom of the ocean.

Which term describes a chemical equation in which all highly soluble compounds are written as dissociated ions
BartSMP [9]

Answer: IONIC EQUATION.

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the form by which a chemical reaction is represented mathematically. These are written in the form of symbols and chemical formulas of reactants and products which are taking part in the chemical reaction. A chemical equation can be written in two forms, these include:

--> MOLECULAR EQUATION: in this type of equations, the compounds are written and represented in a molecular form. This is sometimes referred to as a balanced equation.

--> IONIC EQUATION: This is a type of chemical equation in which the electrolytes in aqueous solution are expressed as dissociated ions. A typical illustrated example is seen in the reaction between AgNO3(aq) and NaCl(aq) :

Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

The (aq) written in the above equation signifies they are in aqueous solution.

The mass of an erlenmeyer flask is 85.135 g. after 10.00 ml of water is added to the flask, the mass of the flask and the water
BARSIC [14]
Subtracting the mass of (flask+water) from the empty flask gives:
95.023 g - 85.135 g = 9.888 grams of water
Dividing this by the given volume of 10.00 mL water gives:
9.888 grams of water / 10.00 mL of water = 0.9888 g/mL of water
Therefore, based on this sample, the density of water is 0.9888 g/mL, which is close to the usually accepted approximation of 1 g/mL.

How many atoms are present in 48.60 g of Mg
Ganezh [65]
1.204 x 10 ( 24 ) atoms of magnesium are present.
In order to go from mass of magnesium there have to do 2 things 

1. convert mass of Mg to moles of Mg using the molar mass of Mg as converted to a factor 

2. convert moles of Mg to atoms of Mg using the Avogadro's number ( 6.02 x 10  (23) as a conversion factor 
 
Hope my it helped a little :)  <span />
