<span>Coal, oil and natural gas are are called fossil fuels because they are composed of the remains of organisms that lived as long as 500 million years ago. These organisms, such as phytoplankton, became incorporated into the bottom sediments and then were converted, with time, to oil and gas.</span>

Because that's where they come from.  Coal, oil, and natural gas are the products
of dead dinosaurs rotting in the ground under great pressure for millions of years.

Newton's third law of motion is summarized as the law of action-reaction. For every action, there is an equal but opposite react
Fantom [35]

Answer:

When we stand on the floor, we apply a force on the floor surface in the downward direction and in return the floor also exerts an upward and equal force on us.

Explanation:

Newton' third law is vey famous and it states that for each and every action, there applies an equal but opposite reaction. Thus the action force and the reaction force always acts on pairs. But they does not contribute to the motion of the object.

One such example that illustrates the action and reaction force from Newton's law is when we stand on the floor we exert a force on the floor surface in downward direction. The floor surface also exerts an opposite and equal force on us in the upward direction.

Chemistry : the atomic number of an element is 73. Is this paramagnetic or diamagnetic? :) ...?
Finger [1]
<span>Paramagnetic, an easy way to check is to see if it is the last element within the orbital and you can do that simply by looking at the periodic table. The s orbital has two, the p has 6 so on and so forth. Some elements are considered diamagnetic if they are almost completely full. </span>

PH is 7.45. Calculate value of [H3O+] and [OH-]
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The answer is (H30+) =3,55e-8M and (OH-)=2,82e-7M

Explanation:

We use the formulas:

pH= - log(H30+)  and Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)

pH= - log(H30+)  ----< (H30+)= antilog- pH=antilog- 7,45=3,55E-8M

Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)

(OH-)=Kwater/(H30+)= 1,00e-14/3,55e-8 = 2,82e-7
