A woolly mammoth was found in 1999 buried in the frozen soil of the Siberian tundra. Carbon-14 dating indicated that it had died

about 20,000 years ago. Many fossils represent only the partial remains of organisms. However, a complete mammoth with bones, skin, hair, and internal organs intact represented a unique opportunity for scientists to investigate the lifestyle of this animal and the environment in which it lived. The low permeability of the tundra soil helped to preserve the mammoth. Explain why the tundra soil has a low permeability.

Tundra soils are formed at high latitudes which leaves the tundra always very cold. Tundra soils are generally frozen, and are classifed as Gelisols (this means that permafrost are within 100 cm of the soil surface). These permafrost are as a result of the freezing by winter of the underground water that was accumulated in summer. These soils freeze and thaw alot and as result of that, moisture do not permeate the soil easily. Also, due to this harsh temperature and underground permafrost, most organisms that died in the tundra are preserved within the soil.

Describe an experiment for the preparation and collection of Oxygen sodium peroxide​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Making oxygen

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.

Ammonia, nh3, for fertilizer is made by causing hydrogen and nitrogen to react at high temperature and pressure. How many moles
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

0.30molNH_3

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

3H_2+N_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

We can evidence the 1:2 mole ratio of nitrogen gas to ammonia; therefore, the appropriate stoichiometric setup for the calculation of the moles of the latter turns out to be:

0.15molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2}

And the result is:

0.30molNH_3

Best regards!

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The statement is  false. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The hydrogen bond or bridge is a type of dipole-dipole interaction that is generated from the attraction of a hydrogen atom and a very electronegative atom (oxygen, fluorine or nitrogen). Examples of hydrogen bridge molecules: Water (H20), ammonia (NH3).

Answer:

the proton and the neutron

Explanation:

mass of The proton is approximately  1.6726 × 10^-27 Kg

mass of the electron  is approximately 9.109 × 10^-31 Kg

mass of the neutron  is approximately 1.6749 × 10^-27 Kg

Here we see that mass of proton and neutron is approximately similar.

_____________________________________________

Lets see what is  the mass of these particle IN atm unit

mass of these particles can also be described in form of amu(atomic mass unit)

1 atm is the mass defined as 1/12 th of mass of the carbon-12(c-12) atom.

In terms of unit atm

mass of proton = 1 amu

mass of electron = 5.45 × 10−4 amu

mass of neutron = 1 amu

hence we can say that mass of proton = mass of neutron.

mass of atom is sum of mass of all the neutron and proton in the atom.

Hence, mass of neturon and atom cannot be equal.

This makes option four the neutron and the atom , the wrong choice.

correct answer is the proton and the neutron

therefore, An atom contains one proton , one electron and one neutron then, mass of proton is similar in mass of neutron.
