How can you use a fossil to indemnify the environment where the organism lived

Climate is one of the factors that determines where different species of plants and animals can live, so paleontologists look for clues to a location's ancient climate in the types of fossil plants and animals they find there. For example, no modern crocodile species lives in a climate with long periods of freezing temperatures, so scientists hypothesize that ancient crocodiles had the same requirement for year round warmth. That leads them to consider the 110-million-year-old crocodile fossils from the Washington, D.C. to be part of a large body of circumstantial evidence that temperatures there were warm year round during the Early Cretaceous. Similarly, coal beds and fossil trees in the Arctic Slope of Alaska are among the many clues that Alaskan temperatures were very warm during the Late Cretaceous.

If the visible light spectrum is from 400 to 700 nm, would light with an energy of 2.79 x 10^-19 J be visible with the naked eye
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

713 nm. It is not visible with the naked eye.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Energy of light (E): 2.79 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
  • Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
  • Speed of light (c): 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s
  • Wavelength (λ): ?

Step 2: Calculate the wavelength of the light

We will use the Planck-Einstein equation.

E = h × c / λ

λ = h × c / E

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s × 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s / 2.79 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 7.13 × 10⁻⁷ m

Step 3: Convert "λ" to nm

We will use the relationship 1 m = 10⁹ nm.

7.13 × 10⁻⁷ m × (10⁹ nm/1 m) = 713 nm

This light is not in the 400-700 nm interval so it is not visible with the naked eye.

In the lab you measure a clean dry crucible and cover to be 24.36 grams. You obtain a 2cm piece of pure magnesium metal. After s
mart [117]

Answer:

1) 0.3g Mg

2)0.5g MgO

3)0.2g O

4)0.01mol Mg & 0.01mol O

5)0.01mol MgO

6) Empirical formula MgO

Explanation:

The mass og Mg is obtained by substracting 24.36g from 24.66g:

24.66 - 24.36 = 0.3g Mg

The ignition of Mg means that it's reacting with oxygen to form an oxide. The increase in the crucible mass after the Mg ignition is due to the addition of oxygen. However, the addition of few drops of water produces a new compound: a hydroxide. According to the oxidation state og Mg (2+), the only magnesium oxide possible is MgO. It happens because the oxidation state of oxygen in oxides is 2-. Which means that just one oxygen atom is required to electrically neutralize one magnesium atom.

We can use a conversion factor to know how much MgO is made from from 0.3 g of Mg:

0.3g Mg*\frac{16gO}{24.3gMg}= 0.2g O

Thereby the mass of the oxide is 0.2g O + 0.3g Mg = 0.5g MgO

We convert the mass of oxygen and magnesium to the respective amounts in moles by using conversion factors:

0.2g O*\frac{1 mol O}{16g O}= 0.01mol O

0.3g Mg*\frac{1mol Mg}{24.3g Mg}= 0.01mol Mg

The moles of MgO can be obtained from:

0.5g MgO*\frac{1mol MgO}{40.3g MgO}= 0.01mol MgO

To obtain the empirical formula, the amount fo moles of each elements must be divided by the smallest one, in this case, 0.01.

The result for both number of  Mg atoms and O atoms is 1. This can be interpreted to mean that there is a Mg atom for each O atom forming the  formula unit of the compound.

The step when water is added to the compound resulting after heating does not affect the calculations necessary for the magnesium oxide.

If 1.8 L of water is added to 2.5 L of a 7.0 M KOH solution, what is the molarity of the new solution?
e-lub [12.9K]
Molarity= (number of moles of that substance) / (Volume of solution in litres)

7= (number of moles of HCl) / 0.05

Thus,

Number of moles of HCl = 7 x 0.05 = 0.35

The number of moles of HCl will remain unchanged.

Now, for new solution,

0.35= 0.35 / (New volume of solution in litres)

Thus,

New volume = 1 litre

Thus, amount of water added = 1- 0.05 litre = 5.0 M
