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.

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2   I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to  balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.
