In general, the skeleton is usually what becomes preserved in fossil. This is because over time, soft tissues and organs will degrade and decompose before the necessary time passes for fossilization. Bones are much more rigid and are able to overcome the process of fossilization. Based on this information, we can eliminate the skeleton and probably the feathers. We can eliminate feathers because we know and have evidence that feathers are capable of being fossilized. I would also say that we could eliminate the beak for this question. That's because birds' beaks are made of a protein called beta keratin, which is quite hard and durable. This leaves you with the decision of either the skin or internal organs. Which one do you think would degrade first? Think about the predators that may come by and eat parts of the bird after it dies.

How many moles of water as a gas can be formed 2.45 L
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.11mole

Explanation:

Let us assume that the condition is at standard temperature and pressure(STP);

 Given parameters:

        Volume of water  = 2.45L

   Unknown:

       Number of moles found in this volume of water  = ?

Solution;

 At STP;

                 Number of moles  = \frac{volume of gas}{22.4}

 Input the parameters and solve;

                  Number of moles of water  = \frac{2.45}{22.4}   = 0.11mole

The number of moles of water found is  0.11mole
