The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
The image represents A COMPOUND because the molecules are BONDED CHEMICALLY.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements combine together chemically. In the process of chemical combination, the chemical bonds that were present in the participating elements will be broken and new chemical bonds will be formed in the product.
We are asked to solve for the arc length of the intercepted arc and the formula is shown below:
Arc length = 2*pi*r(central angle/360°)
r = 5 feet
central angle = 10°
Solving for the arc length, we have:
Arc length = 2*3.14*5 (10/360)
Arc length = 0.872 feet
The arc length is 0.872 feet.
