Alfred Wegener
Explanation:
Alfred Wegener in 1912, proposed the theory of continental drift from his careful studies of different land masses. From his observations, he suggested the following:
- Some fossils of tropical plants were found in polar and temperate regions.
- Fossils of mesosaurus were found in South America and South Africa now separated by the Atlantic ocean.
- He fitted the continents into a giant land mass puzzles.
- Coal beds in Europe were similar to those in United States.
- Mountain chains in the edge of West Africa was similar to that of Eastern part of South America.
His theory lacked a mechanism which facilitated the plate movement.

Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products

Answer:
Nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element.
Answer:
(a) Three translational degrees of freedom, 2 rotational degrees. 5 total
Cv = 5/2 R; Cp = 7/2 R
(b) and (c) 6 total degrees of freedom ( 3 translational, 3 rotational)
Cv = 3 R ; Cp = 4R
Explanation:
(a) O₂
Oxygen being a diatomic molecule has three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom since it can move in the three axis and can rotate around two.
(b) H₂O
This is a polyatomic molecule and it has three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom.
(c) Same as water it has three translational degrees of freedom and three rotational degrees of freedom
To calculate the heat capacities we have to make use of the equipartition theorem which tell us that for each degree of freedom imparts 1/2 R to the heat capacity at constant volume.
(a)
5 total degrees of freedom ⇒ Cv = 5/2 R
Cp ( heat capacity at constant pressure) is determined from the relation
Cp - Cv = R
Cp = 7/2 R for O2 molecule
(b) and (c)
Total degrees of freedom 6
Cv = 3 R
Cp = 4 R
Here we are ignoring any contribution of the vibrational modes to the contribution of the heat capacities
