Answer:

D. at the bottom of the lake buried by a landslide.

Explanation:

Hello,

Fossils are known as the ancient remains of the animals or plants that lived on earth so long ago. They are produced when different tissues of plants and animals parts are decomposed by microorganisms present in the soil, in addition to hard remains of bones, wood, shells and exoskeletons that are still accumulated. Such remains are usually buried under several layers of soil and debris, thus, they get compacted and consequently transformed into rocks.

Now, the most suitable environment for the preservation of fossil remains is at the bottom of a lake buried by a landslide, since the several layers get deposited over the fossil remains, taking care of them and subsequently promoting fossil preservation.

Best regards.

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₈H₁₈ + 12.5 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 1.0 kg of C₈H₁₈.

The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.23 g/mol.

1.0 × 10³ g × 1 mol/114.23 g = 8.8 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced from 8.8 moles of C₈H₁₈

The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8. The moles of CO₂ produced are 8/1 × 8.8 mol = 70 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 70 moles of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

70 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 3.1 × 10³ g = 3.1 kg
