Answer:

The principle of faunal succession state "Specific groups of organisms have followed one another in a definite sequence through the Earth's history."

Explanation:

Faunal succession basically means is that the fossils of the flora and fauna of different eras can be found in a specific order and never in the same strata. This allows the geologists to determine the time sequence and also to identify the various strata by dating the fossils that are found in each of them. The older version of fossils are found beneath the fossils of modified versions. For example fossils of simple feathers that cannot support flight are found to be succeeded by fossils of more complex feathers.

For the reaction N2O4(g) ⇋ 2NO2(g), Kc = 0.25 at 98°C. At a point during the reaction, the concentration of N2O4 = 0.50 M and th

Answer:

Q = 0.50

Left

Explanation:

At a generic reversible equation

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:

$Q = \frac{[C]^c*[D]^d}{[A]^a*[B]^b}$

Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.

When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.

In this case:

Q = $\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$
