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.

What are six traits of a good scientific observer

Ratling [72]

1. Curiosity-They love to learn 2. Open-mindedness- he accepts criticisms fairly well
3. Rationality- he does not believe in superstitions and think that everything has a scientific explanation
4. Critical Mindedness & Correct Judgement- he does not easily jump to conclusions but tries to verify his results by (if possible) repeating the experiment
5. Intellectual Honesty- does not alter his observations and writes the correct observations he has seen
6. Objectivity- he writes accurate results

ki77a [65]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons present for a specific atom.

A compound is 7.74% hydrogen and 92.26% carbon by mass. At 100°C a 0.6883 g sample of the gas occupies 250 mL when the pressure

ycow [4]

Answer: The molecular formula for the compound is $C_6H_6$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of C = 92.26 %

Percentage of H = 7.74 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 92.26 g

Mass of H = 7.74 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{92.26g}{12g/mole}=7.68moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{7.74g}{1g/mole}=7.74moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 7.68 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{7.68}{7.68}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{7.74}{7.68}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H = 1 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH$

Calculating the molar mass of the compound:

To calculate the molecular mass, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Or,

$PV=\frac{m}{M}RT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 820 torr

V = Volume of gas = 250 mL = 0.250 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL )

m = mass of gas = 0.6883 g

M = Molar mass of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L. torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the gas = $100^oC=(100+273)K=373K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$820torr\times 0.250L=\frac{0.6883g}{M}\times 62.3637\text{ L torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 373K\\\\M=\frac{0.6883\times 62.3637\times 373}{820\times 0.250}=78.10g/mol$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 78.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 13 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{78.10g/mol}{13g/mol}=6$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 6)}H_{(1\times 6)}=C_6H_6$

Hence, the molecular formula for the compound is $C_6H_6$

An atom of an element forms a 2+ ion. In which group on the Periodic Table could this element be located?

Mashutka [201]

To form a 2+ ion, you need to lose two negatively charged electrons. Because metals have relatively empty outer shells, they lose electrons. Metals are on the left hand side of the table, and in order to lose two electrons, you need to have two electrons to start with. The groups of the table are based on the number of electrons an element has in the outer shell, so Group 2 metals will lose two electrons to gain a 2+ charge
