Answer:
Modern whales evolved by natural selection over long time periods through descent from common ancestors
Explanation:
According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a biological process by which organisms adapt and change in response to their environment. In this case, ancient whales that were better suited to environmental conditions survived and produced more offspring than non-adapted individuals. In consequence, predominant adaptive traits observed in modern whales were favored by natural selection in the past, while unsuccessful phenotypes progressively disappeared.
Answer:
63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
Explanation:
<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>
The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:
<em>Mass water:</em>
3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water
<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>
0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.
<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>
0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass percent:</em>
2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
