1. Valcouroceras is a New York State index fossil. Which mountain-building event

1 answer:

4 0

"Taconian orogeny" mountain-building event occurred in New York State during the time when Valcouroceras was living in oceans covering parts of New York State.

Option: C

Explanation:

A timeframe of mountain construction, which ended 440 million years earlier is known as the Taconic orogeny. A tremendous network of mountains developed from eastern Canada down to what is today the US East Coast Piedmont.

As the mountain range deteriorated during the Silurian and Devonian periods, sediments from the mountain range dispersed across the Appalachians and midcontinental North America of today. It took place when a terrane or sequence of terranes i.e volcanic arcs and microcontinents collide with east North America in a subduction zone that dips east.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The correct option is volume stays constant

Explanation:

When a gas container (in this case an aerosol can) is subjected to heat (from fire), the temperature of the can and subsequently the temperature of the gas itself increases, an increase in the temperature of the gas cause the pressure to also increase; as the gas molecules will collide more and faster with each other and against the wall of the can. However, the volume of the gas will remain the same as before it was subjected to the heat - the gas particles do not get destroyed or increased as a result of the heat (law of conservation of matter explains this).

Please answer this question

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Natural gas is colorless and odorless, and explosive, so a sulfur-smell (similar to rotten eggs) is usually added for early detection of leaks. ... Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

Suppose of copper(II) acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of acetate

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.0714 M for the given variables

Explanation:

The question is missing some data, but one of the original questions regarding this problem provides the following data:

Mass of copper(II) acetate: $m_{(AcO)_2Cu} = 0.972 g$

Volume of the sodium chromate solution: $V_{Na_2CrO_4} = 150.0 mL$

Molarity of the sodium chromate solution: $c_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M$

Now, when copper(II) acetate reacts with sodium chromate, an insoluble copper(II) chromate is formed:

$(CH_3COO)_2Cu (aq) + Na_2CrO_4 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CH_3COONa (aq) + CuCrO_4 (s)$

Find moles of each reactant. or copper(II) acetate, divide its mass by the molar mass:

$n_{(AcO)_2Cu} = \frac{0.972 g}{181.63 g/mol} = 0.0053515 mol$

Moles of the sodium chromate solution would be found by multiplying its volume by molarity:

$n_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M\cdot 0.1500 L = 0.00600 mol$

Find the limiting reactant. Notice that stoichiometry of this reaction is 1 : 1, so we can compare moles directly. Moles of copper(II) acetate are lower than moles of sodium chromate, so copper(II) acetate is our limiting reactant.

Write the net ionic equation for this reaction:

$Cu^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow CuCrO_4 (s)$
