<em>"Sedimentary rocks are formed by the pressure over millions of years of organic material, inorganic material, sediment of course , and earth piling up over itself. Metamorphic rock and igneous rock originate either below the surface where plants lived and creatures roamed, or the heat from volcanic activity transformed everything. Sedimentary rock formation is the only geologic activity that permits and allows organic material preservation and hence fossil formation." </em>- <u>Charles Snider, Co-Founder of American Geode (on Quora.com)</u>

What evidence supports a conservation law? 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO

The law of conservation has been stated that the mass and energy has neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element in the chemical reaction.

<h3>Conservation law</h3><h3 />

The given equation has been assessed as follows:

  • \rm 6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has absence of hydrogen, while hydrogen has been present in the product. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The number of atoms of each reactant has been different on the product and the reactant side. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has the presence of carbon, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;3\;O_2

The product has the presence of hydrogen, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

A very hot cube of copper metal (32.5 g) is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 0C and it reach a thermal equilibrium of 17.
zysi [14]

Answer:

The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.

Explanation:

The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.  

- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water

-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C

-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C

-ΔT = 66.89 °C

-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C

T initial = 66.89 °C + T final

T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C

T initial = 84.149 °C.

Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. The wat
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

The boiling point decreases as the volume decreases.

Explanation:

The Temperature - Volume law otherwise called as Charles law is applied, which says that the volume of the given gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature measured in Kelvin. As the volume increases, the temperature also increases, if the volume decreases, then the temperature also decreases.

As per the Charles law, here the volume is decreased from 50 ml to 25 ml so the boiling point also decreases.
