A scientist found the fossilized remains of a modern badger species in a new layer of sedimentary rock. The fossil was dated to

the Holocene geologic epoch. If the scientist wanted to find an ancestor of this species from the Pleistocene geologic epoch, where should she look?

Since the scientists found a fossil from a modern day badger from the Holocene geologic epoch, the badger would be mostly the same, as this is the most recent, and still on going geologic epoch, starting from little less than 12,000 years ago. If the scientist wants to find a fossilized remains of earlier badgers, thus of their ancestors from the Pleistocene epoch, than the scientist should dig deeper. Not a lot deeper though, as the layers of rock from the Pleistocene are just bellow the layers of rock from the Holocene, as the Pleistocene is the second youngest geologic epoch, being the predecessor of the Holocene.

The solubility of acetanilide in hot water (5.5 g/100 ml at 100∘C) is not very great, and its solubility in cold water (0.53 g/
Olin [163]

Answer:

89.4%

Explanation:

Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.

So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g

The percent recovery is:

(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%

How do solve for #13?What is the boiling point of a solution made by dissolving 1.0000 mole of sucrose in 1.0000 kg of water?
exis [7]

What is the boiling point of a solution made by dissolving 1.0000 mole of sucrose in 1.0000 kg of water?

The change in Boiling Point of water can be calculated using this formula:

ΔTb = i * Kb * m

Where i is the van't hoff factor (the number of particles or ions), the kb is a constant (boiling point elevation constant) and m is the molality of the solution.

The kb for water is always 0.515 °C/m. Kb = 0.515 °C/m

The value for i in this case is 1. Since sucrose is a covalent compound and it doesn't dissociate into ions. i = 1

The molal concentration of the solution can be found using this formula:

molality = moles of sucrose/kg of water

molality = 1.000 mol / 1.000 kg of water

molality = 1 m

Now that we know all the values, we can use the formula to find the change in the boiling point of water:

ΔTb = i * Kb * m

ΔTb = 1 * 0.515 °C/m * 1 m

ΔTb = 0.515 °C

Finally, we are asked for the boiling point of the solution, not the change. The boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure is 100.00 °C. If the boiling point rises 0.515 °C when we prepare the solution. The boiling point of the solution is:

Boiling point solution = Boiling point of water + ΔTb

Boiling point solution = 100.000 °C + 0.515 °C

Boiling point solution = 100.515 °C

Answer: The boiling point of the solution is 100.515 °C.

¿El agua salada es una mezcla homogénea o heterogénea?
Sedbober [7]

The question is in another language, so the English translation of the question is as follows:

Is salt-water a hom.ogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

Answer:

Hom.ogenous mixture

Explanation:

There are two types of mixtures hom.ogenous and hetergenous.  a heterogeneous mixture has two or more visible phases while a hom.ogeneous mixture is composed of a single visible phase.

The salt-water is hom.ogeneous because the solve dissolve evenly in throughout the entire salt-water sample and gives visible phase.

Hence, the correct option is "hom.ogenous mixture".

Which alkane may be obtained by the reduction of 2-bromo propane
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

To reduce a haloalkane, it has to be eliminated first. This is because 2 bromopropanes are a saturated compound that can not be reduced by a saturated compound. Dehydrohalogenation of the haloalkanes into the form of propene and hydrogen bromide can lead to the elimination. The propene is then reduced to propane.
