A fossil is any natural evidence of prehistoric life that provides some idea of the size, shape, or form of the organism. A foss

il does need not to be a whole animal or plant. Broken fragments are also fossils, as are the tracks left behind by the organisms. Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed. The fossils found in rock formations of different time periods differ because the environment on Earth has changed.
Position of land masses of early Pennsylvania can be determined through fossil records because we know that most plants presently live on land. From this information, we can infer?

Continent drifts

Explanation:

The use of fossil evidences to support the correlation of land masses that are presently not together can suggests that continents do move and land masses can change position.

This was one of the earliest prove suggest by Alfred Wegener to back up his theory of continental drift.

  • Since fossils are evidence of prehisotric life, a place originally together should have the same fossil contents.
  • When they become separated, the fossil contents in their lithology should match.

Explain ways that organisms interact in helpful and harmful ways.
I am Lyosha [343]
Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.

Menthol is a flavoring agent extracted from peppermint oil. it contains c, h, and o. in one combustion analysis, 10.00 mg of the
marishachu [46]
Combustion reaction for menthol is as follows;
CxHyOz + O₂ ---> xCO₂ +  H₂O
Mass of CO₂ formed - 28.16 mg
Therefore number of moles formed - 28.16/ 44 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
Mass of water formed  - 11.53 mg
number of water moles formed - 11.53 mg/18 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
From CO₂,
1 mol of CO₂ - 1 mol of C and 2 mol of O
therefore number of C moles - 0.64 mmol
                                 O moles - 1.28 mmol
from H₂O
1 mol of H₂O - 2 mol of H and 1 mol of O
number of H moles - 1.28 mmol
                 O moles - 0.64 mmol

Mass of menthol initially - 10 mg
in reactions, the masses of products are equal to the masses of reactants. The excess mass to the products formed is due to O₂ in air
Original mass of menthol - 10 mg
mass of water and CO₂ - 11.53 mg + 28.16 mg = 39.69
Difference in mass - 39.69 - 10 = 29.69 mg
This difference comes from O moles in air - 29.69 mg/ 16 g/mol = 1.8556 mmol
then O moles coming from menthol - (1.28 + 0.64) - 1.8556 = 0.064 mmol

In menthol 
C moles - 0.64 mmol
H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.064 mmol
ratios of C:H:O
C          H         O
0.64    1.28      0.064
x1000  x1000    x1000 to get whole numbers
640       1280      64
10          20          1
Simplest ratio of C:H:O is 10:20:1
therefore empirical formula of menthol is C₁₀H₂₀O

A solution contains 35 grams of KNO3 dissolved in 100 grams of water at 40°C. How much more KNO3 would have to be added to make
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

32g

Explanation:

potassium nitrate has solubility of about 67g per 100g of water at 40°C, which means that potassium nitrate solution will contain 67g of dissolved salt for every 100g of water.

since at this temperature, our solution contains  35g of potassium nitrate 100g  of water. The solution will be unsaturated because of the less potassium nitrate.

to make saturated solution,

mass of potassuim nitrate = 67g - 35g

= 32g

which means dissolving another  32g  of potassium nitrate in solution at 40 °C will make saturated solution.
