What types of evidence do scientists use to determine evolutionary relationships among groups

Chemistry

lions [1.4K]3 years ago
5 0
There are several things that can help scientists evaluate which category something belongs to. The similarity in features is one of them. If two skulls looked alike, they were probably species of the same evolutionary category. For example say humans and monkeys rather than humans and dogs.
Similarly fossils have helped scientists categorise species. Study of the chromosomes (in cases with available chromosomes) can help scientists figure out a lot about the subjects and categorise them.

If a car is traveling 100 km/h and comes to a stop in 3 minutes,what is acceleration of a passenger who is using vehicle restrai
Rama09 [41]

We are given –

  • Final velocity of car is, v= 0
  • Initial velocity of car is, u= 100 km/hr
  • Time taken, t is = 3 minutes or 180 sec

Here–

\qquad\pink{\bf \longrightarrow  Initial\:  velocity =  100 \:km/hr}

\qquad\sf \longrightarrow  Initial\:  velocity = \dfrac{ 100 \times 1000}{3600} \:m/s

\qquad\pink{ \bf \longrightarrow  Initial\:  velocity = 27.78\: m/s}

Now –

\qquad____________________________

\qquad\purple{\bf \longrightarrow  Acceleration  = \dfrac{Final\: Velocity -Initial  \:Velocity }{Time}}

\qquad\purple{\bf \longrightarrow  Acceleration  = \dfrac{v -u}{t}}

\qquad\sf \longrightarrow  Acceleration = \dfrac{(0- 27.78)}{1800}

\qquad\sf \longrightarrow  Acceleration =\cancel{ \dfrac{- 27.78}{1800}}

\qquad\purple{\bf \longrightarrow  Acceleration = -0.15 \: m/s^2}

\qquad_______________________________

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:M(s) +H2SO4(aq) --> MSO4(aq) +H2(g)A vol
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal

Waves transport water in the deep ocean toward the coastlines. True or false
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Most likely true

Explanation:

because the speed of all ocean waves is controlled by gravity, wavelength, and water depth. ... Waves moving through water deeper than half their wavelength are known as deep-water waves. On the other hand, the orbits of water molecules in waves moving through shallow water are flattened by the proximity of the sea surface bottom.

Write the equilibrium expression for N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ↔ 2 NH3 (g) + heat I have no idea where to even start, due to the corona
motikmotik

Answer:

The expression of an equilibrium constant will given as:

K_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium

N_2 (g) + 3 H_2 (g)\rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3 (g) + heat

The expression of an equilibrium constant will given as:

K_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}

A gas has a volume of 200. mL at 350. mm Hg. What will its volume be if the pressure is changed to 555. mm Hg
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL

Explanation:

Based on Boyle's law, in a gas the volume is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature remains constant. The equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

<em>Where P is pressure and V volume of 1, intial state and 2, final state.</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

350mmHg*200mL = 555mmHgV₂

126.1mmHg = V₂

<h3>The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL</h3>
