Several billion years ago, which gas was the least prevalent in the atmosphere?

1 answer:

7 0

The least prevalent gas in the atmosphere was oxygen several billion years ago. This is because it was only around 2.4-3 billion years ago when the first photosynthetic bacteria evolved, meaning they produce food from inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is then released in the atmosphere and this is called The Great Oxygenation Event.

Other than through sexual reproduction, how can variations in genetic material occur in a population?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Through their adaptations from their habitat; environment

Explanation:

Charles Darwin explains evolution and their genetic material evolves during the process. For example, fruit birds have narrow bills whilst seed-eating birds have big bills. The foods they eat forced their DNA to adapt with the system in order to survive.

Convert 1.45 × 1024 atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.

anygoal [31]

1 mol = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms of carbon
x mol = 1.45 * 10^24 atoms of carbon

1/x =6.02*10^23 / 1.45 * 10^24

6.02 * 10^23 x = 1.45 * 10^24
x = 1.45 * 10^24 / 6.02 * 10^23
x = 2.41 mols of carbon

2. If 1.75 L of a gas is at 700. K and is under 250. kPa of pressure, what will the new

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Final volume is 3.50L

Explanation:

It is possible to find volume of a gas using combined gas law:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Where P is pressure, V is volume and T is temperature of 1: initial state and 2: final state

If initial state of the gas is:

1.75L of a gas is at 700K and is under 250kPa of pressure

And final state is:

298K and 53.2kPa.

Replacing:

$\frac{250kPa*1.75L}{700K} =\frac{53.2kPa*V_2}{298K}$

0.625L = 0.1785*V₂

3.50L = V₂

Thus, final volume is 3.50L
