Alfred Wegener

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener in 1912, proposed the theory of continental drift from his careful studies of different land masses. From his observations, he suggested the following:

  • Some fossils of tropical plants were found in polar and temperate regions.
  • Fossils of mesosaurus were found in South America and South Africa now separated by the Atlantic ocean.
  • He fitted the continents into a giant land mass puzzles.
  • Coal beds in Europe were similar to those in United States.
  • Mountain chains in the edge of West Africa was similar to that of Eastern part of South America.

His theory lacked a mechanism which facilitated the plate movement.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

unbalanced reaction:

C8H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

balanced for semireactions:

(1) 16H2O + C8H8 → 8CO2 + 40H+

(2) 10(4H+ + O2 → 2H2O)

⇒ 40H+ + 10O2 → 20H2O

(1) + (2):

balanced reaction:

⇒ C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

                      8 - C - 8

                     20 - O2 - 20

                      8 - H - 8

A 0.0200 gram piece of unknown alkaline earth metal, M, is reacted with excess 0.500 M H 2 SO 4 , and the hydrogen gas produced
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.981atm

Explanation:

According ot Dalton's law total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gas is equal to sum of partial pressures of individual gases.

total pressure= 1.01at

Number of gases=2

Gases: water vapor and hydrogen

partial pressure of water vapor= 0.029atm

1.01= partial pressure of water vapor+ partial pressure of hydrogen

1.01= 0.029 + partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.981atm
