Depends on the density of each material

for example: if this material has a big density theb it will sink however if this material has a small density it will float

Which period is older than the Triassic period? Cambrian Cretaceous Jurassic Paleogene.

scoundrel [369]

The Triassic period is one of the geological periods and is the shortest of the Mesozoic era. Cambrian is the older era than the Triassic period.

<h3>What is Cambrian and triassic period?</h3>

The Triassic period existed 250 -200 million years ago and started after the vastest and most extreme devastation ever. It is the 1st period of the Mesozoic and is known for the movement of the Dinosaurs on the land, flying pterosaurs and swimming plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

The Cambrian is the period of the Paleozoic era and is the most important period because of the appearance of many animals. In this period, the temperature raised on the planet and the ice sheets melted at a very dangerous rate leading to mass devastation.

Therefore, option A. <u>Cambrian</u> is older than the Triassic period.

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell

tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell, oxidation reaction occurs at anode whereas reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.

Hence, the half-cell reaction taking place at anode and cathode will be as follows.

At anode (Oxidation) : $Cr(s) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$ ...... (1)

At cathode (Reduction) : $Ag^{+}(aq) + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s)$

So, in order to balance the half cell reactions, we multiply reduction reaction by 3. Hence, reduction reaction equation will be as follows.

$3Ag^{+}(aq) + 3e^{-} \rightarrow 3Ag(s)$ ........ (2)

Therefore, overall reaction will be sum of equations as (1) + (2). Thus, net reaction equation is as follows.

$Cr(s) 3Ag^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3Ag(s)$

In the balanced reaction below, what is the mole ratio comparing iron (Fe) and oxygen gas (O2)?

zepelin [54]

The given balanced reaction is,

$4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) --->2Fe_{2}O_{3} (s)$

The stoichiometric coefficients of each element or compound represents the number of moles of that element or compound required for the complete reaction to take place.

The mole ratios of different products and reactants will be:

$\frac{Fe}{O_{2}} = \frac{4 mol Fe}{3 mol O_{2}}$

$\frac{Fe}{Fe_{2}O_{3}} = \frac{4 mol Fe}{2 Fe_{2}O_{3}}$

$\frac{O_{2}}{Fe_{2}O_{3}} =\frac{3 mol O_{2}}{2molFe_{2}O_{3}}$

So the mole ratio comparing iron (Fe) and oxygen gas ( $O_{2}$ ) is

4 : 3
