Explain what is meant by Pleistocene ice age

1 answer:

7 0

By Pleistocene ice age is meant the glacial periods that appeared in the Pleistocene. The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary. It is an epoch when there was a so called ''ice age'' on the Earth, or rather a glacial period. During this ice age the planet had much lower temperatures on a global scale. The climate was also much drier. Lot of ocean water was frozen in the ice sheets that were stretching deep into the North American and Eurasian continents, which resulted in much lower sea levels that today as well. The places further north than 40 degrees of latitude were almost exclusively covered with ice, so life was almost impossible apart from some coastline places.

Part A

Roman55 [17]

These are two questions and two answers

Question 1.

Answer:

7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg

b) λ = 3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

c) c = 3.00 10⁸ m/s

d) s = ?

2) Formula:

The wavelength (λ), the speed (s), and the mass (m) of the particles are reltated by the Einstein-Planck's equation:

λ = h / (m.s)

h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

3) Solution:

Solve for s:

s = h / (m.λ)

Substitute:

s = 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m) = 2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s

To express the speed relative to the speed of light, divide by c = 3.00 10⁸ m/s

s = 2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s / 3.00 10⁸ m/s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³

Answer: s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c

Question 2.

Answer:

2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) m = 45.9 g (0.0459 kg)

b) s = 70.0 m/s

b) λ = ?

2) Formula:

Macroscopic matter follows the same Einstein-Planck's equation, but the wavelength is so small that cannot be detected:

λ = h / (m.s)

h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

3) Solution:

λ = h / (m.s)

Substitute:

λ = 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 0.0459 kg × 70.0 m/s) = 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m

As you see, that is tiny number and explains why the wave nature of the golf ball is undetectable.

Answer: 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.

Consider the reaction of 19.0 g of zinc metal with excess silver nitrate to produce silver metal and zinc nitrate. The reaction

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

14.5 g silver

Explanation:

This is a problem using the stoichiometry of the reaction. First thing we need is the balanced equation:

Zn + 2 AgNO3 ----------------------- 2 Ag + Zn(NO3)2

We know that 14.6 g of Zn did not reacted, then we can calculate the amount of Zn reacted and do the calculation given the above reaction.

amount Zn reacted: 19.0 -14.6 g Zn = 4.4 g Zn

atomic weight of Zn: 65.37 g/mol

mol Zn reacted: 4.4 g Zn x ( 1 mol Zn/ 65.37 g Zn) = 0.067 mol Zn

We know from the balanced equation that moles of Ag are produced from 1 mol Zn therefore the mol of Ag produced are:

0.067 mol Zn x 2 mol Ag/ 1mol Zn = 0.135 mol Ag

and the mass of silver then will be given by multiplying by the atomic weight of silver:

0.135 mol Ag x 107.9 g/mol = 14.5 g Ag
