Answer:

The answer to your question is Pd₂H₄

Explanation:

Data

mass of palladium = 42.56 g

mass of hydrogen = 0.8 g

Process

1.- Convert the grams of each substance to moles

                   106 g of Pd ----------------- 1 mol

                    42.56 g of Pd -------------  x

                      x = (42.56 x 1)/106

                      x = 0.402 moles

                      1 g of H --------------------- 1 mol

                     0.8 g of H ------------------ x

                     x = (0.8 x 1)/1

                     x = 0.8 moles

2.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Palladium = 0.402/0.402 = 1

Hydrogen = 0.8/0.402 = 1.99 ≈ 2              

3.- Write the empirical formula

                                 PdH₂

4.- Calculate the mass of the empirical formula

PdH₂ = 106 + 2 = 108

5.- Divide the molar mass by the molar mass of the empirical formula

                     216.8/108 = 2

6.- Get the molecular formula

                 2(PdH₂) = Pd₂H₄

Answer:

Only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characters in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated.

Explanation:

According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

If you can do this for me that would be great thank you!​
Stels [109]

Answer:

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram.

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides.

When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

Gravitational energy or gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is the potential energy associated with the gravitational field, which is released when the objects fall towards each other.

In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity. Some standard textbooks define weight as a vector quantity, the gravitational force acting on the object. Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the magnitude of the gravitational force

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

How did the first DNA formed
blsea [12.9K]
Experiments suggest that organic molecules could have been synthesized in the atmosphere of early Earth and rained down into the oceans. RNA and DNA molecules — the genetic material for all life — are just long chains of simple nucleotides. Replicating molecules evolved and began to undergo natural selection.

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's
____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
