Early Earth was largely anoxic with very little oxygen present in the atmosphere. However, approximately 2 billion years ago, a

rise in atmospheric oxygen concentration was recorded in the geological record. This event, known as the great oxygenation event (GOE), was caused by small microorganisms (cyanobacteria) that likely carried out the process of ____________________ .

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria were the first prokaryotic organisms capable of oxygen-evolving complex. Photosynthesis needs an electron source, in this case water (H2O). By photo-oxidation of the water, oxygen (O2) is released (and hydrogen taken).

This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere where it got to similar concentrations as in these days.

✞Why is propane stored in household tanks but natural gas is not?♡♡♡​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

In order to keep propane a liquid at room temperature (70° F or 21° C), it has to be held in a tank at a pressure of about 850 kPa. ... Household metal tanks cannot withstand this pressure. In short, natural gas is not stored in household tanks because the symmetry of its molecule makes it hard to liquify.

What will happen if pressure is increased?
fgiga [73]

When there is an increase in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.
