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.

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the pressure of
lianna [129]

Answer:

DECREASE BY A FACTOR OF FOUR

Explanation:

Using pressure equation:

P 1 / T1 = P2 /T2     (at constant volume)

P1 = P

T1 =T

P2 = ?

T2 = 4 T

So therefore;

P2 = P1T1/ T2

P2 = P T/ 4 T

P2 = 1/4 P

The pressure is decreased by a factor of four, the new pressure is a quarter of the formal pressure of the gas.

How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced when 255 grams of octane (C3H18) combust?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

787.3 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The combustion of octane is this one:

2C₈H₁₈  +  25O₂  →   16CO₂  +  18H₂O

2 moles of octane react to 25 moles of oxygen in order to produce 16 moles of CO₂ and 18 moles of water.

The products in combustion reactions are always CO₂ and H₂O. The oxygen is always a reactant.

We convert mass to moles: 255 g . 1mol /114g = 2.24 moles

2 moles of C₈H₁₈ can produce 16 moles of CO₂

Then, 2.24 moles may produce (2.24 . 16)/2 = 17.9 moles of CO₂

We convert moles to mass:

17.9 mol . 44g/mol = 787.3 g of CO₂
