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.

Which of these expressions are correct variations of the Combined Gas Law?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The combined gas law is also known as the general gas law.

From the ideal gas law we assume that n = 1;

So;

              PV  = nRT

 and then;

                  \frac{P_{1}V_{1}  }{T_{1} }  = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}  }{T_{2} }

   If we cross multiply;

                P₁V₁T₂   = P₂V₂T₁

  So;

         T₁ = T_{2} \frac{P_{1}V_{1}  }{P_{2} V_{2} }

Also;

         V₂  = V_{1} \frac{P_{1} T_{2} }{P_{2} T_{1} }

So from the choices both are correct

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 170 mol of hydrogen gas and 80 mol of oxygen gas. Express your
Sav [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen gas = 170 moles

Moles of oxygen gas = 80 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 80=160mol of hydrogen gas

As, given amount of hydrogen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 80=160moles of water

Hence, the amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles
