This triangular body of water is called a delta. It is shaped like the Greek letter delta and was coined by Herodotus, the father of history who lived from 484 to 425 BC by seeing the deltoid shape at the mouth of the Nile.

Deltas occur throughout the world except at the poles. They all have three things in common, namely:

1. The presence of a large catchment basin. The top 30 river deltas all have catchment basins.

2. They all are at the mouth of large river systems that carry large quantities of clastic sediments (soils or portions of rocks that have been moved by water from where they formed)

3. They are not found near geologically active coastlines. They take a long time to develop so they are very rarely situated on tectonically active coast.

Which isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils?
RideAnS [48]

Scientists use carbon-14 to date ancient fossils.

Plants and animals absorb carbon-14 produced by cosmic rays. The ratio of C-14 to C-12 is constant when they are alive.

When they die, the C-14 decays to C-12, and the ratio changes.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. Thus, the object loses half its C-14 every 5730 years.

Scientists can use the C-14 to C-12 ratio to date fossils up to 70 000 years old.

Which hydrocarbon is an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
EastWind [94]

The correct answer is option C.

1-hexene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

2-methylheptane , 3-ethylpentane and cyclopentane have the suffix -ane, which means they are all alkanes . Alkanes do not have any unsaturation or double bonds.

1-hexene, has the suffix -ene, which means that it is an alkene.   Alkanes do have unsaturation or double bonds. As the name indicates, 1-hexene has one double bond.

CH₂=CHCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

The molar heat capacity for carbon monoxide at constant volume is cv,m = 20.17 j/(k·mol). a 18.00-l fixed-volume flask contains
Andrew [12]

The differential change in entropy of a system is given as: <span>

<span>dS = (∂S/∂T)_V dT </span>

We also know that </span>

<span>(∂S/∂T)_V = n*Cv/T, </span>

Where Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and n is the number of moles. Combining the 2 equations:<span>

dS = n*Cv/T dT 

Since Cv is constant as stated in the problem, therefore we integrate the differential equation. Leading us to: 

ΔS = n*Cv*ln(Tfinal/Tinitial) 

<span>We are given that:  V = 18L volume at P=2 kPa and T=298.15K. </span></span>

Using the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of gas: <span>

n = p*V/R*T = (2kPa)*(18L)/((298.15K)*(8.314 L*kPa/(mol*K))) 

n = 1.45*10^-2 mol 

Going back to the entropy change: 

ΔS = (1.45*10^-2 mol)*(20.17 J/(K*mol))*ln(1073.15/298.15) 
<span>
<span>ΔS = 0.375 J/K</span></span></span>
