Fossils can not be formed in igneous rock because before it cooled from the liquid magma state, any renants of fossils would be destroyed and melted... they form in sedimentary because thats where they can be buried and perserved the easiest, metamorphic would destroy them from the pressures and temperatures involved in there formations

Any fossils that would have been in the original rocks would have melted when magma formed.

In an experiment, potassium chlorate decomposed according to the following chemical equation.
Arada [10]

Answer:  

(240 × 3 × 31.998)/(122.5 × 2)   g

Step-by-step explanation:

We know we will need a balanced equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

M_r:          122.5                31.998

               2KClO₃ ⟶ 2KCl + 3O₂

Mass/g:     240  

Mass of O₂ = 240 g KClO₃ × (1 mol KClO₃/122.5 g KClO₃) × (3 mol O₂/2 mol KClO₃)  × (31.998 g O₂/1 mol O₂) = 94.0 g O₂

Mass of O₂= (240 × 3 × 31.998)/(2 × 122.5) = 94.0 g O₂

A metal stand specifies a maximum load of 450 lb. Will it support an aquarium that weighs 59.5 lb and is filled with 37.9 L of s
DedPeter [7]

First solve the mass of 37.9 L seawater

M = 37.9 L ( 1000 ml / 1L ) ( 1.03 g / ml)

M = 39037 g

Then convert it to lb

M = 39037 g ( 1 lb / 453.592 g)

M = 86.06 lb

<span>Total weight = 86.06 lb + 59.5 lb = 145.56 lb so it can support the aquarium</span>

What is advantage of using single fixed pulley although it doesnot multiply force?​
luda_lava [24]

A single fixed pulley is used to lift load by changing the direction of the lifting force. Even though a single fixed pulley has no mechanical gain in that, the effort applied is greater than the load, it is preferred in use since you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down.

Which of the following sign does not indicate that a chemical change has happened .
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

A.)

Explanation:

A change in state may seem like a chemical reaction, but it is actually a physical change. "A change in state" is basically saying that the appearance of whatever the item is, is taking a change physically. Whether this item was going through some examples of a physical change, which would be:

<em>melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), deposition (gas to solid), and sublimation (solid to gas).</em>

A change in color, odor, taste, chemical compound, and temperature all represent a chemical reaction, because these are all things that are happening within the the item that is being given the product of a chemical change.

Think of it this way: <em>internal changes within the product: chemical. External changes within the product: physical.</em>

I hope this helps.
