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.

Calculate the maximum volume in ml of 0.15M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutralize.

vlada-n [284]

a. 34 mL; b. 110 mL

a. A tablet containing 150 Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Moles of Mg(OH)₂ = 150 mg Mg(OH)₂ × [1 mmol Mg(OH)₂/58.32 mg Mg(OH)₂

= 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂

Moles of HCl = 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol Mg(OH)₂]

= 5.144 mmol HCl

Volume of HCl = 5.144 mmol HCl × (1 mmol HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 34 mL HCl

b. A tablet containing 850 mg CaCO₃

CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Moles of CaCO₃ = 850 mg CaCO₃ × [1 mmol CaCO₃/100.09 mg CaCO₃

= 8.492 mmol CaCO₃

Moles of HCl = 8.492 mmol CaCO₃ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol CaCO₃]

= 16.98 mmol HCl

Volume of HCl = 16.98 mmol HCl × (1 mL HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 110 mL HCl

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

- Scientific question: does life exist on other planets?

- Non-scientific question: there are aliens that look like people?

Explanation:

A scientific question is a coherent question that can be used to develop a scientific hypothesis. Thus, a scientific question must be testable, verifiable, measurable and relevant to the topic of study. In the scientific method, the hypothesis is subsequently tested by experimental or observational procedures, where the results can be used to understand some particular aspect of the real world. On the other hand, a non-scientific question is a light conjecture which cannot be proved by using the scientific method.

You are given a 2.9237 g sample of a substance with the generic formula MCl2(H2O)6. After completely drying the sample (which me

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

M is cobalt (Co)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of MCl2(H2O)6 = 2.9237 grams

After completely drying the sample (which means removing the 6 moles of H2O per mole of MCl2), the sample weighs 1.5941 g.

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = 2.9237 - 1.5941 = 1.3296 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles water

Moles water = mass water / molar mass water

Moles water = 1.3296 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles water = 0.07378 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of the whole substance

For 1 mol MCl2(H2O)6 we have 6 moles H2O

Number of moles of the whole substance = 0.07378 / 6 = 0.01230 moles

Step 5: Calculate molar weight of the substance

Molar weight = mass / moles

Molar weight = 1.5941 grams / 0.01230 moles

Molar weight = 129.6 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate molar weight of M

Molecular weight of M = 129.6 - (2*35.45)

Molecular weight of M = 58.7 g/mol

M is cobalt (Co)
