Answer:

states that rock layers with the same unique groupings of fossils are of the same geologic age.

Explanation:

The principle of fossil correlation states that the presence of similar fossils of dead organisms in rock layers indicates that the organisms under investigation must have existed around the same geologic time. This principle can be used in dating the periods when the organism being studied lived.

The geological age system follows a chronological format in tracking the age of an item under study by grouping the time periods that organisms lived into strata.

Write the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous Pb ( ClO 3 ) 2 Pb(ClO3)2 with aqueous NaI . NaI. Include phases. chemica

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The mass of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) that will form is 119.89 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaI solution = 0.130 M

Volume of solution = 0.400 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.130M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.400L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.130mol/L\times 0.400L)=0.52mol$

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of lead chlorate and sodium iodide follows:

$Pb(ClO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaClO_3(aq.)$

The precipitate (insoluble salt) formed is lead (II) iodide

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI produces 1 mole of lead (II) iodide

So, 0.52 moles of NaI will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.52=0.26mol$ of lead (II) iodide

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of lead (II) iodide = 0.26 moles

Molar mass of lead (II) iodide = 461.1 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.26mol=\frac{\text{Mass of lead (II) iodide}}{461.1g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of lead (II) iodide}=(0.26mol\times 461.1g/mol)=119.89g$

Hence, the mass of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) that will form is 119.89 grams

How many liters of solvent are needed to make a 6.5M solution with 34 mol of solute?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

5.231 L.

Explanation:

Molarity is the no. of moles of solute per 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (no. of moles of KCl)/(Volume of the solution (L))

M = 6.5 M.

no. of moles of solute = 34.0 mol,

Volume of the solution = ??? L.

∴ (6.5 M) = (34.0 mol)/(Volume of the solution (L))

∴ (Volume of the solution (L) = (34.0 mol)/(6.5 M) = 5.231 L.

PLEASE HELP!! GIVING BRAINLIEST

RSB [31]

Answer:

The answer is "0.00172172603".

Explanation:

Given:

$Mass (M) = 1.60 \times 10^{-3} \ g\\\\Density (D) = 9.293 \times 10^{-1} \ \frac{g}{cm^3}\\\\Volume (V) = ?$

Formula:

$\to \bold{V = \frac{M}{D}}$

$= \frac{1.60 \times 10^{-3}}{9.293 \times 10^{-1}} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 \times 10^{1}}{9.293 \times 10^{3}} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 \times 10}{9.293 \times 1000} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{9.293 \times 100} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{929.3 } \\\\= 0.00172172603$

What does the position of an element in the periodic table tell you?

loris [4]

They are in order according to their atomic number, so the position should tell you the atomic number.
