Describe how species on the Galapagos islands have changed over time

Chemistry
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
6 0
Five to ten million years ago, the tops of underwater Galapagos volcanoes appeared above water for the first time about 600 km from mainland Ecuador in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Those volcanic peaks were completely devoid of plant and animal life. All plants and animals that are now native to the islands must have arrived to the islands originally through some form of long-distance dispersal.There are two main ways for species to make their way to remote islands. The first method is by air in the form of flying or being blown by wind, and the second method is by sea while swimming or floating, sometimes with the aid of rafts of tangled vegetation.

How does the reaction, A + BC ⇌ AB + C, differ from the reaction, N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + energy, by which ammonia is synthesized?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ is a thermochemical reaction whereas A+BC⇄AB is not.

A+BC⇄AB is a reaction of pure a element with a compound while N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ is a reaction between two pure elements.

Explanation:

Let A+BC⇄AB be equation i and N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ be equation ii.

The two reactions differ in that ii is a thermo-chemical reaction whereas i is not. This is because energy is included in reaction ii but not included in reaction i.

Also i is a reaction of pure a element with a compound while ii is a reaction between two pure elements. The compound is BC while the pure element is A.

How would you quickly determine whether a cleaning
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Explanation:

If you add dilute HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) to the solution, and you see fizzing, then it is the carbonate. I would recommend doing this under a fume hood, as HCl has a wicked smell, and can make a few people sick to their stomach (however, you probably won't be using 12M concentrated HCl)

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2
OLga [1]

Answer:

The empirical formula is, C4H4S

Explanation:

Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles

Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g

Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles

Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g

Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.

C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

C4H4S
