The geological time scale divides the history of Earth into blocks of time known as eras, epochs, periods, and eons. We are curr

ently living in the Holocene epoch, a period that began after the last major ice age, but some scientists believe we have entered a new epoch. The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that would begin when human activity first started to significantly affect Earth. Supporters of this proposed epoch argue that human activity has caused large changes to the geology and diversity of organisms of Earth, so this period should be documented in the geological time scale. What do you think? Should human activity should be documented on the geological scale? Why or why not? If the human population were not the size it was today, how would Earth be different? Consider all four spheres—geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—in your answer.

Yes, humans have done more damage to the earth than any natural catastrophe. Civilization have ended. The earth has the ability to renew itself time and time again by it's own natural 4 powers. Do we?

I think the period of human presence on the Earth should not be documented on the geological time scale. Although humans have caused an enormous change in the Earth, this has actually been done over an extremely short period of time. Modern humans appeared roughly 0.8-0.3 million years ago. Civilization appeared roughly 5,000 years ago. However, significant damage and alteration to the geology and the diversity of organisms has only happened in the last few centuries.

If human population were not the size that it is today, the differences would be massive. Agriculture and animal husbandry would be practiced in a much smaller scale. This would allow many ecosystems to remain intact. Moreover, the pollution and garbage that we create would be reduced. Finally, with a reduction in population, living standards tend to rise, as well as education. More educated people would probably mean more environmentally conscious individuals.

A pepperoni pizza is a heterogeneous mixture.

Explanation: A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture. ... A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers. Each of the layers is called a phase.

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of
Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Mg²⁺: 1 mole
  • Na₂CO₃: 1  mole
  • MgCO₃: 1 mole
  • Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
  • Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
  • MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
  • Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
  • MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
  • Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

When energy in the atom is released, what occurs?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

What happens when electrons in atoms absorb or release energy? When electrons absorb or release energy, their electrons can move to higher or lower energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.

love history [14]
Given:
2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO 
So,
<span>(25.0 g of Mg / 24.3051 g/mole) x (1/2) x (22.4 L/mole) = 11.5 L  of Oxygen will react with 25 grams of magnesium metal.</span>

Which of the following forms a new substance? melting, evaporating, freezing or burning
Slav-nsk [51]
It would be burning be cause when you freeze, evaporate, or melt anything it is just changing how fast the atoms are moving . Think of it like water, ice, and steam, they are all the same thing but in different forms because of melting, evaporating,and melting. Burning is breaking it down.
