The answers are

The age of the oldest stars

How fast distant galaxies are moving away from us

Patterns of background radiation.

Explanation:

The Astronomers calculate the age of the universe by looking for oldest stars, and by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and back to big bang.

The Astronomers used the techniques like the age of oldest stars, how fast the distant galaxies are moving away from us, patterns of background radiation and along with the Big Bang as reference point, they estimate that the universe may be approximately 12 billion years old.

Which of the following happens when a reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium in a closed system?

laiz [17]

Answer: B

Explanation:

At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, and thus the concentrations of the reactants and products must be constant.

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the _____ state.

bagirrra123 [75]

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the Liquid state.

Explanation:

There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.

Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.

Hello,

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.
