Answer:

D) thriving forest

Explanation:

-A desert is a big area with sand that has no vegetation.

-An ocean is a large body of water.

-A shallow sea is a body of salt water that has little depth.

-A forest is an ecosystem that has a lot of vegetation.

According to the definitions and considering that the fossils found are comprised of ferns and trees, the answer is that the environment was a thriving forest.

Answer:

The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

Explanation:

Given that,

A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut.

During the experiment, the measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

Suppose, the mass of peanut is 0.4 g and find the

We need to calculate the heat generated per gram of sample in calories

Using formula of heat generated

$q=\dfrac{q_{penut\ calorimeter}}{m_{peanut}}$

Put the value into the formula

$q=\dfrac{0.35}{0.4}$

$q=0.87\ g$

Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

One mole of oxygen gas is at a pressure of 6.00 atm and a temperature of 27.0°C. (a) If the gas is heated at constant volume unt

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: a) 900 K

b) 1200 K

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = Pressure of the gas = 6.00 atm

V= Volume of the gas = ?

T= Temperature of the gas = 27°C = 300 K $0^00C=273K$

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas = 1

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{6.00}=4.10L$

a) To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=6.00atm\\T_1=300K\\P_2=3\times 6.00=18.0atm\\T_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{6.00}{300K}=\frac{18.0}{T_2}\\\\T_2=900K$

The final temperature is 900 K

b) The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 6.00 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = $2\times 6.00atm=12.0atm$

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 4.10 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $2\times 4.10 L=8.20L$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $300K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas =?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{6.00\times 4.10}{300}=\frac{12.0\times 8.20}{T_2}$

$T_2=1200K$

The final temperature is 1200 K
