Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the rock layers is that Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age..

The relative age is used in placing sedimentary rocks in order of their occurrence.

To do this, we apply the sedimentary laws.

The ones applicable here are:

Principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence, the oldest layer is at the base and youngest on top.
Principle of cross cutting states that a fault and intrusion are younger than the rocks they cut through.
Principle of fossil and fauna succession states that fossils and fauna succeed on another in a determinable form.

We see that layers 2 and 9 have the same fossil and are the same lithological units.

How can you tell that a chemical change has occurred?

Alik [6]

A. The products of the change are different from the starting

substances.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Whenever there is a physical change it may just affect the phase change but the properties remains the same. Whenever there is an occurrence of a chemical change, it was indicated by some of these things such as,

The products are exactly different from the products.

Chemical properties of these reactants are entirely different from that of the products.

Chemical composition as well as the physical properties of the reactants and the products will change

A chemist takes 50-gram sample of sulfur powder that has a melting point of 115.2 °C. What is the melting point of a 100-gram sa

JulijaS [17]

I would say that B is the correct answer which means that the melting point would be intensive or that no matter how large or small the sample of the sulphur is, it will have a consistent melting temperature or of 115.2 degrees C.

What is the mass, in grams, of a sample of 1.20 × 1022 atoms of mercury (Hg)? Show your work or explain the steps that you used

o-na [289]

Atomic mass Hg = 200.59 u.m.a

200.59 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
( mass Hg ) ----------- 1.20 x10²² atoms

mass Hg = ( 1.20x10²² ) x 200.59 / 6.02x10²³

mass Hg = 2.407x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³

= 3.998 g of Hg

hope this helps!

How many moles of hydrogen atoms are in 1 mole of sulfuric acid?

Hunter-Best [27]

one mole of sulfuric acid will contain 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. The molar mass of sulfuric acid is 98.0795 g/mol. This means that every mole of sulfuric acid has a mass of 98.0795 g. Since you're dealing with one mole of sulfuric acid, it follows that you will also be dealing with two moles of hydrogen.
