The nitrogen fixation step is very necessary since it is allows nitrogen to be used by living organism. In this step nitrogen in the atmosphere is being converted into ammonia or other nitrogen compound that can be used by organisms.

What do angiosperms reproduce with?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Angiosperms are vascular plants. ... Unlike gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads, angiosperm's seeds are found in a flower. Angiosperm eggs are fertilized and develop into a seed in an ovary that is usually in a flower. The flowers of angiosperms have male or female reproductive organs.

Measurements show that unknown compound has the following composition: element mass 62.1 % carbon, 10.5 % hydrogen and 27.6 % ox
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

C3H6O

Explanation:

The percentage composition of the elements in the compound are given as follows:

62.1 % carbon = 62.1g of C

10.5 % hydrogen = 10.5g of H

27.6 % oxygen = 27.6g of O

Next, we convert each mass to mole by dividing by their molar/atomic mass

C = 62.1/12 = 5.175mol

H = 10.5/1 = 10.5mol

O = 27.6/16 = 1.725mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest mole value (1.725)

C = 5.175mol ÷ 1.725 = 3

H = 10.5mol ÷ 1.725 = 6.086

O = 1.725mol ÷ 1.725 = 1

The empirical ratio approximately of C:H:O is 3:6:1, hence, the empirical formula is C3H6O

Let's say we have 2 Zinc atoms and 2 Sulfur atoms on one side of the equation. According to the Law of Conversation and Mass, ho
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system the mass present is neither destroyed nor created by chemical changes or physical changes.

This tells us that the mass of reactants must be equal to the product mass.

If 1 atom of Zn react with one atoms of sulfur, the product will be 1 molecule of zinc sulfide according to the equation below

Zn(s) + S(s) ⇒ ZnS(s)

therefore two atoms each f zinc and sulfur will product two molecules of Zn sulfide

A tank contains a mixture of helium, neon, and argon gases. If the total pressure in the tank is 490. mmHg and the partial press
OleMash [197]

Answer: The partial pressure of neon is 173 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_A+p_B+p_C

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = 490 mm Hg

p_{He} = partial pressure of Helium = 215 mmHg

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon = 102 mm Hg

p_{Ne} = partial pressure of neon= ?

p_{total}=p_{He}+p_{Ar}+p_{Ne}

490=215+102+p_{Ne}

p_{Ne}=173mmHg

Thus partial pressure of neon is 173 mmHg
