The principle of original horizontality states that all rock layers were initially deposited horizontally. The answer must be They were deposited horizontally and then shifted by a geologic event because they other choices all indicate that the the rocks were initially deposited in a way that was not horizontal.

Hope this helps!!

Enter an equation for the formation of NO2(g) from its elements in their standard states. Express your answer as a chemical equa

kkurt [141]

The standard state of the elements Nitrogen and Oxygen are N2 and O2, knowing that they are diatomic elements. With that piece of information, the unbalanced equation for the formulation of NO2(g) should be as follows -

N2 + O2 ---> NO2

And if you include their states -

N2 ( g ) + O2 ( g ) ---> NO2 ( g )

To balance this chemical equation consider the number of reactants and products on other side of the equation. If you were to include a coefficient of one - half with respect to N2 on the reactant side, it would balance the reactants and products -
