This represents three steps of the rock cycle. The sediments are layered and compressed in sedimentary rock. The sedimentary roc

k is heated and compressed to form metamorphic rock. One thing remains the same from start to finish: the total amount of minerals present.
This process represents an important scientific law. What is it?
A) law of motion
B) law of thermodynamics
C) law of conservation of mass
D) law of conservation of energy

The correct answer should be the law of thermodynamics, because the sedimentary rock, like in the question, is being heated and compressed to form metamorphic. And this has to do with Thermodynamics.

ANSWER: C) Law of Conservation of Mass

EXPLANATION: In the given cycle, it is seen that th sediments are layered and gets compressed into sedimentary rocks which eventually gets heated and compressed to form metamorphic rocks. But, the total amount of minerals present in the sediments remains the same throughout any stage of the cycle.

This proves the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can not be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another. So, in this case, only phase transition occurred but the component which is mineral inside the sediments remains constant.

Therefore, the answer is law of conservation of mass.

What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?
castortr0y [4]
The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.

Which are components of cell theory? Check all that apply.
STatiana [176]

Answer:

All living things are made up of cells.

cells are the basic unit of structure and function of ll living things.

All cells are come from other cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is historic scientific theory and is universally accepted. This theory was given by Robert Hook in 1665. According to this theory all living things are made up cells.

Cell:

Cell is the smallest unit of life and it is building block of life.

This theory consist of following points:

All living things are made up of cells.

Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of ll living things.

All cells are come from other cells. Which means that cells are originated from pre-existing cells.

The other given options:

Cells comes from nonliving matter.

Cells make up most organisms bu not all.

These are two are not the postulate of cell theory because all living organisms are made of cells.

A solution of 2.9 m weak acid is 0.52 ionized. what is the ka value of this acid
AveGali [126]
We can get the Ka value from this formula:

Ka = [H+] [A-} / [HA] 

So we need to know [H+] & [A-] & [Ha] to get the Ka value

[H+] = 2.9 * 0.52/100 =0.01508 M

and when [H+] = [A-]
∴[A-] = 0.01508 M

∴ [HA] = 2.9 - 0.01508 = 2.88 M
So by substitution:

Ka = [0.01508][0.01508] / 2.88
     = 7.9 x 10^-5
