The answer is B. the occurrence of huge events in Earth's natural history

The geologic time scale is a system of chronological dating that relates geological strata to time. It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that have occurred during Earth's history.

Consider the reaction: 2HI(g) ⇄ H2(g) + I2(g). It is found that, when equilibrium is reached at a certain temperature, HI is 35.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Kc = 0.075

Explanation:

The dissociation (α) is the initial quantity that ionized divided by the total dissolved. So, let's calling x the ionized quantity, and M the initial one:

α = x/M

x = M*α

x = 0.354M

For the stoichiometry of the reaction (2:1:1), the concentration of H₂ and I₂ must be half of the acid. So the equilibrium table must be:

2HI(g) ⇄   H₂(g) +    I₂(g)

M               0             0               <em> Initial</em>

-0.354M  +0.177M  +0.177M       <em>Reacts</em>

0.646M     0.177M   0.177M        <em>Equilibrium</em>

The equilibrium constant Kc is the multiplication of the products' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients) divided by the multiplication of the reactants' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients):

Kc = \frac{[H2]*[I2]}{[HI]^2}

Kc = \frac{0.177M*0.177M}{(0.646M)^2}

Kc = \frac{0.03133M^2}{0.41732M^2}

Kc = 0.075

When parallel light rays exit a concave lens,the light ray is?
ad-work [718]
When parallel rays exit a concave lens, the light rays are divergent.
The rays diverge or bend away from the axis it has been traveling upon entering the lens when it reaches the other side of the lens. These rays appear to have come from the same focal point before entering the concave lens. When these parallel rays are extended, it will be traced back to a single point of origin.

Which type of weathering helped to form barrier islands
Grace [21]

Barrier islands typically have sand in the beach zone and dune field, and mud in the back-barrier. Overwash deposits sand in the back-barrier.

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. ... When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed.
