In 1840, California was part of Mexico and gold wasn't discovered (in large quantities) until 1848. CA had a very small population in 1840 with even fewer foreigners including Americans, English/Irish, Russians, etc.
There wasn't much migration to CA in 1840, but those that did migrate, went there basically to get away from "civilization" and make a new start on life. Mexican authorities did not have much control so CA was pretty much self-governing.
There you go Hope that helped.
The hard parts of an organism, such as shells and bones.
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the density is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume as shown below:

We can compute the density of water for the given 43 g that occupy the volume of 43 mL:

Regards.
Answer:
The new volume will be 367mL
Explanation:
Using PV = nRT
V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L
n1 = 0.552moles
At constant temperature and pressure, the value is
P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1
= 0.552 / 0.000259
= 2131.274
V2 = ?
n2 = 0.552 + 0.232
n2 = 0.784mole
Using ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2
Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;
V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274
V2 = 0.000367L
V2 = 367mL
