Answer:

No, scientists did not accept Wegener's theory

Explanation:

In a book titled; "The Origin of Continents and Oceans", published in 1915, Wegener introduced his ideas about the theory of continental drift.

According to his idea, "all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions"(live science).

Though some of his ideas were correct, some of them were also quite wrong. Scientists rejected his idea because he did not detail any mechanism by which the continental drift occurs.

The carbon cycle involves an exchange of carbon between ___
Solnce55 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D) The geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

During the carbon cycle, various processes move carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere such as volcanic eruptions release carbon dioxide from molten rock beneath the earth's surface to the atmosphere. Carbon can leave the soil through soil respiration which releases CO2, or by erosion  which can carry it into rivers or the ocean, where it then enters the hydrosphere. Carbon is found in the hydrosphere dissolved in ocean water and lakes and hence the cycle continues.

In the combustion of ethane, shown above, how many moles of carbon dioxide can be produced from 1.00 mole of ethane? A. 0.500 mo
Daniel [21]
The balanced chemical equation for the <span>combustion of ethane is 
2C</span>₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)

The stoichiometric ratio between C₂H₆(g) and CO₂(g)  is 1 : 2

Hence,
    moles of 
CO₂(g) produced = moles of reacted C₂H₆(g) x 2
                                                 
= 1.00 mol x 2
                                                  = 2.00 mol

Hence, the correct answer is "C".
