What is Darwin's name for species that do not appear to have changed for millions of years?

a.

Dinosaurs

b.

Living fossils

c.

Old souls

d.

Ancient moderns

Answer: b. Living fossil

Explanation:

In 1859 Charles Darwin proposed the term living fossil, that means a species or group of species that had not changed in terms of evolutionary context thus can be useful in tracing the extinct or previously existing forms of life. The examples of the living fossils are horseshoe crabs, ginkgo (Conifers) and tuatara. These group of animals were existed unchanged in the Ordovician, Permian, and Triassic periods respectively with few surviving species.

What are the mole fraction and the mass percent of a solution made by dissolving 0.21 g KBr in 0.355 L water? (d = 1.00 g/mL.) m

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Mol fraction H2O = 0.99991

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00009

mass % KBr = 0.059 %

mass % H2O = 99.941 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KBr = 0.21 grams

Molar mass KBr = 119 g/mol

Volume of water = 355 mL

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Molar mass water = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass water

Mass water = 355 mL * 1g /mL

Mass water = 355 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles water

Moles water = mass water / molar mass water

Moles water = 355 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles water = 19.7 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles KBr

Moles KBr = 0.21 grams / 119 g/mol

Moles KBr = 0.00176 moles

Step 5: Calculate total moles

Total moles = 19.7 moles + 0.00176 moles

Total moles = 19.70176 moles

Step 6: Calculate mol fraction

Mol fraction H2O = 19.7 moles / 19.70176 moles

Mol fraction H2O = 0.99991

Step 7: Calculate mol fraction KBr

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00176 / 19.70176

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00009

Step 6: Calculate mass %

mass % KBR = (0.21 grams / (0.21 + 355) grams) *100%

mass % KBr = 0.059 %

mass % H2O = (355 grams / 355.21 grams) *100%

mass % H2O = 99.941 %

Answer:

Law of conservation of mass

Ernest Rutherford

Explanation:

The basic law of behavior of matter that states that "mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or physical change".

This is the law of conservation of mass. It is very essential in understanding most chemical reaction. Also, in quantitative analysis, this law is pivotal.

Ernest Rutherford was the scientist that stated that the nucleus is made up of positive charge. It was not until James Chadwick in 1932 discovered the neutron that we had an understanding of this nuclear component.

Rutherford surmised from his experiment that because most the alpha particles passed through the thin Gold foil and just a tiny fraction was deflected back, the atom is made is made up of small nucleus that is positively charged.
