Answer:

Layer A is the youngest

It is at the top, it has all of the dinosaur bones which got buried after earth got hit with an asteroid and they went extinct. Layer D started it and all of these years dirt, soil, and fossils have been gathering making each layer before older and older.

Answer:

The youngest fossils would be the "upmost" ones

Explanation:

Logically speaking, in order for fossils to be newer they have to be lied down first, think of it as folding laundry. The clothes that you folded first would be on the bottom, and the newer clothes you would lay ontop of the previous clothing.

Suppose the plates beneath Earth's surface stopped moving.What do you think would happen?Explain your answer.

Amanda [17]

There would be no more earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as the earth's plate are the cause of both these occurrences.(which can be seen as a positive)
However, the plates allow the earth to cool when they move because they cause heat loss.If the plates were to stop moving the earth would have to loose heat another way and since we cant tell how this would happen, it could be very dangerous.

Prons and cons during the apartheid era

Sidana [21]

Apartheid was a legal racial separation system that ruled the Republic of South Africa from 1948 to 1993. Apartheid's mechanisms were in place before its creation, and South Africa is still dealing with these issues. Apartheid divided various races into different regions, and discrimination against people of color was not only acceptable, but also legal, with white people having full priority on housing, jobs, education, and political power. Even though South Africa was constantly chastised for the system, it wasn't until 1991 that the legal system of apartheid began to crumble, and it was finally brought down in 1993.

What is Apartheid?

Apartheid has been legally abolished, but whites and blacks continue to coexist in separate communities. There are still "black" and "white" neighborhoods, as well as "black" and "white" churches and restaurants. When the international media writes about Southern Africa, they almost always mention the country's "fading rainbow" and experiment in multi-ethnic democracy .

If a 95.27 mL sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is titrated to the equivalence point with 79.06 mL of 0.113 M KOH, what is the pH

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

8.73

Explanation:

The concentration of acetic acid can be determined as follows:

$M_1V_1 = M_2V_2\\(KOH) = (CH_3COOH)$

$M_{KOH}=0.113 M\\V_{KOH}=79.06 mL$

$V_{CH_3COOH}=95.27 \\\\M_{CH_3COOH)=?????$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{M_{KOH}*V_{KOH}}{V_{CH_3COOH}}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{0.113*79.06}{95.27}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = 0.094 M$

Moles of $CH_3COOH$ = $95.27* 10^{-3}* 0.094$

=0.0090 moles

Moles of $KOH = 79.06*10^{-3}*0.113$

= 0.0090 moles

The equation for the reaction can be expressed as :

$CH_3COOH$ $+$ $KOH$ -----> $CH_3COO^{-}K^+$ $+$ $H_2O$

Concentration of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion = $\frac{0.0090}{Total volume (L)}$

= $\frac{0.0090}{(95.27+79.06)} *1000$

= 0.052 M

Hydrolysis of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion:

$CH_3COO^{-$ $+$ $H_2O$ -----> $CH_3COOH$ $+$ $OH^-$

$K = \frac{K_w}{K_a} = \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

⇒ $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.82*10^{-5}}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

= $0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

As K is so less, then x appears to be a very infinitesimal small number

0.052-x ≅ x

$0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x^2}{0.052}$

$x^2 = 0.5494*10^{-9}*0.052$

$x^2 = 0.286*10^{-10$

$x = \sqrt{0.286*10^{-10$

$x =0.535*10^{-5}M$

$[OH] = x =0.535*10^{-5}$

$pOH = -log[OH^-]$

$pOH = -log[0.535*10^{-5}]$

$pOH = 5.27$

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 5.27

pH = 8.73

Hence, the pH of the titration mixture = 8.73

How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?

amid [387]

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.
