During the nineteenth century, biologists knew that South America and Africa contained similar fossils. These fossils led them t

o believe that a temporary land bridge between South America and Africa allowed
ancient species to move between both continents. In the twentieth century, evidence showed that South America and Africa were once part of the same larger continent and that there were no land bridges
between them. How should biologists respond to the new geological finding?

A) Biologists should reject the geological finding, because it is new.
B) Biologists should ask physicists what to do, because physics is a more exact science.
C) Biologists should reject the belief in ancient species, because there were no land bridges.
D) Biologists should update the history of life, because it should include the new geological finding.

5. 1.00 mol HNO3 is treated with 4.47 g of magnesium. Calculate the number of moles of
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The balanced equation is:

2 HNO3 + Mg ---> Mg(NO3)2 + H2

From the equation, we can see that we need twice the moles of HNO3 than the moles of Mg

Moles of Mg:

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Moles = Given mass / Molar Mass

Moles of Mg = 4.47 / 24 = 0.18 moles (approx)

Hence, 2(moles of Mg) = 0.36 moles of HNO3 will be consumed

Number of moles of HNO3 after the reaction is finished is the number of unreacted moles of HNO3

Unreacted moles of HNO3 = Total Moles - Moles consumed

Unreacted moles of HNO3 = 0.64 moles (approx)

Since we approximated the value of moles of Mg, the value of remaining moles of HNO3 will also be approximate

From the given options, we can see that 0.632 moles is the closest value to our answer

Therefore, 0.632 moles will remain after the reaction

Air trapped in a cylinder fitted with a piston occupies 145 mL at 1.08 atm
pav-90 [236]

Answer: 0.0014 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Original pressure of air (P1) = 1.08 atm

Original volume of air (T1) = 145mL

[Convert 145mL to liters

If 1000mL = 1l

145mL = 145/1000 = 0.145L]

New volume of air (V2) = 111L

New pressure of air (P2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is held constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

1.08 atm x 0.145L = P2 x 111L

0.1566 atm•L = 111L•P2

Divide both sides by 111L

0.1566 atm•L/111L = 111L•P2/111L

0.0014 atm = P2

Thus, the new pressure of air when the volume is decreased to 111 L is 0.0014 atm
