Answer:

CH₄ is the excess reagent and SO₄²⁻ is the limiting reagent.

0.040 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced reaction for the methane anaerobic oxidation

CH₄ + SO₄²⁻ ⇒ S²⁻ + CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Establish the theoretical mass ratio between the reactants

According to the balanced equation, the theoretical mass ratio of CH₄ to SO₄²⁻ is 16.04:96.06 = 0.1670:1

Step 3: Establish the experimental mass ratio between the reactants

50 mg (0.050 g) of CH₄ react with 60 mg (0.060 g) of SO₄²⁻. The experimental mass ratio of CH₄ to SO₄²⁻ is 0.050:0.060 = 0.83:1

Comparing both mass ratios, we can deduce that CH₄ is the excess reagent and SO₄²⁻ is the limiting reagent.

Step 4: Calculate the mass excess of CH₄

The mass of CH₄ that reacts with 0.060 g of SO₄²⁻ is:

0.060 g SO₄²⁻ 16.04 g CH₄/96.06 g SO₄²⁻ = 0.010 g CH₄

The mass excess of CH₄ is:

0.050 g - 0.010 g = 0.040 g

ANSWER WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
hoa [83]

Answer:

B each new layer has a new bit of the story to tell and you can see sequential time with each strata

A. 1. Embryological development is very similar for many animals so it would differ a lot from the DNA.

2. embryological evidence is a poor substitute for DNA evidence because of it's almost universal progression. It would be more difficult to see difference in embryos vs via DNA

D. Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. Like the arthralgus of a whale that looks very similar to a terrestrial mammals tells us that the whale evolved from land mammals

C. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.
