The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
All oxayacids have cations so no need to name the cation (H+) If name of polyatomic anion ends in -ate change to -ic for acid and if it ends with -ite change to -ous for acid
example:
ion nitrate is called nitric acid
ion nitrate is called nitrous acid
Answer:
Mass = 36 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of water formed = ?
Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g
Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Number of moles of hydrogen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol
Number of moles = 2.02 mol
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.0 mol
Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.
O₂ : H₂O
1 : 2
H₂ : H₂O
2 : 2
2.02 : 2.02
Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.
Mass of water:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol
Mass = 36 g
Causes carbon to move from one reservoir to another
