Would you expect to find older or newer fossils in rock layers closer to the surface? Why?

Answer:

Newer

Explanation:

older fossils and rocks are found in lower strata than younger fossils and rock layers because the top layer fossils have not been there as long as the bottom layer fossils to be found deeper in the ground

The bonds in BaO are best described as

Vika [28.1K]

In order to determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent, you need to know whether or not it is completely composed of nonmetal atoms or both metal and nonmetal ions.

Barium is a metal and Oxygen is a nonmetal, therefore there is no possible way they could bond unless they were attracted to opposite charges. Specifically, only if Barium becomes a cation and Oxygen becomes an anion then could they bond.

Now cation and anion both have the word "ion" in them, so therefore it must be an ionic bond.

Now we need to know the definition of a bond. A bond is formed when two elements are joined together by sharing their valence electrons.

Therefore, your answer should be:

Ionic, because valence electrons are shared.

Calculate the molality, molarity, and mole fraction of FeCl3 in a 29.5 mass % aqueous solution (d = 1.283 g/mL).

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

molality FeCl3= 2.579 molal

molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 M

mol fraction FeCl3 = 0.0444

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass % = 29.5 %

Density = 1.283 g/mL

Molar mass FeCl3 = 162.2 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass solution

Suppose we have 1L = 1000 mL solution

Mass solution = 1.283 g/mL * 1000 mL = 1283 grams

Step 3: Calculate mass FeCl3

Mass FeCl3 = 0.295 * 1283 grams

Mass FeCl3 = 378.485 grams

Step 4: Calculate mass of water

Mass water = 1283 - 378.485 = 904.515 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = mass FeCl3 / molar mass FeCl3

Moles FeCl3 = 378.485 grams / 162.2 g/mol

Moles FeCl3 = 2.333 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 904.515 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 50.195 moles

Step 7: Mol fraction FeCl3

Mol fraction FeCl3 = 2.333 / (50.195+2.333)

Mol fraction FeCl3 = 0.0444

Step 8: Calculate molality

Molality = moles FeCl3 / mass H2O

Molality = 2.333 moles / 0.904515 kg

Molality = 2.579 molal

Step 9: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 moles / 1 L

Molarity FeCl3 = 2.333 M

You have a mixture that contains 0.380 moles of Ne(g), 0.250 moles of He(g), and 0.500 moles CH4(g) at 400 K and 6.25 atm. What

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1.38 atm

Explanation:

Partial pressure of a gas = total pressure × mole fraction of that gas.

Mole fraction of a gas is moles of a gas ÷ total moles of all gases.

1. Propane gas (C3H8) burns completely in the presence of oxygen gas (O2) to yield carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water vapor (H2O

vovikov84 [41]

1) Balanced equation

C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

2) 0.700 L C3H8

Given the pressure and temperature do not change, the molar ratio is equivalent to volume ratio

1molC3H8 / 5 mol O2 => 1 L C3H8 / 5 L O2

0.700 L C3H8 / x L O2 = 1 L C3H8 / 5 L O2 => x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 5 L O2 / 1 L C3H8

x = 3.500 L O2

3) CO2 produced

1 L C3H8 / 3 L CO2 = 0.700 L C3H8 / x L CO2 =>

x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 3 L CO2 / 1 L C3H8 = 2.100 L CO2

4) Water vapor produced

1) 1 L C3H8 / 4 L H2O = 0.700 LC3H8 / x L H2O =>

x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 4 L H20 / 1 L C3H8 = 2.800 L H2O
