Examine the layers of rock. How does layering provide evidence for determining geologic age?

2 answers:

5 0

Well I can’t see the rocks but, to determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones.

Hope this helped! <3

Answer:

the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get.

Explanation:

layering can provide evidence because the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get. So when the scientists go in to the rock they can say what animals lived in that time and what animal was the oldest.

If the [H+] = 0.01 M, what is the pH of the solution, and is the solution a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

2, strong acid

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

[H+] = 0.01 M

pH =?

pH of a solution can be obtained by using the following formula:

pH = –Log [H+]

pH = –Log 0.01

pH = 2

The pH of a solution ranging between 0 and 6 is declared to be an acid solution. The smaller the pH value, the stronger the acid.

Since the pH of the above solution is 2, it means the solution is a strong acid.

Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3D orbital

garri49 [273]

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel. (:

Can you determine the molecular formula of a substance from its percent composition

Natalka [10]

The percent composition gives you only the empirical formula.
To get the molecular formula, you must either know the molecular mass or do an experiment to find it.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.
