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.

4.4 grams of CO2 represents how many moles?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

1) Moles of CO 2 = Given mass / Molecular mass of CO 2 = 4.4 / 44 = 0.1 mole. 2) Molecules of CO2 in 0.1 moles of CO2 = 0.1 x 6.023 x 10 23 = 6.023 x 10 22 molecules 3) 44 gram (molecular wt of CO 2) contains 2 moles atom of oxygen therefore 4.4 gram of CO2 will contain = 2 /44 *4.4 = 0.2 moles atom of Oxygen.
