Answer:

Is an animal or plant fossil that is preserved and represent an specific geological era.

Explanation:

The index fossils are very useful to identify some geological eras, for example, at the sea, the fossils of protista, like the ammonoids. In the soil, the presence of fossil animals like mammals, are particularly sign of the Cenozoic era.

Which 1-mole sample has the least entropy?
Alenkinab [10]
<span>The correct answer is option 1. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness in a system. Among the phases, solid has the most ordered structure. Also, at lower temperatures the molecules will have less kinetic energy therefore less motion. Thus, bromine in solid form at 266K has the least entropy.</span>

What is the binding energy of a mole of nuclei with a mass defect of 0.00084 kg/mol?
Alik [6]

Answer:

The binding energy of a mole of the nuclei is 252KJ

Explanation:

The binding energy is the amount of energy required to separate an atom into its nuclei.

From Einstein's relations,

       E = Δmc^{2}

where E is the energy, Δm is the mass defect and c is the speed.

The mole of nuclei moves with the speed of light, so that;

  c = 3.0 × 10^{8} m/s

Given that Δm = 0.00084Kg/mol, the binding energy is calculated as;

       E = 0.00084 × 3.0 × 10^{8}

         = 252000

        = 252KJ

The binding energy of a mole of the nuclei is 252KJ.

What is the mole ratio needed to determine the mass of phosphorus trifluoride produced from the reaction of 120 g of phosphorus
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

\frac{4molPF_3}{1molP_4}

Explanation:

Hello

In this case, given the reaction:

P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)

It means that since the coefficients preceding phosphorous and phosphorous trifluoride are 1 and 4, the correct mole ratio should be:

\frac{4molPF_3}{1molP_4}

Because given the mass of phosphorous it is convenient to convert it to moles and then cancel it out with the moles on bottom of the mole ratio.

Bes regards!

Using the balanced equation below, how many grams of cesium fluoride would be required to make 73.1 g of cesium xenon heptafluor
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

27.9 g

Explanation:

CsF + XeF₆ → CsXeF₇

First we <u>convert 73.1 g of cesium xenon heptafluoride (CsXeF₇) into moles</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • Molar mass of CsXeF₇ = 397.193 g/mol
  • 73.1 g CsXeF₇ ÷ 397.193 g/mol = 0.184 mol CsXeF₇

As <em>1 mol of cesium fluoride (CsF) produces 1 mol of CsXeF₇</em>, in order to produce 0.184 moles of CsXeF₇ we would need 0.184 moles of CsF.

Now we <u>convert 0.184 moles of CsF to moles</u>, using the <em>molar mass of CsF</em>:

  • Molar mass of CsF = 151.9 g/mol
  • 0.184 mol * 151.9 g/mol = 27.9 g

Compare the properties of the following: α particles, cathode rays, protons, neutrons, and electrons.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Properties of the following are:

Alpha particle - positively charged particle (+) that consists of two electrons and two neutrons.

Cathode rays - it is the stream of electrons (negatively charged) found in vacuum.

Protons - are particles that carry positive charge and is present inside the nucleus of an atom.

Electrons - are particles that carry negative charge and is present in the orbits of the atom.

Neutrons - electrically neutral particle (0 charge) present inside the nucleus of an atom. However, it has its own mass.
