How has the study of fossil rocks evolved over time? (personal answer)

Chemistry

Answer:

When an organism dies, it is usually destroyed by other forms of life and by weathering processes. On rare occasions some body parts—particularly hard ones such as shells, teeth, or bones—are preserved by being buried in mud or protected in some other way from predators and weather. Eventually, they may become petrified and preserved indefinitely with the rocks in which they are embedded. Methods such as radiometric dating—measuring the amounts of natural radioactive atoms that remain in certain minerals to determine the elapsed time since they were constituted—make it possible to estimate the time period when the rocks, and the fossils associated with them.

Hydrogen sulfide is composed of two elements: hydrogen and sulfur. in an experiment, 6.500 g of hydrogen sulfide is fully decomp
LiRa [457]
Hydrogen sulfide = hidrogen + sulfur

       6.500 g                      

a)                             0.384 g   +    x

=> 6.500 = 0.384 + x => x = 6.500 - 0.384 = 6.116 g

Answer: 6.116 g of sulfur must be obtained

b) this experiment demonstrate the conservation of mass.

c) Dalton's atomic model states that the atoms cannot be created, split or be destroyed, and so in a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange but the number of each type of atoms remain constant, so the mass of each type of atoms and the total mass remain constant.

Why are halogens reactive?
erica [24]

<u>Halogens are reactive because:</u>

They have high electronegativity and also high nuclear charge. So, they are reactive and also gain an electron when they react with other elements.

Since they are very reactive, halogens are very harmful to living organisms. Some of the halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine. These are mostly non metals. Fluorine is one of the most reactive gas and also very toxic gas. When Fluorine reacts with glass along with small amounts of water, it forms silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). Hence fluorine should be handled with substances like the inert organofluorine compound Teflon.
