2. How is the layer of iridium used to tell the relative age of different rock strata and fossils?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer and Explanation:deposition has been occurring on earth for a very long time. as time goes by, more deposits form layers on the earth, including the remains of animals and plants that would later become fossils, burying the previous deposits in another layer of newer deposits. therefore it follows that layers which are found deeper are older than those found in layers near the surface....

hope it helps u..

In the science fiction movie, The Abyss, a diver is able to breathe while his head is immersed in a specially prepared liquid pu

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.

Given that you started with 28.5 g of K3PO4, how many grams of KNO3 can be<br> produced?

Irina18 [472]

Mass of KNO₃ : = 40.643 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

28.5 g of K₃PO₄

Required

Mass of KNO₃

Solution

Reaction(Balanced equation) :

2K₃PO₄ + 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ = Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 KNO₃

mol K₃PO₄(MW=212,27 g/mol) :

= mass : MW

= 28.5 : 212,27 g/mol

= 0.134

Mol ratio of K₃PO₄ : KNO₃ = 2 : 6, so mol KNO₃ :

= 6/2 x mol K₃PO₄

= 6/2 x 0.134

= 0.402

Mass of KNO₃ :

= mol x MW KNO₃

= 0.402 x 101,1032 g/mol

= 40.643 g

1. Analysis of an unknown substance formerly used in rocket fuel reveals a composition of 93.28% nitrogen and 6.72% hydrogen by

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The formula of the compound is:

N2H2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%

Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:

N = 93.28%

H = 6.72%

Divide by their molar mass

N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663

H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7

Divide by the smallest

N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1

H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.

Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:

The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.

[NH]n = 30.04

[14 + 1]n = 30.04

15n = 30.04

Divide both side by 15

n = 30.04/15

n = 2

Therefore, the formula of the compound is:

[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2

The degree of unsaturation, or index of hydrogen deficiency, is the number of pi bonds plus rings in a molecule. Specify the deg

yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

The degree of unsaturation is given as;

Degree of unsaturation = (2C + 2 + N - H - X) / 2

(a) C5H6

Using the formular above;

Degree of unsaturation = [ 2(5) + 2 - 6] / 2

Degree of unsaturation = [ 12 - 6 ] / 2 = 3

(b) C10H6Cl2

Using the formular above;

Degree of unsaturation = [ 2(10) + 2 - 6 -2 ] / 2

Degree of unsaturation = [ 22 - 8 ] / 2 = 7

Using the formular above;

Degree of unsaturation = [ 2(4) + 2 - 3 -1 ] / 2

Degree of unsaturation = [ 10 - 4 ] / 2 = 3

Note: Oxygen is ignored because its presence has no effect on the degree of unsaturation.
