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....

Calculate the volume occupied by 272g

cupoosta [38]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

Explanation:

Given:

mass of methane( $CH_{4}$ ) = 272 grams

pressure (P) = 250 k Pa =250×10^3 Pa

temperature(t) = 54°C =54 + 273 = 327 K

Also given:

R = 8.31JK-1 mol-1 ,

Molar mass of methane( $CH_{4}$ ) = 16.0 grams

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

P × V = n × R × T

here,

n = m÷M

n =272 ÷ 16

n = 17 moles

Therefore,

250×10^3 × V = 17 × 8.31 × 327

V = ( 17 × 8.31 × 327 ) ÷ ( 250×10^3 )

V = 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

Therefore volume occupied by methane gas is 184.78 × 10^-3 liters

The process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria is called

artcher [175]

Nitrogen fixation is the process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria. The process is undertaken by the rhizobium bacteria that live in root roots of plants such as legumes. The mutualistic relationship is that the plant supplies the bacteria with a habitat in which to live, water, and nutrients, and the bacteria supply nitrogen for making plant proteins.
