Answer:

As the world changes, plants and animals change with it. Aside from a few living fossils, the species we see today are very different from species that lived in the past. Thus, the fossil record can be used to show that organisms changed to meet new conditions. This is the result of evolution of species over time.

hope this helps

have a good day :)

What is (3.11*10^-5)-(4.21*10^-2)

Reptile [31]

Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

<h3>Scientific notation</h3>

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten, where the numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

<h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>

When the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is -2.

Then all the values are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 3.11×10⁻⁵= 0.00311×10⁻²

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

0.00311×10⁻² - 4.21×10⁻²= (0.00311 - 4.21)×10⁻²= -4.20689×10⁻²

Finally, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

How might you separate a mixture of sand and salt?

sineoko [7]

You can separate a mixture of salt and sand by...

First combing the mixture with water and mix thoroughly until the salt dissolves..

Then you could let the sand settle at the bottom of the salt water, so you can strain salt water to separate the sand from salt water...

To get salt... you would heat up the water to let it evaporate. When all the water is evaporated, the salt will be left behind

How many atoms of oxygen (O) are in one formula unit of Mg(NO3)2?

miv72 [106K]

We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

Metallic elements can be recovered from ores that are oxides, carbonates, halides, or sulfides. Give an example of each type.

vredina [299]

Metallic elements which can be recovered from ores that are oxides, carbonates, halides, or sulfides are iron, zinc, silver and lead respectively.

Ores which is deposited in earth's crust which contain minerals and metals. Metals can be obtained economically and sold commercially.

<h3>How metals obtained from sulphide or carbonate ore? </h3>

As we get to know that it is easy to obtain metals from their oxides. So, firstly ores which is found in the form of carbonates and sulphide are converted into their oxides by using the process of calcination and roasting.

The metals which is in the middle of the activity series are moderately reactive. These metals are found in the crust of the earth is mainly found as oxides, sulphides, or carbonates.

A metal which can occur in the form of sulphide ore is lead.

A metal which can occur in the form of oxide ore is iron.

A metal which can occur in the form of carbonate ore is zinc.

A metal which can occur in the form of halides ore is silver.

Thus, we concluded that the metallic elements which can be recovered from ores that are oxides, carbonates, halides, or sulfides are iron, zinc, silver and lead respectively.
