<span>The fossil fuels form from the buried remains of ancient organisms, </span>formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.
<span> These plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. So, three things that act on decaying organisms to help form fossil fuels are:
-pressure
-heat
-physical and chemical changes
People  use fossil fuels products for transportation and heating, many power plants burn coal for heat to turn turbines that generate electrical energy. ...</span>

Find the density if the volume is 15 mL and the mass is 8.6 g. (5 pts)
allsm [11]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.57 g/mL; 3.7 mL; 6.6 g; 0.366 g/mL}}

Explanation:

1. Density from mass and volume

\text{Density} = \dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\\\\\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\rho = \dfrac{\text{8.6 g}}{\text{15 mL}} = \text{0.57 g/mL}\\\text{The density is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.57 g/mL}}$}

2. Volume from density and mass

V = \text{9.7 g}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mL}}{\text{2.6 g}} = \text{3.7 mL}\\\\\text{The volume is $\large \boxed{\textbf{3.7 mL}}$}

3. Mass from density and volume

\text{Mass} = \text{4.1 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1.6 g}}{\text{1 cm}^{3}} = \textbf{6.6 g}\\\\\text{The mass is $\large \boxed{\textbf{6.6 g}}$}

4. Density by displacement

Volume of water + object = 24.6 mL

Volume of water                =<u> 12.8 mL</u>

Volume of object               = 11.8 mL

\rho = \dfrac{\text{4.3 g}}{\text{11.8 mL}} = \text{0.36 g/mL}\\\text{The density is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.36 g/mL}}$}

Your drawing showing water displacement using a graduated cylinder should resemble the figure below.

Which statement best describes balancing equations and the law of conservation of mass?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The number of atoms is the same in the reactants and in the products, and the total mass is the same in the reactants and in

the products

Explanation:

For an equation to termed balance, the number of atoms of elements in the reactants must be equal to the number of atoms of the same element in the product.

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation simply means that matter have been created or destroyed. This implies that balancing equation supports the laws of conservation of mass
