2. What evidence is there that mass extinction events occurred?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.

List 3 scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid
malfutka [58]

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.
malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.

If the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3 and further if the density of chlorine is 36 Find out
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The density of ozone is 4.24.

Explanation:

The relation between the relative rate of diffusion and density is given by :

r\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt d}

The given ratio of the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3.

Let the density of ozone is d₂.

\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}} \\\\\dfrac{6}{3}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{36}} \\\\3=\dfrac{\sqrt{d_2}}{6}\\\\d_2=\sqrt{18} \\\\d_2=4.24

So, the density of ozone is 4.24.
