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

1 answer:

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.

What is a product in a chemical reaction?

Alexus [3.1K]

chemical reaction results in the forming or breaking apart of chemical bonds between various elements. These reactions can result in many different outcomes, which can be affected by temperature, pressure and the amount of the reactants. Catalysts can also start a reaction or speed up its rate. However, the catalyst is not involved in the chemical reaction, as it remains unchanged before and after the reaction.
Although the elements and compounds may change form during the reaction, every atom in the reactants is also found in one of the products. In the reaction, individual elements can bond together to form compounds, or compounds can break apart into elements. For instance, when water is exposed to an electrical current, it breaks apart into oxygen and hydrogen gases. Alternatively, when zinc and sulfur react together, the two elements bond together to form zinc sulfide.
Some reactions also result in chemical equilibrium, which occurs when the reactants change into products at the same time as the products change back into the original reactants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

The entropy of a substance can be obtained by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature a given amount, using a reversible process . The standard molar entropy, So, is the entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state, at 1 atm of pressure. (Below are listed tips)

- At absolute zero (0 K), the entropy of a pure, perfect crystal is zero.

- The entropy of a substance can be obtained by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature a given amount, using a reversible process.

- The standard molar entropy, So, is the entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state, at 1 atm of pressure.

PLEASE HELP: You have been given 2.42 moles of beryllium sulfide (BeS), determine the mass in grams of beryllium sulfide that yo

Alecsey [184]

The mass in grams of the given beryllium sulfide is 99.2 g. The correct option is the second option - 99.2 g BeS

<h3>Calculating mass of a compound </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the mass of the given beryllium sulfide.

From the given information,

Number of moles of beryllium sulfide (BeS) given = 2.42 moles

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of BeS = 41 g/mol

Then,

Mass of BeS = 2.42 × 41

Mass of BeS = 99.22

Mass of BeS ≅ 99.2 g

Hence, the mass in grams of the given beryllium sulfide is 99.2 g. The correct option is the second option - 99.2 g BeS

Draw and name the structures of the carboxylic acids and esters you put together using molecular models.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

However, when the carboxylic acids and esters put together are obtained, the procedure below can be followed in drawing and naming them.

For carboxylic acid,

1) it should be noted that the functional group here is -COOH which is drawn as -C = OH

2) The carbon of the functional group is included among the carbon to be counted when naming the structure. For example, the compound below is propanoic acid.

CH₃CH₂COOH - As you can see that there are 3 carbons linked chain there.

3) As can be seen in (2) above, the suffix "oic" is used to name carboxylic acids

4) The carbon chain here is saturated (meaning there is no double or triple bond within the carbon chain)

Example of a structure of carboxylic acid is

H₃C - CH₂ - CH₂ - C = OH

The structure above is a butanoic acid

For ester

1)The functional group here is -COO- . which can be drawn as

- C = O

O -

(meaning one oxygen atom is double bonded to the carbon and the other oxygen atom is bonded to another carbon chain)

2) The alkyl group attached to the oxygen atom is first of all mentioned before the carbon chain attached from the left is mentioned. For example, CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃ is ethyl butanoate

3) As seen from (2) above, the suffix "oate" is used to end the name of esters

4) As also seen from (2) above, the carbon of the functional group is also included while counting the carbon chain of the parent name (butanoate).

5) The carbon chains here are also saturated.

Example of this ester is

CH₃CH₂C = O

O - CH₂CH₃

The name of this compound is ethyl propanoate
