Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.

How many atoms are found in 3.45g of CO2?

USPshnik [31]

Answer: The number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is $4.72\times 10^{22}$ and $9.44\times 10^{22}$ respectively

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of carbon dioxide gas = 3.45 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon dioxide gas}=\frac{3.45g}{44g/mol}=0.0784mol$

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas contains 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen atoms.

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\time 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, 0.0784 moles of carbon dioxide gas will contain $1\times 0.0784\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.72\times 10^{22}$ number of carbon atoms and $2\times 0.0784\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=9.44\times 10^{22}$ number of oxygen atoms

Hence, the number of carbon and oxygen atoms in the given amount of carbon dioxide is $4.72\times 10^{22}$ and $9.44\times 10^{22}$ respectively

After a polypeptide chain has been synthesized, certain amino acids in the peptide may become modified. For each modified amino

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The modification that yields the first amino acid depicted is lysine

Explanation:

Lysine being an amino acid used in preparation of various medicine. It is used to prevent cold as well as sore throat, which is found to be caused by the herpes simplex labialis. It can be used orally or can be directly applied over the skin. various foods have lysine in it and they are meat, cheese, certain fishes, eggs, soybeans, spirulina and also fenugreek seed. They are the building block for the protein particles.
