A rock climbing group reached the top of Mount Everest in the Himalayan mountains. Mount Everest is about 29,000 feet above sea

level and formed by the interaction of two tectonic plates. The group leader was surprised to find fossilized marine organisms on top of the mountain. Which of the following describes the geologic history of Mount Everest?
answer choices:
A: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused the denser plate containing fossilized marine organisms to rise above the surface and form the Himalayan mountains.


B: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused one plate to subduct into the ocean and the other one to rise causing marine organisms to fossilize on top of Mount Everest.


C: Two tectonic plates had the same density which caused one plate to subduct into a transform boundary that fossilized marine organisms before the Himalayan mountains were formed and uplifted.


D: Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Salts can be several different colors and may be any of the five tastes, including salty, sweet, bitter, sour or savory. Their odor depends on the acid and base it is comprised of. Salts comprised of strong acids and bases, called strong salts, are odorless.

An unknown amount of acid can often be determined by adding an excess of base and then back-titrating the excess. A 0.3471−g sam
MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Mass of mixture = 0.3471 g

As the mixture contains oxalic acid and benzoic acid. So, oxalic acid will have two protons and benzoic acid has one proton.

This means oxalic acid will react with 2 moles of NaOH and benzoic acid will react with 1 mole of NaOH.

Hence,   moles of NaOH in 97 ml = \frac{0.1090 \times 97}{1000}

                                                       = 10.573 \times 10^{-3} mol

Moles of HCl in 21.00 ml = \frac{0.2060 \times 21}{1000}

                                         = 4.326 \times 10^{-3} mol

Therefore, total moles of NaOH that reacted are as follows.

           10.573 \times 10^{-3} mol - 4.326 \times 10^{-3} mol      

                = 6.247 \times 10^{-3} mol

So, total 3 mole of NaOH will react with 1 mole of mixture. Therefore, number of moles of NaOH reacted with benzoic acid is as follows.

                  \frac{6.247 \times 10^{-3}}{3}

                    = 2.082 \times 10^{-3} mol

Since, molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol. Therefore, calculate the mass of NaOH as follows.

                    2.082 \times 10^{-3} mol \times 40 g/mol

                         = 83.293 \times 10^{-3} g

                         = 0.0832 g

Whereas molar mass of benzoic acid is 122 g/mol.

Therefore,       40 g NaOH = 122 g benzoic acid

So,            0.0832 g NaOH = \frac{122 g}{40 g} \times 0.0832 g

                                             = 0.253 g

Hence, calculate the % mass of benzoic acid as follows.

                      \frac{0.253 g}{0.3471 g} \times 100

                           = 73.10%

Thus, we can conclude that mass % of benzoic acid is 73.10%.

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the <u>phosphate</u> group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the <u>hydroxyl</u> group attached to the <u>3'</u> carbon atom

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polymers formed by a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and a nitrogenous base. In the chain, the phosphate groups are linked to the 5'-carbon and 3'-carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) and the nitrogenous base is linked to the 2-carbon. Based on this structure, the nucleic acid chain orientation is identified as the 5'-end (the free phosphate group linked to 5'-carbon of the sugar) and the 3'-end (the free hydroxyl group in the sugar in 3' position).
