Answer:

The principle of superposition states that the oldest rock units are at rock bottom , and therefore the youngest are at the highest . Based on this, layer C is oldest, followed by B and A. So the full sequence of events is as follows: Layer C formed.

Answer:

the lowest one

the same way when you are stacking plates the oldest one is at the bottom and the most recently stacked one is at the top

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2

valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

$\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706$

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75$

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

$\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)$

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5$

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

$\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%$

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is

Zinaida [17]

The order of components in a typical flame atomic absorption spectrometer is hollow cathode lamp--flame--monochromator--detector

<u>Explanation:</u>

The hollow cathode lamp practices a cathode created of the element of interest with a low internal pressure of inert gas.
Remove scattered light of other wavelengths from the flame. AAS flame includes aiming at first the fuel than the oxidant and then lighting the flame with the instrument's auto-ignition system. Applying flame Ddtroy any analyte ions and breakdown complexes.
The process of the monochromator is to divide analytical lines photons moving through the flame
Photomultiplier tube (PMT) as the detector the PMT determines the intensity of photons of the analytical line exiting the monochromator.
