How does the location of mesosaurus fossils support the theory of continental drifts?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

For this reason, the existence of Mesosaurus helps support the theory of continental drift; that is, the now-well-attested fact that South America and Africa were joined together into the giant continent Gondwana 300 million years ago before the continental plates supporting them broke apart and drifted.

4. How many grams of ammonium carbonate are needed to decompose in order to produce
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

14.23g of (NH4)2CO3

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

(NH4)2CO3 –> (NH4)2O + CO2

Next,, we shall determine the mass of (NH4)2CO3 that decomposed and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of (NH4)2CO3 = 2[14+(4x1)] + 12 + (16x3)

= 2[14 +4] + 12 + 48

= 2[18] + 60 = 96g/mol

Mass of (NH4)2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 96 = 96g

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 44 = 44g.

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

96g of (NH4)2CO3 decomposed to produce 44g of CO2.

Finally, we can determine the mass of (NH4)2CO3 that decomposed to produce 6.52g of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

96g of (NH4)2CO3 decomposed to produce 44g of CO2.

Therefore, Xg of (NH4)2CO3 will decompose to produce 6.52g of CO2 i.e

Xg of (NH4)2CO3 = (96 x 6.52)/44

Xg of (NH4)2CO3 = 14.23g

Therefore, 14.23g of (NH4)2CO3 is needed to produce 6.52g of CO2.

Explain how human activity can affect the carbon cycle.
Eva8 [605]

Answers:

              Human activities badly affect carbon cycle. Activities such as burning fossil fuel and deforestation have begun to effect on carbon cycle and the rise of carbon dioxide in atmosphere.

Explanation:

                   The carbon cycle can be affect when carbon dioxide is either released into atmosphere or remove from atmosphere. When fossil are burnt , carbon is release to the atmosphere at faster rate then it is removed. Natural gas, oil, coal, and other industrial products all are affecting carbon cycle in atmosphere.

                     Deforestation means permanent removal of trees from forest which cause increase in level of carbon dioxide because no trees longer to absorb carbon dioxide from atmosphere. Which result affect on carbon cycle.

A student prepares a 1.8 M aqueous solution of 4-chlorobutanoic acid (C2H CICO,H. Calculate the fraction of 4-chlorobutanoic aci
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \to C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)}+ H^+_{(aq)}

The ICE table is then shown as:

                               C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)}  \ \ \ \ \to  \ \ \ \ C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)} \ \ +  \ \ \ \ H^+_{(aq)}

Initial   (M)                     1.8                                       0                               0

Change  (M)                   - x                                     + x                           + x

Equilibrium   (M)            (1.8 -x)                                  x                              x

K_a  = \frac{[C_3H_6ClCO^-_2][H^+]}{[C_3H_6ClCO_2H]}

where ;

K_a = 3.02*10^{-5}

3.02*10^{-5} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(1.8-x)}

Since the value for K_a is infinitesimally small; then 1.8 - x ≅ 1.8

Then;

3.02*10^{-5} *(1.8) = {(x)(x)}

5.436*10^{-5}= {(x^2)

x = \sqrt{5.436*10^{-5}}

x = 0.0073729 \\ \\ x = 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Dissociated form of  4-chlorobutanoic acid = C_3H_6ClCO_2^- = x= 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Percentage dissociated = \frac{C_3H_6ClCO^-_2}{C_3H_6ClCO_2H} *100

Percentage dissociated = \frac{7.3729*10^{-3}}{1.8 }*100

Percentage dissociated = 0.4096

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%     (to two significant digits)

The necessity of ascorbic acid for its role in _____ is believed to be the reason that people with scurvy have no energy and are
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.
