Answer:

Primordial soup

Explanation:

The primordial soup is a theoretical mixture of organic compounds (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane and ammonia) that may have given rise to life on Earth. When one wants to explain how living organisms appeared on Earth, the theory of primordial soup is often used, which seems to be the most plausible scientific explanation.

Conditions on Earth in its early days were very different from current conditions. The atmosphere had no oxygen, being rich in hydrogen, ammonia, methane and water. According to the primordial soup theory, these substances were prepared to produce amino acids, which would have been able to combine to create organic material that, eventually, could have given rise to life. In order for this to happen, it was necessary to have a catalyst; the amino acids did not appear spontaneously.

The only molecules that can be considered "organic" are methane and carbon dioxide, but these are abiotic and not considered fundamental in the biochemical molecular structure of the first organism.

The likely designation of the list of molecules is "primordial soup," but the proposition that these somehow collected, merged and formed anything associated with the first organism is naturalist mythology, as there are no naturalist processes capable of selectively formulating the required biochemical assemblies needed to construct a functioning organism.

Abiogenesis, the naturalist myth of origin of life is based on chemical evolution, as the Darwinian myth of "warm little ponds," Oparin-Haldane primordial soup, and Miller-Urey test tube goo. No naturalist processes can assemble all the required biochemically required compounds required for the the origin of life.

The solubility of oxygen in lakes high in the Rocky Mountains is affected by the altitude. If the solubility of O2 from the air
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1.75\cdot 10^{-4} M

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. The equation may be written as:

S = k_H p^o

Where k_H is Henry's law constant.

Our strategy will be to identify the Henry's law constant for oxygen given the initial conditions and then use it to find the solubility at different conditions.

Given initially:

S_1 = 2.67\cdot 10^{-4} M

Also, at sea level, we have an atmospheric pressure of:

p = 1.00 atm

Given mole fraction:

\chi_{O_2} = 0.209

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the partial pressure of oxygen is equal to the product of its mole fraction and the total pressure:

p^o = \chi_{O_2} p

Then the equation becomes:

S_1 = k_H \chi_{O_2} p

Solve for k_H:

k_H = \frac{S_1}{\chi_{O_2} p} = \frac{2.67\cdot 10^{-4} M}{0.209\cdot 1.00 atm} = 0.001278 M/atm

Now we're given that at an altitude of 12,000 ft, the atmospheric pressure is now:

p = 0.657 atm

Apply Henry's law using the constant we found:

S_2 = k_H \chi_{O_2} p = 0.001278 M/atm\cdot 0.209\cdot 0.657 atm = 1.75\cdot 10^{-4} M
