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.

I believe the answer is C. The bonds in the compound magnesium sulfate is ionic and covalent. Magnesium sulfate is soluble in water. When the said compound is dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions and sulfate ions. However, the bonds that held together the sulfate ions is covalent.

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H2O<br> is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.

Explanation:

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactant and product participate in the reaction:

  • C₃H₈: 1 mole
  • O₂: 5 moles
  • CO₂: 3 moles
  • H₂O: 4 moles

Being the molar mass of each compound:

  • C₃H₈: 44 g/mole
  • O₂: 16 g/mole
  • CO₂: 44 g/mole
  • H₂O: 18 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

  • C₃H₈: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 grams
  • O₂: 5 moles* 16 g/mole= 80 grams
  • CO₂: 3 moles* 44 g/mole= 132 grams
  • H₂O: 4 moles* 18 g/mole= 72 grams

So you can apply the following rules of three:

  • If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 132 grams of CO₂, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of CO₂ will it form?

mass of CO_{2} =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*132 gramsof CO_{2} }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}

mass of CO₂= 336.6 grams

  • If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 72 grams of H₂O, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of H₂O will it form?

mass of H_{2}O =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*72 gramsof H_{2}O }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}

mass of H₂O= 183.6 grams

<u><em>336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.</em></u>

You have a 15.0 gram sample of gold at 20.0°C. How much heat does it take to raise the temperature to 100.0°C?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

=154.8 J

Explanation:

The rise in temperature is contributed by the change in temperature.

Change in enthalpy = MC∅,  where M is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity and ∅ is the change in temperature.

Change in temperature = 100.0°C-20.0°C=80°C

ΔH=MC∅

The specific heat capacity of gold= 0.129 J/g°C

ΔH= 15.0g×0.129J/g°C×80°C

=154.8 J
