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.

Jill then wrote the formulas for all the possible compounds that sodium can form with the other ions. What formulas did she writ
sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

Sodium has atomic number of 11 and its electronic configuration is given by:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

The nearest stable electronic configuration to sodium is of the neon. So, in order to attain stability of noble gas it will loose its single electron.

Na\rightarrow Na^++1e^-

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Sodium has single valency that is 1.

Let nbe the valency of the ion 'X'

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Na_nX_1

So, the formulas for all the possible compounds that sodium can form with the other ions will be:

Na_nX_1

What is a reaction rate?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A reaction rate is a measure of how fast a reactant disappears or a product forms during a reaction.

Explanation:

It is usually defined as the change in concentration per unit time:

Δ(concentration)/Δt

The units are (moles per litre) per second.

In symbols, the units are mol/(L·s) or mol·L^-1 s^-1.
