Which statement about organisms in the fossil record is correct? A.Organisms show a decrease in diversity only right before an extinction event. B.Organisms show a steady increase in diversity, interrupted by extinction events. C.Organisms show a steady decrease in diversity, interrupted by extinction events. D.Organisms show an increase in diversity only right after an extinction event.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Organisms show a decrease in diversity only right before an extinction event.

Explanation:

Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds. This brings to an end the existence of a particular specie of organisms.

Extinctions occur only after there is a decrease in the diversity of a specie due to specific conditions such as predators, loss of habitat etc that makes the members of that specie to become endangered.

Under the right conditions, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) can chemically combine to form sodium chlorine. Which of the following best explains how sodium and chlorine are able to create sodium chlorine?
A: sodium and chlorine exchange neutrons between eachother when they combine
B: electrons are transferred between sodium and chlorine when they combine
C: extra protons are created when both sodium and chlorine combine
D: The nucleus of both sodium and chlorine combined together

Answers

Answer:

I am pretty sure the answer is B

Explanation:

The Answer is B

When atoms combine, it’s usually through the transfer or sharing of valance electrons. Valance electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These electrons can be given away or shared to combine with other atoms. In this particular case with sodium and chlorine, sodium gives away a valance electron to chlorine.

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, discovered a way to synthesize ammonia gas (NH3) by combining hydrogen and nitrogen gases according to the following equation:

3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)

What volume of nitrogen is needed to produce 250.0 L of ammonia gas at STP?
L
What volume of hydrogen is needed to produce 2.50 mol NH3 at STP?
L

Answers

Answer:

Volume of nitrogen needed  = 125.5 L

Volume of hydrogen needed = 84.05 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of ammonia produced = 250.0 L

Volume of nitrogen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂  →    2NH₃

Number of moles of ammonia:

PV = nRT

1 atm× 250.0 L = n × 0.0821 amt.L/mol.K × 273K

250.0 atm.L = n × 22.41 amt.L/mol

n = 250.0 atm.L /22.41 amt.L/mol

n = 11.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with nitrogen.

             NH₃          :           N₂

               2             :            1

             11.2            :         1/2×11.2 = 5.6 mol

Volume of nitrogen needed:

PV = nRT

1 atm× V  = 5.6 mol × 0.0821 amt.L/mol.K × 273K

V  = 125.5amt.L/1 atm

V = 125.5 L

2nd)

Given data:

Number of moles of ammonia produced = 2.50 mol

Volume of hydrogen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂  →    2NH₃

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and hydrogen.

                     NH₃          :          H₂

                       2            :            3

                    2.50         :           3/2×2.50 = 3.75 mol    

Volume of hydrogen:

PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 3.75 mol × 0.0821 amt.L/mol.K × 273K

V = 84.05 amt.L/1 atm

V = 84.05 L

elements are:

a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom.

A scientist plants two rows for experimentation. She puts fertilizer on row 1 but does not put fertilizer on row 2. Both rows receive the same amount of water and light intensity. She checks the height of the corn growth over the course of 5 months. What is a constant in this experiment?

Answers

Answer:

Water and light intensity

Explanation:

In an experiment, the component parts of the experiment usually includes a variable which is of two types- independent variable, dependent variable; a constant and a control.

An independent variable is the part of the experiment the person changes or controls.

The dependent variable is the part of the experiment that changes due to changes being made to the independent variable.

The control group is a part of the experiment in which all variable factors have been kept constant and which is used as a standard to compare with other trials of the experiment.

A constant is the part or factor which do not change and is kept constant during the experiment.

In the experiment conducted by the scientist, the two rows of plant receives the same amount of water and light intensity, therefore, they are both the constants.

What is motion?

Motion is defined as a phenomenon which is described with respect to change in object's position with respect to time.It is given in terms of displacement,velocity,distance ,acceleration,speed.

Branch of physics which deals with motion of objects without any reference to it's cause is called kinematics while the branch which studies forces and their effects on motion is called as dynamics.

Motion applies to various systems like objects,bodies, matter particles ,radiation ,curvature.There are three laws of motion which are proposed by Newton.Classical mechanics is based on Newton's law of motion.Relativistic  mechanics is based on modern kinematics.

(B) At a given temperature, all the particles have the same amount of kinetic energy. (C) At a given temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecules is constantly changing. (D) At a given temperature, the temperature value is a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules.

Answers

Answer:

(D) At a given temperature, the temperature value is a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of an object due to its motion.

Kinetic energy remains the same at a constant temperature but increases with an increase in temperature.

At a given temperature, the temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules. With the increase in temperature of the molecule, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles and some of the energy contributed to the motion of the molecules. This causes change in average kinetic energy of molecules due to an increase in temperature.

The root mean square (RMS) speed of the molecules is the square root of the average of each individual velocity squared.

Hence, the correct answer is "(D)."

The infrared radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum is come in between ultraviolet waves and microwaves. It have high frequency than microwave and low frequency than UV rays. Thus option D is correct.

What is electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of different radiations in the order of increasing frequency or increasing energy thus in the decreasing order of wavelength.

The longer wave is radio waves with lowest energy and then microwave after that infrared waves are arranged in the spectrum. Thus next from visible light to UV, gamma and x-rays energy and frequency increases.

Higher wavelength radiations are less powerful but travel more distance where as shorter waves are more powerful but travel less. Thus, the radiation have less frequency than UV rays but high frequency than microwave is Infrared rays. Option D is correct.
