Geography

A hominin (human family) skull was found in a shale layer between two fine-grained igneous rock layers. There were no baked zones on the rocks above the igneous layers. The skull had been 100% fossilized and changed to stone; there was no original skull material left. On the basis of this information, decide which of the following statements is true. a. The skull should be dated by the carbon-14 method, since this is the method used for organic material older than 1 million years. b. The igneous layers can be dated by radiometric methods; the shale

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by Master

a. The skull should be dated by the carbon-14 method, since this is the method used for organic material older than 1 million years.

Explanation:

The skull can be given an absolute age as it lies in a layer between the two sills. These igneous layers flow not the sills, as they have not baked by the sedimentary rocks that are found above and below them. The sedimentary rocks themselves cant be dated radio-metrically. Theses skull could be more than 100,000 years old as the genus of the homo has existed since then and now.

What elements combined with Strontium, St, in a 1:1 ratio?

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

Answer: chalcogens.
Explanation: Strontium is an alkaline earth metal, it always exhibits a degree of oxidation in its compounds +2.
Chalcogens are a group of 6 chemical elements (oxygen O, sulfur S, selenium se, tellurium te, polonium Po) that have an oxidation state of -2 => Chalcogens will combine with strontium in a ratio of 1:1.

Fiona claims that the diagram below shows simple machines, but Chad claims that it shows a compound machine. A man pushes a shopping cart up a ramp. Which statement best explains who is correct? Fiona is correct because less than three machines are shown in the diagram. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines. Chad is correct because more than one machine is shown in the diagram. Chad is correct because the diagram shows two simple machines doing a job.

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by Specialist

Answer: b. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines.

Explanation:
A mechanical device using which we can change the direction or magnitude of force applied is known as simple machine.
For example, in the given diagram there are two individual simple machines.
The machine helps in changing the direction or magnitude of force applied by the man. As a result, it becomes easy for him to carry different things easily from one place to another.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines, is correct.
Answer: b. Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines.

Chemistry

Based on the equation, how many grams of Br2 are required to react completely with 29.2 grams of AlCl3 (5 points)? 2AlCl3 + 3Br2 → 2AlBr3 + 3Cl2

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

1

Answer:

52.6 gram

Step-by-step explanation:

It is clear by the equation 2(27+3×35.5)= 267 gm of AlCl3 reacts with 6× 80 = 480 gm of Br2 . So 29.2 gm reacts = 480× 29.2/267= 52.6 gm

Give an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with Molisch’s Reagent

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

glycoproteins

Explanation:

A positive reaction for Molisch's test is given by almost all carbohydrates (exceptions include tetroses & trioses). It can be noted that even some glycoproteins and nucleic acids give positive results for this test (since they tend to undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong mineral acids and form monosaccharides).

what is the volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N2 gas st 328K and .884 atm?

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

Answer:

Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N2 gas at 328K and 0.884 atm is 26.07 L.

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of point particles that move randomly and do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.

Explanation:

In this case, you know:

P= 0.884 atm

V= ?

n= Answer:Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N 0.857 moles (where 28 g/mole is the molar mass of N₂, that is, the amount of mass that the substance contains in one mole.)

R=0.082 Answer:Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N

T= 328 K

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.884 atm×V= 0.857 moles× 0.082 Answer:Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N ×328 K

Solving:

Answer:Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N

V= 26.07 L

The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N2 gas at 328K and 0.884 atm is 26.07 L.

The reaction of 15 moles carbon with 30 moles O2. Will result in a theoretical yield of_ moles CO2.

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

15 moles.Explanation:Hello,In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:Clearly, since carbon and oxygen are in a 1:1 molar ratio, 15 moles of carbon will completely react with 15 moles of oxygen, therefore 15 moles of oxygen remain as leftovers. In such a way, since carbon and carbon dioxide are also in a 1:1 molar ratio, the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 15 moles based on the stoichiometry:Best regards.
