Answer:

B) Because modern corals live in warm, shallow seas, we can infer the same

environment existed during the Devonian period, where the Kimberleys are

today

Explanation:

Based on the law of Uniformitarianism we can infer the environment that existed during the formation of the Devonian limestone and the Barrier Reef today.

Since the process that occurs in times past are still occurring today, the depositional environment must have been the same.
The limestone in Kimberly suggests that they must have formed under warm, shallow sea very similar to that of the Barrier reef today.
This interpretation is only made possible by the law of uniformitarianism.

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.

A researcher dilutes 30.0 ml of ethanol to 300.0 ml with distilled water. what is the percentage concentration by volume of the

Len [333]

Answer: 9.09 %

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage concentration by volume, we use the formula:

$\text{Volume percent of solution}=\frac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100$

Volume of ethanol (solute) = 30 ml

Volume of water (solvent) = 300 ml

Volume of solution= volume of solute + volume of solution = 30+ 300 = 330 ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Volume percent of solution}=\frac{30}{30+300}\times 100=9.09\%$

Hence, the volume percent of solution will be 9.09 %.

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su

solong [7]

Answer:

$89.55~\%~of~Fe_2O_3~in~the~sample$

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is the converstion from Kg of $Fe$ to grams of $Fe_2O_3$ .

$1.19x10^3~Kg~Fe~\frac{1000g~Fe}{1~Kg~Fe}~\frac{1~mol~Fe}{55.84~g~Fe}~\frac{1~mol~Fe_2O_3}{2~mol~Fe}~\frac{159.68~g~Fe_2O_3}{1~mol~Fe_2O_3}~\frac{1~Kg~Fe_2O_3}{1000~g~Fe_2O_3}$

$X~=~1.7x10^3~Kg~Fe_2O_3$

Then we can calculate the percentage of $Fe_2O_3$ in the sample:

$\%~Fe_2O_3~=~\frac{1.7x10^3~Kg~Fe_2O_3}{1.9x10^3~Kg~Sample}*100$

$89.55~\%~of~Fe_2O_3~in~the~sample$

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Hypercalcemia can cause stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Bones and muscles. In most cases, the excess calcium in your blood was leached from your bones, which weakens them. This can cause bone pain and muscle weakness.

Some symptoms are:

Fatigue, bone pain, headaches.

Nausea, vomiting, constipation, decrease in appetite.

Forgetfulness.

Lethargy, depression, memory loss or irritability.

Muscle aches, weakness, cramping and/or twitches.
