Write a scientific explanation that explains how modern whales differ from their ancient ancestors THIS IS A CER so can i get a claim evidence and reasoning

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Modern whales evolved by natural selection over long time periods through descent from common ancestors

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a biological process by which organisms adapt and change in response to their environment. In this case, ancient whales that were better suited to environmental conditions survived and produced more offspring than non-adapted individuals. In consequence, predominant adaptive traits observed in modern whales were favored by natural selection in the past, while unsuccessful phenotypes progressively disappeared.

An element in Group 5 = Bismuth (Bi)

A halogen = Fluorine (F) or Astatine (At)

An alkali Metal = Lithium (L)

A metal in Group 6 = Selenium (Se) , Tellurium (Te) , Polonium (Po)

A gas made up of individual atoms = Argon (Ag)

An element that forms 1+ ions = Lithium

The most reactive element in Group 1 = francium (it doesn't appear in the image)

The most reactive element in Group 7 = Fluorine

An element that is a good catalyst= Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) , Nickel (Ni)

An element that does not react with anything  = Argon

A metal that floats on water = Lithium

An element with a full outer energy of electrons = Helium (He), neon (Ne), and argon (Ar)

A transition Metal = Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) , Nickel (Ni)

A noble gas = Argon (Ar)

The element in Group 6 , Period 5 =   Molybdenum , Tellurium

A non-metal = Fluorine , Argon

A gas made up of Diatomic molecule = Argon (Ar)

An element that forms 1- ions =

The Group 1 element with the highest melting point =  Lithium

The Group 7 element with the highest boiling point = Astatine (As)

An element with 3 electrons in it's outer energy level = Boron

An element that forms coloured compounds = Iron

An element that has a coloured vapour = Chlorine  Fluorine

A metal that can form ions with different charges = Iron, Cobalt , Lead

Explanation:

Halogen : Are any of the six nonmetallic elements that make up Group 17  of the periodic table e.g  fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At).

All elements in Group 1 are Alkali metals( except hydrogen)

Examples :lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).

A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen)

Argon is one of the inert gases that normally exist as single atoms.

Transition metals are good metal catalysts because they easily lend and take electrons from other molecules. A catalyst is a chemical substance that,  does not affect the thermodynamics of a reaction but increases the rate of reaction.

Transition metals ; Scandium. Titanium. Vanadium. Chromium. Manganese. Iron. Cobalt. Nickel.

Noble gases(inert gases) don't react with anything . The family of noble gases includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

Lithium is the lightest metal and has density about half of water.

Group 18 elements (helium, neon, and argon are shown) have a full outer, or valence, shell.

chlorine, fluorine, carbon, nitrogen, arsenic, phosphorus, selenium are examples of non-metal.

Noble gases : helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn).

The following 5 element gases are found as diatomic molecules at room temperature and pressure:

Hydrogen – H. ...

Nitrogen – N. ...

Oxygen – O. ...

Fluorine – F. ...

Chlorine – Cl.

Lithium, Li melts at 180°C.

From the lowest boiling and melting point to the highest, the group in order is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

Like other transition metals, iron forms coloured compounds. The table shows some examples of these. Note that iron can form two different ions in its compounds. Iron(II) compounds contain the Fe 2+ ion and iron(III) compounds contain the Fe 3+ ion.

Elements in group seven(Halogens)  : As you move down the group the halogens become darker in colour. For example fluorine is a very pale yellow whereas iodine will be dark purple in colour when it is in a vapour state.

A few elements, all metals, can form more than one possible charge. For example, iron atoms can form 2+ cations or 3+ cations. Cobalt is another element that can form more than one possible charged ion (2+ and 3+), while lead can form 2+ or 4+ cations.

Here are the energy levels in a fantasy hypothetical hydrogen-like atom. (You cannot use the Rydberg constant, 2.18 x 10-18 J, for this problem, therefore). What is the frequency of a photon that is absorbed when an electron goes from level 2 to level 4? Energyn = 4 -2.10 x 10-19 Jn = 3 -3.20 x 10-19 Jn = 2 - 5.20 x 10-19 Jn = 1 - 9.80 x 10-19 J

Answers

Answer:

4.7 x 10^14 Hz

Explanation:

From Bohr's theory, the energy absorbed or emitted (ΔE) by an atom transiting from one energy level to another is given as;

ΔE = E4 - E2

Where;

E4 = energy corresponding to the energy level n=4

E2 = energy corresponding to the level n= 2

ΔE = (-2.10 x 10-19) - ( - 5.20 x 10-19)

ΔE =3.1 x 10-19

But

ΔE = hf

h = Plank's constant

f= frequency of photon absorbed

f = ΔE/h = 3.1 x 10-19/6.6 x 10-34

f = 4.7 x 10^14 Hz

A student collected a sample of a gas in a 220 mL gas bulb until is pressure reached 0.757 atm at a temperature of 25.0 . The sample weighed 0.299g. What is the molAR mass of the gas?

Answers

Answer:

43.84 g/mol

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of gas present.

So PV = nRT where P = pressure of gass = 0.757 atm, V = volume of gas = 220 mL = 0.22 L, T = temperature of gas = 25 °C = 273 + 25 = 298 K and R = molar gas constant = 0.082 L atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹.

So, n = PV/RT = 0.757 atm × 0.22 L/(0.082 L atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹ × 298 K) = 0.16654 L atm/24.436  L atm mol⁻¹ = 0.00682 mol.

Since mass of gas m = 0.299 g

and n = m/M where M = molar mass of gas

So, M = m/n

\= 0.299 g/0.00682 mol

= 43.84 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the gas is 43.84 g/mol

How do you determine the number of neutrons in the Bohr Model

Answers

Answer: There are many ways. (Check Explanation)

Explanation: Electrons are found outside of the nucleus. Now in the middle of the nucleus there are protons in neutrons. The way to determine the number of neutrons in the Bohr Model are many ways.

Number one, if the neutrons, protons, and electrons were color coded, take away the electrons and you are left with the 2. Then find out which color corresponds to the neutron.

If it isn't color coded, then the protons and electrons should usually be marked with either + or - on it. The one without any of this and that is in the nucleus is the neutron. Last but not least, on some of the models, it can show many protons or neutrons are in the nucleus. For example the potassium bohr model. (Check image) On here, 19+ means 19 protons and 20N means 20 neutrons.

How many moles are equal to 89.23 g of calcium nitrate?

Answers

Answer:

23

Explanation:

According to the mole concept, there are 0.541 moles which are equal to 89.23 g of calcium nitrate.

What is a mole?

A Mole is defined as the unit of amount of substance . Mole is the quantity  which is a measure of amount of substance of how many elementary particles are present in a given amount of  substance.

Mole is defined as exactly 6.022×10²³ elementary entities. The elementary entity can  either be a molecule, atom or an  ion depending on the type of substance in which it is present. Amount of elementary entities present  in a mole is called as Avogadro's number.

Mole is widely used in chemistry as a suitable way for expressing amounts of reactants and products.For many of the the practical purposes, mass of one mole of compound in grams is approximately equal to mass of one molecule of compound  which is measured in Daltons. Molar mass has units of gram per mole . In case of molecules, where molar mass  in grams present in one mole  of atoms is its atomic mass.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass= 89.23/164.88=0.541 moles.

Thus, there are 0.541 moles which are equal to 89.23 g of calcium nitrate.
