Answer:

heavier gases - sank to the surface

lighter gases - escaped into space

oxygen - produced through photosynthesis

carbon dioxide - released by volcanoes

Explanation:

Since the formation of the atmosphere on Earth, there has been constant changes in it, gradually leading to the atmosphere that we have nowadays. In the distant past, the atmosphere was much different, and it took lot of time for it to become what it is. The volcanoes with their activity contributed to constant release of carbon dioxide, resulting in the greenhouse effect. The organisms that are able to perform photosynthesis started to release lot of oxygen into the atmosphere, thus setting up better living conditions. The gravity of our planet contributed to the vertical distribution of the gasses, with the heavier being lower, and the lighter ones being further up or released into space.

How many cycles of the synthesis pathway are needed to produce myristic acid, c13h27cooh?
Alenkasestr [34]
The primary cycle of fatty acid synthesis produces a four-carbon acyl group. Every following cycle adds a three-carbon malonyl group, which stretches off one molecule of CO2 (one carbon atom) in a condensation response. Thus, the net number of carbon atoms additional by each following cycle is two. For the reason that the first cycle makes a four-carbon chain, and each added cycle extends the chain by two carbon atoms, the second cycle fallouts in a six-carbon chain, the third cycle fallouts in an eight-carbon chain, and so on. And so, the synthesis of the 14-carbon myristic acid necessitates six repetitions.

Magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.3. there are two isotopes of magnesium - one contains 12 neutrons and the other contains 13 n
Juli2301 [7.4K]
So what we know:
-Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
-Atomic Number is the number of protons

Magnesium's atomic number is 12, so the natural occurring isotope for magnesium is Mg-12 (12 protons and 12 neutrons). Added up we have an atomic mass of 24 amu. Which means if we added one neutron in Mg-13, our atomic mass would be 25 amu.

We can use the equation:
(amu of isotope 1)x + (amu of isotop 2)(x-1) = Average atomic mass
where isotope 1 is the fractional abundance we're solving for.

Plugged in it looks like this:
24x + 25(1-x) = 24.3

Now to solve for x:
24x + 25 - 25x = 24.3
   -x + 25 = 24.3
        -x = -.7
         x = .7

So in this case, the fractional abundance of Mg-12 would be .7, or 70%.<span />

recheck Fusion reactions power the in space. Humans currently use fusion in , but researchers are seeking more applications.
quester [9]

One: looks to be correct for both answers. Certainly the first one is. The second depends on your other choices. But military use is one.

Two: is correct. Pd has (in this case) an atomic mass of 114 and its number is 46

Three: Even with my slop numbers, 4.98  is the answer (although I get 4.99 but again, my numbers are pretty sloppy).

Four: Slop numbers say 78.3, but 78 is the right answer.

Five: Slop numbers agree with Al2S3. I think that's D

They are all correct. Very Fine Work.
