6. fossils are remains of organisms found in sedimentary rock. these remains are found in thousands of rock layers around the world and provide evidence for earth's long history of changing lifeforms.

rock layers that formed more recently
contain fossils of animals only.

contain fossils that resemble existing species less closely than do fossils found in older rock layers.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

How does the value of the equilibrium constant show that a reaction reaches equilibrium very quickly? (a) the equilibrium constant is large. (b) the equilibrium constant is small. (c) the equilibrium constant is zero. (d) the value of the equilibrium constant does not show how quickly a reaction comes to equilibrium.
