Which of the following is true about fossils? A.
Fossils found in lower layers of sedimentary rock are
as old as fossils found in upper layers of sedimentary rock.
B.
Fossils found in lower layers of sedimentary rock are
older than fossils found in upper layers of sedimentary rock.
C.
Fossils found in upper layers of sedimentary rock are
older than fossils found in lower layers of sedimentary rock.
D.
The relative age of fossils cannot be determined from their
position in sedimentary layers.

The answer is B!

Explanation:

if they are lower this means that they have been on the ground longer there for older

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
