Answer: The discovery of three buried lakes. Scientists think that a long time ago there were lakes and rivers, etc on Mars. Now of course, you can't see any visible water sources on the surface.
Answer:
Almost all water on Mars today exists as ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere.[5] What was thought to be low-volume liquid brines in shallow Martian soil, also called recurrent slope lineae may be grains of flowing sand and dust slipping downhill to make dark streaks.The only place where water ice is visible at the surface is at the north polar ice cap. Abundant water ice is also present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the Martian south pole and in the shallow subsurface at more temperate conditions. More than 5 million km3 of ice have been detected at or near the surface of Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters. Even more ice is likely to be locked away in the deep subsurface.
Some liquid water may occur transiently on the Martian surface today, but limited to traces of dissolved moisture from the atmosphere and thin films, which are challenging environments for known life. No large standing bodies of liquid water exist on the planet's surface, because the atmospheric pressure there averages just 600 pascals , a figure slightly below the vapor pressure of water at its melting point; under average Martian conditions, pure water on the Martian surface would freeze or, if heated to above the melting point, would sublime to vapor. Before about 3.8 billion years ago, Mars may have had a denser atmosphere and higher surface temperatures, allowing vast amounts of liquid water on the surface, possibly including a large ocean that may have covered one-third of the planet.Water has also apparently flowed across the surface for short periods at various intervals more recently in Mars' history. Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater, explored by the Curiosity rover, is the geological remains of an ancient freshwater lake that could have been a hospitable environment for microbial life.Many lines of evidence indicate that water ice is abundant on Mars and it has played a significant role in the planet's geologic history.The present-day inventory of water on Mars can be estimated from spacecraft images, remote sensing techniques (spectroscopic measurements, radar, etc.), and surface investigations from landers and rovers.Geologic evidence of past water includes enormous outflow channels carved by floods, ancient river valley networks, deltas and lakebeds,and the detection of rocks and minerals on the surface that could only have formed in liquid water. Numerous geomorphic features suggest the presence of ground ice (permafrost)and the movement of ice in glaciers, both in the recent past and present. Gullies and slope lineae along cliffs and crater walls suggest that flowing water continues to shape the surface of Mars, although to a far lesser degree than in the ancient past.Although the surface of Mars was periodically wet and could have been hospitable to microbial life billions of years ago, the current environment at the surface is dry and subfreezing, probably presenting an insurmountable obstacle for living organisms. In addition, Mars lacks a thick atmosphere, ozone layer, and magnetic field, allowing solar and cosmic radiation to strike the surface unimpeded. The damaging effects of ionizing radiation on cellular structure is another one of the prime limiting factors on the survival of life on the surface. Therefore, the best potential locations for discovering life on Mars may be in subsurface environments. Large amounts of underground ice have been found on Mars; the volume of water detected is equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior. In 2018, scientists reported the discovery of a subglacial lake on Mars, 1.5 km (0.93 mi) below the southern polar ice cap, with a horizontal extent of about 20 km (12 mi), the first known stable body of liquid water on the planet.Understanding the extent and situation of water on Mars is vital to assess the planet’s potential for harboring life and for providing usable resources for future human exploration. For this reason, "Follow the Water" was the science theme of NASA's Mars Exploration Program (MEP) in the first decade of the 21st century. NASA and ESA missions including 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and Mars Phoenix lander have provided information about water's abundance and distribution on Mars.Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, MRO, and Mars Science Lander Curiosity rover are still operating, and discoveries continue to be made.

A percent composition analysis yields
22.6% phosphorus (P) and 77.4%
chlorine (CI). What is the empirical
formula for the compound?
А
B
P2C17
PCI:
Answer:
PCl₃
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula of a compound, we need to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Divide each percent composition by the atomic mass of the element
P: 22.6/30.97 = 0.729
Cl: 77.4/35.45 = 2.18
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 0.729
P: 0.729/0.729 = 1
Cl: 2.18/0.729 ≈ 3
The empirical formula of the compound is PCl₃.

According the article , why is it difficult for many cities in the U.S today to recycle
Why recycling isn't working in the U.S.
Many recyclables become contaminated when items are placed in the wrong bin, or when a dirty food container gets into the recycling bin. Contamination can prevent large batches of material from being recycled. Other materials can't be processed in certain facilities.
#7 which of the following decreases the rate of solubility of solid molecules in a solution?
Answer:
7. Option D
Explanation:
Solubility increases with the increase in temperature of the solution. It is so because the increase in temperature leads to increase in kinetic energy which then breaks the solute particles held together by intermolecular attractions.
Hence, option D is correct

.50 ml of a solution are diluted to a volume of 100 ml. The concentration of the diluted
solution is 2 M. What was the concentration of the original solution?
pls answer asap! will mark as brainly ist!!
Answer:
4 M
Explanation:
To answer this problem we can use the following formula:
V₁C₁ = V₂C₂Where the subscript 1 refers to the volume and concentration before diluting, and 2 refers to volume and concentration after diluting.
Meaning that in this case we can write:
50 mL * C₁ = 100 mL * 2 MWe can now solve for C₁:
C₁ = 4 MThe sky on Earth is blue because blue light is scattered through the atmosphere as the other colors of light pass

In that question how( b) are enantiomers? I want the steps pleas ?
Answers:
1. firstly Start numbering from that carbon atom which would be nearest to chlorine .
2. then if u observed properly , both chlorine is attached are attached to 2nd carbon atom.
3.but in first one chlorine is on the left side
whereas in the second one chlorine right side.
p.s:
1. well, were u have number carbon three in above pic take it as C1 than C2( if u observed it is were Cl is attached to C2 ) than C3 ,C4.
2. Then similarly in second molecules where u have number C3 in above pic take it as C1 than C2 (if u observed , again Cl is attached to C2 but this time it is one on opposite sides.
now imagine if u kept first molecules on second one.
matching C1 C2 C3 C4 of first molecules with
C1 C2 C3 C4 of second molecule .
u will observed that in both of them Cl is on C2 but they in exactly opposite position
Explanation:
Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other.

how many moles of ammonia can be formed from 4.0 mol H2
how many moles of hydrogen are required to form 8.0 mol NH3
how many moles of nitrogen are required to react with 6.0 mol H2
Answer: 1. 2.7 moles of ammonia are formed
2. 12.0 moles of hydrogen are required
3. 2.0 moles of nitrogen are required
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation is:
[tex]N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3[/tex]
According to stoichiometry:
3 moles of hydrogen form = 2 moles of ammonia
Thus 4.0 moles of hydrogen form =[tex]\frac{2}{3}\times 4.0=2.7moles[/tex] of ammonia
According to stoichiometry:
2 moles of ammonia are formed by = 3 moles of hydrogen
Thus 8.0 moles of ammonia are formed by =[tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 8.0=12.0moles[/tex] of hydrogen
According to stoichiometry:
3 moles of hydrogen react with = 1 mole of nitrogen
Thus 6.0 moles of hydrogen react with =[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times 6.0=2.0moles[/tex] of nitrogen

If objects with a greater mass have greater gravitational pull, why is our solar
system, Sun, planets and asteroids, NOT pulled into Alpha Centauri A?
Answer:
It's too far away
Explanation:
According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.
