Blank 1: million of yearsBlank 2: compressionBlank 3: decomposition

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are mixtures of substances that can be burne to obtain energy like coal, petroleum and natural gas.

They are formed by organic matter, mainly carbon and hydrogen, along with other elements.

The theory with the most consensus on the formation of fossil fuels is that they formed after organic matter, plants and animals, died and were buried under a huge mass of sediments.

The huge pressures, in the absence of oxygen, yield the decomposition of the organic matter to form the fossil fuels.

Due to the fossil fuels require million of years to be formed they are considered nonrenewable energy resources, as they cannot possible be formed in a reasonable time on human life scale.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

The reactions shown here can be combined to make the overall reaction c(s) + h2o(g) ⇌ co(g) + h2(g) by reversing some and/or dividing all the coefficients by a number. a. c(s) + o2(g) → co2(g) k=1.363×10^69 b. 2 h2(g) + o2(g) → 2 h2o(g) k=1.389×10^80 c. 2co(g) + o2 (g) → 2 co2(g) k=1.477×10^90
