What was required in order for life to originate on Earth from nonliving molecules?

In my opinion, the question is in error. 1) How would you define the idea "life", and how would you define the idea "nonliving" ? 2) You state, that "life" on Earth originated from "nonliving" molecules. Are you sure that is the case ? Maybe if you substitute the words in double quotes by the definitions you gave as the answers on question #1, you may see that the distinction you thought, is not according the reality, but just a fallacy. What if every molecule, or even every particle, is like a building_block of which Life is made of ? What do you think about the axioma or statement: "In Life, Only Life Exists" ?


Describes what elements are in a compound and in what proportions?

A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded in fixed proportions. The elements in a compound are present in set ratios determined by the compound's chemical formula. Each compound has a unique combination of elements and proportions that define its chemical properties.


Is an element something that can't be broken down into smaller particles?

Robert Boyle was the first to define an element as a substance that is unable to be broken down into smaller substance by chemical reaction.


Chemical change definition?

A chemical change occurs when a substance undergoes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. This often involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. Examples include rusting of iron, burning of wood, and digestion of food.


Define pure substance?

A pure substance is a material made of only one type of particle, element, or compound. It has uniform and constant physical and chemical properties, meaning it does not vary in composition or characteristics throughout the sample.

Do you have to take a Chemical Engineer degree at university to become a Chemical Engineer or could you take a Chemistry degree?

Well, believe it or not, it is somewhat possible. The chair in my chemical engineering department at the University of Toronto,is actually an applied chemist who took a masters in chemical engineering. But, in terms of knowledge, I believe that a chemist lacks fundamental knowledge about thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, process control, etc.. These core courses really define a chemical engineer at the bachelors level. In short, you will not be considered a chemical engineer with a chemistry degree. You can get a masters aftewards in chemical engineering, but the uses for that are somewhat debatable.


The first person to define an acid and base in chemical terms was?

The first person to categorize acids and bases in chemical terms would be Danish chemist, Soren Peder Lauritz Sorensen, and he did so in 1909. Sorensen was first to introduce the concept of pH, the scale of measure for acidity and basicity.

Define chemical kinectics and it components?

Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates. Its components include the rate of reaction, activation energy, reaction mechanisms, and reaction orders. By understanding these components, chemists can predict and control the speed of chemical reactions.
