It increases the temperature and creates metamorphic rock.

It deposits sediment and forms sedimentary rock.

It breaks down rock into smaller pieces that can become sedimentary rock.

It causes lava to cool and harden into igneous rock.

Answers

Answer 1
The third option is the answer



Weathering is the process that changes solid rock into sediments. Sediments were described in the Rocks chapter. With weathering, rock is disintegrated. It breaks into pieces.
Answer 2

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

How much volume (in cm3) is gained by a person who gains 12.3 lb of pure fat?

Answers

Answer:

So we are given with the mass while we are asked for the amount of volume. So this means, we must need an information on the density. From literature, the density of human fat is 0.918 g/cm³. Convert grams to lb by the conversion that 1,000 g = 2.2 lbs.

Density = 0.918 g/cm³ * (2.2 lbs/1,000 g) = 0.0020196 lb/cm³

Volume = Mass/Density = 12.2 lb / 0.0020196 lb/cm³

Volume = 6,040.8 cm³

In this case, given the chemical reaction:

[tex]3NaOH(aq)+Fe(NO_3)_3(aq)\rightarrow 3NaNO_3(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)[/tex]

In such a way, given the volumes and molarities of each reactant, we can compute the moles of produced iron (III) hydroxide by each of them, via the 3:1 and 1:1 mole ratios:

[tex]n_{Fe(OH)_3}^{by\ NaOH}=0.0500L*0.500\frac{molNaOH}{L}*\frac{1molFe(OH)_3}{3molNaOH} =0.00833molFe(OH)_3\\\\n_{Fe(OH)_3}^{by\ Fe(NO_3)_3}=0.0750L*0.200\frac{molFe(NO_3)_3}{L}*\frac{1molFe(OH)_3}{1molFe(NO_3)_3} =0.0150molFe(OH)_3[/tex]

It means that the sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant and 0.00833 moles of iron (III) hydroxide are produced; thus, the required mass is:

[tex]m_{Fe(OH)_3}=0.00833molFe(OH)_3*\frac{106.87gFe(OH)_3}{1molFe(OH)_3} \\\\m_{Fe(OH)_3} = 0.891gFe(OH)_3[/tex]

Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C, and it's known the usual percent yield of C in this reaction is 72.%. Suppose 3.5g of A are reacted with excess Compound B, and 6.5g of Compound C are successfully isolated at the end of the reaction.
A. What was the theoretical vield of C?
B. How much B was consumed by the reaction?

Answers

Answer:

A. Theoretical yield of C is 9.03 g

B. Mass of B consumed is 5.53 g

Explanation:

A. Determination of the theoretical yield of C.

Actual yield of C = 6.5 g

Percentage yield of C = 72.%

Theoretical yield of C =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100

72% = 6.5 / Theoretical yield

72 / 100 = 6.5 / Theoretical yield

Cross multiply

72 × Theoretical yield = 100 × 6.5

72 × Theoretical yield = 650

Divide both side by 72

Theoretical yield = 650 / 72

Theoretical yield = 9.03 g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of C is 9.03 g

B. Determination of the mass of B consumed.

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

A + B —> C

Mass of A = 3.5 g

Mass of C = 9.03 g

Mass of B =?

A + B = C

3.5 + B = 9.03

Collect like terms

B = 9.03 – 3.5

B = 5.53 g

Thus, the mass of B consumed in the reaction is 5.53 g

Assuming that only the listed gases are present, what would be the mole fraction of oxygen gas be for each of the following situations?

A gas sample of 2.31 atm of oxygen gas and 3.75 atm of hydrogen gas that react to form water vapor. Assume the volume of the container and the temperature inside the container does not change.​

Answers

The mole fraction of oxygen gas : 0.381

Further explanation

Given

2.31 atm Oxygen

3.75 atm Hydrogen

Required

The mole fraction of Oxygen

Solution

Dalton Law's of partial pressure

P tot = P₁ + P₂ + ..Pₙ

Input the value :

P tot = P O₂ + P H₂

P tot = 2.31 atm + 3.75 atm

P tot = 6.06 atm

The mole fraction of O₂ (X O₂):

P O₂ = X O₂ x P tot

X O₂ = P O₂ / P tot

X O₂ = 2.31 /6.06

X O₂ = 0.381

The mole fraction of oxygen gas in the given mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas is 0.381.

How do we calculate mole fraction?

If the details is present in terms of partial pressure then by using the below equation, we can calculate the mole fraction as:

p = (x)(P), where

p = partial pressure

P = total pressure

x = mole fraction

Total pressure of the mixture will be calculated by adding the partial pressure of oxygen and hydrogen gases as:

P = 2.31 + 3.75 = 6.06 atm

Now mole fraction of oxygen will be calculated as:

x = 2.31 / 6.06 = 0.381

Hence mole fraction of oxygen is 0.381.

A. A student was given an unknown sample of a pure metal to identify. Its mass was 116
g. He determined that 511 J of energy raised the temperature of the sample from 21.6°C
to 40.5°C. Based on his measurements, what kind of metal was the sample? (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

Silver

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 116g

Energy  = 511J

Initial temperature  = 21.6°C

Final temperature  = 40.5°C

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity and the type of metal = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the specific heat capacity of the metal given,

         H  = m x c x Ф  

H is the energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

        511  = 116 x c x (40.5 - 21.6)

         511  = 2192.4c

           c  = 0.233J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of silver is similar to this.

Answer:

READ THE EXPLAINATION

Explanation:

It says show your work.

40.5°C – 21.6°C = 18.9°C

So, the metal was raised 18.9 deg Celsius.  

It took 511 J of energy to raise the metal 18.9 deg Celsius.

511/ 18.9 = 27.03  

It takes 27.03 J to raise 116 g of the metal 1 degree.    

27.03/116 = .233

It takes .233 J to raise 1 gram of the metal 1 degree.

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the metal is .233 J

According to the Specific heat values table, Silver has a specific heat capacity of .233.

The metal is silver.

The density of toluene (C7H8) is 0.867 g/mL, and the density of thiophene (C4H4S) is 1.065 g/mL. A solution is made by dissolving 8.10 g of thiophene in 250.0 mL of toluene.
(a) Calculate the mole fraction of thiophene in the solution.
(b) Calculate the molality of thiophene in the solution.
(c) Assuming that the volumes of the solute and solvent are additive, what is the molarity of thiophene in the solution?

Answers

Considering the solution of mole fraction, molality and molarity, you obtain that:

(a) the mole fraction of thiophene in the solution is 0.039.

(b) the molality of thiophene in the solution 0.4429 [tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex].

(c)  the molarity of thiophene in the solution is 0.373[tex]\frac{moles}{L}[/tex].

You know that:

Density toluene (C₇H₈)= 0.867 [tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex]Density thiophene (C₄H₄S)= 1.065 [tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex] Volume of toluene (C₇H₈)= 250 mL= 0.250 L (being 1000 mL= 1 L)Mass of thiophene (C₄H₄S)= 8.10 grams

(a) Mole fraction

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

Being the molar mass of each compound equals to:

Toluene (C₇H₈)= 92 [tex]\frac{g}{mol}[/tex]Thiophene (C₄H₄S)= 84 [tex]\frac{g}{mol}[/tex]

the number of moles of each compound can be calculated as:

Toluene (C₇H₈)= [tex]250 mLx\frac{0.867 grams}{1 mL} x \frac{1 mole}{92 grams}[/tex]= 2.35 molesThiophene (C₄H₄S)= [tex]8.10 gramsx\frac{1 mole}{84 grams}[/tex]= 0.096 moles

The total moles is obtained from the addition of the moles of the solute (C₄H₄S) and the solvent (C₇H₈):

total moles = moles C₄H₄S + moles C₇H₈ = 0.096 moles + 2.35 moles = 2.45 moles

Then, the mole fraction of thiophene in the solution can be calculated as:

[tex]mole fraction of thiophene=\frac{0.096 moles}{2.45 moles}[/tex]

Solving:

mole fraction of thiophene= 0.039

Finally, the mole fraction of thiophene in the solution is 0.039.

(b) Molality

Molality is the ratio of the number of moles of any dissolved solute to kilograms of solvent.

The Molality of a solution is determined by the expression:

[tex]Molality=\frac{number of moles of solute}{kilograms of solvent}[/tex]

In this case, you know:

number of moles of solute (C₄H₄S)= 0.096 moles Mass of solvent = [tex]250 mLx\frac{0.867 grams}{1 mL}[/tex] = 216.75 g = 0.21675 kg (being 1000 g=1 kg)  

Replacing:

[tex]Molality C_{4} H_{4}S =\frac{0.096 moles}{0.21675 kg}[/tex]

molality C₄H₄S= 0.4429 [tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]

Finally, the molality of thiophene in the solution 0.4429 [tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex].

(c) Molarity

Molarity is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume and is determined by the following expression:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}[/tex]

Assuming that the volumes of solute and solvent are additive, you can add the volume of C₄H₄S and C₇H₈.

But first, you need yo know the volume of C₄H₄S, which can be calculated from the mass and density:

[tex]Volume C_{4} H_{4}S =8.10 grams\frac{1 mL}{1.065 grams}[/tex]= 7.606 mL= 0.007606 L

Then, the total volume of the solution is calculated as:

total volume of the solution= volume C₇H₈ + volume C₄H₄S

total volume of the solution= 0.250 L + 0.007606 L = 0.257606 L

So, the molarity of thiophene in the solution can be calculated as:

[tex]Molarity C_{4} H_{4} S=\frac{number of moles of C_{4} H_{4} S}{totalvolumeof the solution}[/tex]

Replacing:

[tex]Molarity C_{4} H_{4} S=\frac{0.096 moles}{0.257606 L}[/tex]

Solving:

Molarity C₄H₄S= 0.373 [tex]\frac{moles}{L}[/tex]

Finally, the molarity of thiophene in the solution is 0.373[tex]\frac{moles}{L}[/tex].

In summary, you get:

(a) the mole fraction of thiophene in the solution is 0.039.

(b) the molality of thiophene in the solution 0.4429 [tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex].

(c)  the molarity of thiophene in the solution is 0.373[tex]\frac{moles}{L}[/tex].
