Answer: Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition.  

Chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the Earth's surface.

55.2 mL of 0.500 M potassium hydroxide is used to neutralize 27.4 mL of sulfuric
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

0.504 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization reaction

2 KOH + H₂SO₄ ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of KOH

55.2 mL (0.0552 L) of 0.500 M KOH react. The reacting moles of KOH are:

0.0552 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0276 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂SO₄ that reacted with 0.0276 moles of KOH

The molar ratio of KOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1. The reacting moles of H₂SO₄ are 1/2 × 0.0276 mol = 0.0138 mol

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of H₂SO₄

0.0138 moles of H₂SO₄ are in 27.4 mL (0.0274 L). The molarity of H₂SO₄ is:

[H₂SO₄] = 0.0138 mol/0.0274 L = 0.504 M

Use the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) to answer the following questions
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) If N₂(g) and 3H₂(g) is added to the system , 2 moles of additional  ammonia will be produced .

b ) If pressure is decreased , less amount of ammonia will be formed, because forward reaction reduces the pressure. So, reaction will take place in reverse direction.

c ) Keq = [ NH₃ ] ² / [ N₂ ] [ H₂]³

d ) Substituting the given values in the equation ,

Keq = [ 6M ] ² / [ 3M] [ 4M]³

= 36 / 3 x 64 M⁻²

= 18.75 x 10⁻² M⁻² .

In general, ionization energies increase across a period from left to right. Explain why the second ionization energy of Cr is h
rodikova [14]

Answer:So this leads to the fact that second ionization energy  of chromium is higher as compared to that of Manganese because of the unavailability of electron in the outermost orbital in case of chromium so the second electron has to be removed form the stable half filled 3d  orbital which requires more energy. Whereas in case of Manganese there is an electron available in outermost 4s orbital.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the amount of energy that we require to remove an electron form an isolated gaseous atom.

As we move from left to right across a period electrons are added to the same outermost shell therefore the attraction between the electrons and nucleus increases since more number of negatively charged electron are attracted to the positively charged nucleus.  This attraction leads to the decrease in atomic radii across a period and increase in ionization energy .

The increase in ionization energy occurs due to the fact that as the attraction  between the nucleus and outermost electrons increases so the electrons are more tightly bound to the nucleus hence more amount of energy is required to ionize the electron which leads to increase in ionization energy.

The electronic configuration of Cr and Mn are:

Cr:[Ar]3d⁵4S¹

Mn:[Ar]3d⁵4S²

The electronic configuration of Cr and Mn after 1st ionization:

Cr:[Ar]3d⁵4S⁰

Mn:[Ar]3d⁵4S¹

The electronic configuration of Cr and Mn after 2nd ionization:

Cr:[Ar]3d⁴4S⁰

Mn:[Ar]3d⁵4S⁰

As we can see that that 3d orbital of Cr (Chromium) is half filled with 5 electrons in it  and 4s orbital of Cr is also half-filled.

So when Cr is ionized for the first time then the electron from the half-filled 4s orbital will be removed .As the 1 electron present in outer most 4s orbital is removed so the 4s orbital now is completely vacant.

Now for the second ionization energy an electron ahs to be removed from half-filled 3d⁵ orbital. Hunds rule of maximum multiplicity states that the fully-filled or half-filled orbitals have maximum stability on account of symmetry and exchange energy.

So half-filled 3d⁵ orbital of Cr is very stable and hence to remove an electron from this would be require a lot of energy and hence the second ionization energy of chromium is higher than that of Manganese.

In case of Mn  the 3d orbital is also half -filled as chromium but the 4s orbital contains two electrons. when we remove the first electron from this orbital then also there is 1 electron present in the 4s orbital . So for the second ionization of Mn the only electron left in 4s orbital will be removed as the removal of electron from a 4s orbital is much easier as it requires less amount of energy as compared to  removal of  a electron from stable half filled 3d orbital.

So this leads to the fact that second ionization energy  of chromium is higher as compared to that of Manganese because of the unavailability of electron in the outermost orbital in case of chromium so the second electron has to be removed form the stable half filled 3d  orbital which requires more energy. Whereas in case of Manganese there is an electron available in outermost 4s orbital.

A candle slowly burns until the last bit of wax and wick are gone. The two reactants in this chemical reaction are the wick and
NemiM [27]

Only the oxygen part of the atmosphere participates in the burning of candle wax.

When the candle is burning, the wick burns and the heat generated from burning melts the wax. The liquid wax serves as a fuel that sustains the burning of the wick.

The candle wax is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon compounds are generally known to burn is oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Thus, the candle wax burns in the oxygen component of the air to produce carbon dioxide and water as by-products. All other components of air do not participate in the system.
