Which of the following is an example of mechanical weathering

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is A-Gravity. Why? This is because B and C are examples of chemical weathering and not mechanical. Although choice D may seem viable lava intrusion is not a direct cause of mechanical weathering although lava pushing upward may help in aiding mechanical weathering it would not be considered a big enough cause, thus gravity is the correct answer.

explain why the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen gas molecule form nonpolar covalent bonds but oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water mo

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2
