Why wasn't oxidation type chemical weathering common more than 2 billion years ago?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

            Due to deficiency of Oxygen in atmosphere.

Explanation:

                   Oxidation is defined in two ways, 1) The addition of Oxygen and Removal of Hydrogen 2) The removal of electrons.

                   We will discuss the first definition for this question. The addition of oxygen to various compounds results in the oxidation of that compound.

Example: Oxidation of Methane;

                                   CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

In this example oxygen is added to methane and hydrogen is being removed from methane.

Oxidation type chemical weathering common more than 2 billion years ago because of less amount of Oxygen in atmosphere and the oxygen which was produced by plants reacted with different metals like Iron forming precipitates which precipitated to the bottom of oceans.

1. Consider the following properties of the atmosphere near the coast in Southern California: Average surface pressure: 1010 mba
dalvyx [7]

Answer: The average partial pressure of N_2 in the atmosphere is 77770 Pa.

Explanation

Raoult's Law states that the partial pressure of each component in the mixture is equal to the total pressure multiplied by its mole fraction. It is mathematically expressed as

p=\chi\times P  

where, p = partial pressure

\chi = mole fraction

P = total pressure

mole fraction of N_2 = \frac{\text {moles of} N_2}{\text {total moles}}=\frac{77.0}{77.0+20.7+1.4+0.9}=\frac{77.0}{100}=0.77

p_{N_2}=0.77\times 1010mbar=777.7mbar=77770Pa    

(1 mbar=100Pa)

Thus the average partial pressure of N_2 in the atmosphere is 77770 Pa

A student has two solutions of a substance;Solution-1:25M , 400ml and Solution-2:30M , 300M. What is the molarity of the final s
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The molarity of the final solution  is 1.7 M

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

First solution = 400 ml of 1.25 M

Second solution = 300 ml of 2.30 M

Therefore, we have;

First solution contains 400/1000 * 1.25 moles = 0.5 moles of the substance

Second solution contains 300/1000 * 2.30 moles = 0.69 moles of the

Hence the sum of the two solutions contains 0.5 + 0.69 = 1.19 moles of the substance

The volume of the sum of the two solutions = 400 ml + 300 ml = 700 ml

Hence we have the concentration of the final solution presented as follows;

700 ml contains 1.19 moles of the substance

Therefore;

1000 ml will contain 1000/700 * 1.19 = 1.7 moles

The molarity of the final solution = The number of moles per 1000 ml = 1.7 M.

How is the polarity of a bond different from the polarity of a molecule?
Andreyy89

Answer:

A polar bond is one where the charge distribution between the two atoms in the bond is unequal. A polar molecule is one where the charge distribution around the molecule is not symmetric. It results from having polar bonds and also a molecular structure where the bond polarities do not cancel.
