Answer is: synthesis.
Chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.
Synthesis is type of reaction where two or more compounds (in this reaction barium and fluorine) react to form one product (in this reaction BaF₂).
BaF₂ - barium fluoride, salt, <span>white cubic crystals, soluble in methanol and ethanol.</span>
The following is the introduction to a special e-publication called Determining the Age of the Earth (click the link to see a table of contents). Published earlier this year, the collection draws articles from the archives of Scientific American. In the collection, this introduction appears with the title, “Stumbling Toward an Understanding of Geologic Timescales.”
Weathering is the physical or chemical process where rocks are
broken down to form sediments.
• Physical weathering does not change the rock’s composition.
• Chemical weathering does change the rock’s composition
• Erosion is the process where forces such as water, wind, ice, or gravity
transport sediments to some remote location
Answer:
t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds
Explanation:
First order rate constant is given as,
k = (2.303
/t) log [A₀]
/[Aₙ]
where [A₀] is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>
[A₀] = 615 calories;
[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories
k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹
substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;
2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)
(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)
t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰
t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds
