The characteristic of water that is responsible for frost wedging is that it expands as it freezes and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Frost wedging?</h3>

This is referred to a type of physical weathering  which is characterized by rocks being broken down into smaller particles through the freezing and thawing process.

This is possible because water is known to expand as it freezes thereby resulting in the expansion of the rocks which forms cracks as a result of frequent freezing and thawing processes.

This is therefore the most appropriate characteristic of water which makes it possible for frost wedging to take place.

Describe the major types of bodies of water
Alina [70]
<h2>Answer and Explanation </h2>

The body of water means the occurrence of water on earth’s surface. Examples are oceans,  lakes,  seas, ponds, and pools. The major bodies of water are:

  • Pacific ocean is the biggest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the direction to the Southern Ocean.
  • Atlantic ocean is another giant of the world's oceans.  It includes nearly 20 percent of the Earth's exterior and nearly 29 percent of its water covering space.
  • The Indian Ocean is the third largest Ocean in the world. It is surrounded by Asia, Africa, and Australia.
  • Arctic ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five main oceans.
  • Mediterranean sea is a sea is attached to the Atlantic Ocean.

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high <u>electronegativity</u> as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an <u>inductive effect</u>. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be <u>weaker</u> and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion H^+).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have <u>2 Br atoms</u> near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have <u>more acidity</u>. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the <u>position</u> of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a <u>higher inductive effect</u> and more <u>acidity</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

What are transferred in an oxidation-reduction reaction (1 point)?
madreJ [45]
electrons are transferred    in a oxidation-reduction  reaction

oxidation reduction  chemical equation involve  electrons  transfer   between  two species. In this reduction-oxidation type of chemical equation    oxidation  number of   molecule, atoms or ion  changes  by  gaining or losing  electrons,that is there  an oxidizing  agent and a  reducing agent  in the reaction.
