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.

What is the mass of 3.8 × 10^24 atoms of argon (ar)? 0.0039 g 0.16 g 6.3 g 250 g
ale4655 [162]
Atomic mass Ar => 39.948 a.m.u

39.948 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
?? g -------------------- 3.8x10²⁴ atoms

(3.8x10²⁴) x 39.948 / 6.02x10²³ => 250 g

hope this helps!

2. A reaction vessel is charged with hydrogen iodide, which partially decomposes to molecular hydrogen and iodine:2HI (g) H2(g)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is established when there are two opposite reactions that take place simultaneously at the same speed.

For the general chemical equation for a homogeneous gas phase system:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of compounds A, B, C and D, the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

Kp=\frac{P_{C} ^{c} *P_{D} ^{d} }{P_{A} ^{a} *P_{B} ^{b} }

Where Px is the partial pressure of each of the components once equilibrium has been reached and they are expressed in atmospheres. The equilibrium constant Kp depends solely on temperature and is dimensionless.

In the case of the reaction:

2 HI (g) ⇔ H₂ (g) + I₂ (g)

the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

Kp=\frac{P_{H_{2} } *P_{I_{2} } }{P_{HI} ^{2} }

The system comes to equilibrium at 425 °C, and

  • PHI = 0.794 atm
  • PH2 = 0.0685 atm
  • PI2 = 0.0685 atm

Replacing:

Kp=\frac{0.0685*0.0685}{0.794^{2} }

Kp=7.44*10⁻³

<u><em>The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³</em></u>
