ll of the following cause mechanical weathering EXCEPT ____. a. ice c. burrowing animals b. tree roots d. carbonic acid

1 answer:

4 0

All of the following cause mechanical weathering EXCEPT d. carbonic acid, which causes chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is defined as a physical process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through movement, abrasion, pressure, and temperature changes. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, makes use of chemical reactions to break down rocks.

The following equilibrium is formed when copper and bromide ions are placed in a solution:

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

1. Reaction will shift rightwards towards the products.

2. It will turn green.

3. The solution will be cooler..

B) It will turn green.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the stated equilibrium:

$heat + Cu(H_2O)_6 ^{+2} (blue) + 4Br^- \rightleftharpoons 6H_2O + CuBr_4^{-2} (green)$

In such a way, by thinking out the Le Chatelier's principle, we can answer to each question:

1. If potassium bromide, which adds bromide ions, is added more reactant is being added to the solution, therefore, the reaction will shift rightwards towards the products.

2. The formation of the green complex is favored, therefore, it will turn green.

3. The solution will be cooler as heat is converted into "cold" in order to reestablish equilibrium.

B) In this case, as the heat is a reactant, if more heat is added, more products will be formed, which implies that it will turn green.

Regards.

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.

hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

A helium filled ballon had a volume of 8.50 L on the ground at 20.0 C and a pressure of 750.0 Torr. After the ballon was release

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$V_2=12.1L$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the given data of volume, pressure and temperature, it is possible to infer this problem can be solved via the combined gas law:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Thus, regarding the question, we evidence we need V2, but first we make sure the temperatures are in Kelvins:

$T_1=20+273=293K\\\\T_2=-40+273=233K$

Then, we obtain:

$V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}\\\\V_2=\frac{0.987atm*8.50L*233K}{293K*0.550atm}\\\\V_2=12.1L$

Best regards!

The average distance between molecules always increases during which of the following phase changes?

vodomira [7]

Answer:

B. liquid to gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in 3 different states:

- Solid: in solids, particles in the substance are tightly bond to each other through strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, they can only vibrate around their fixed position, but they cannot move freely: as a result, the distance between the particles is the smallest among the 3 states of matter.

- Liquid: in a liquid, particles are able to slide past each other, however there are still intermolecular forces keeping them not too far from each other. As a result, in liquids, particles are on average more distance from each other compared to solids.

- Gas: in a gas, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible. As a result, in gases, the distance between molecules is the greatest, compared with solids and liquids.

Therefore, the phase changes in which the average distance between molecules increases is:

B. liquid to gas
