Most metamorphic processes takes place few kilometers below the Earth's surface. Thus, "metamorphic rocks" are formed under conditions found few kilometers under the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction of sediments. Two main groups of sedimentary rocks are clastic sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphism refers to the changes in the mineral composition of the rocks. The three agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure and water.
The conversion of one form of rock to another is referred as rock cycle. In a rock cycle, an igneous rock formed from the deposition of molten magma can get converted into sedimentary rock when igneous rock breaks down into pieces and sediments. Finally, the any sedimentary rock or igneous rock can undergo metamorphosis to form metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rock can again form igneous rock by melting of magma followed by crystallization.

A gas is at an original pressure of 412 torr and a temperature of 79°C. What is the new temperature of the gas (in K) if the pre
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Whenever you are doing calculations with gases and temperature, you must convert the temperature from C into Kelvin. Then, just plug in your values and do the calculation. So, for the first one,

32C + 273 = 305 K

63C + 273 = 336 K

Then, P1/T1 = P2/T2

575 torr / 305 K = P2 / 336 K

P2 = 633 torr

For the second one:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

575/305 = 5750 / T2

T2 = 3050 K

The NH₄⁺ ion forms acidic solutions, and the CH₃COO⁻ ion forms basic solutions. However, a solution of ammonium acetate is almos
tigry1 [53]

Not always ammonium salts of weak acids form neutral solutions.

When formic acid reacts with ammonia, ammonium formate is produced:

HCO2H + NH3 ---->  NH4HCO2

You already know that the weak conjugate bases of NH3 and HCO2H are NH4+ and HCO2, respectively.

How can the pH of the solution be calculated if the salt's anion causes the pH to rise and the salt's cation causes it to fall? The relative intensities of the basic anion and the acidic cation hold the key to the solution.

As was already established, formate is a weak base and will create hydroxide ions in water, whereas ammonium is a weak acid and will make hydronium ions in water.

NH4⁺ + H2O -----> NH3 + H3O⁺

HCO2⁻ + H2O ----->  HCO2H + OH⁻

Since the acid ionization of NH4+ is more favored than the base ionization of HCO2-, the solution will be acidic.

How do different bridge designs react to strong winds?
nasty-shy [4]
Depending on how the design is, The bridge will sway, bounce, or move in some way. If the bridge was too stiff the winds would destroy the bridge and cause it to crumble and fall :)
