Most _______ rocks form under conditions found a few kilometers under earths surface

1 answer:

3 0

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.

When sugar is burned, water vapor and carbon dioxide are produced.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer;

12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Using a balanced chemical equation we can identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar.

CxHyOn + 12O₂ → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂

When an equation is completely balanced, then the number of each atom of an element is equal on the reactant side and the product side.

Therefore;

For carbon; x = 12

For Hydrogen; y = (11×2) = 22

For Oxygen; n + (12×2) = 11 + (12×2)

= n + 24 = 11 + 24

n = 11

Therefore the sugar has, 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Thus the balanced equation would be;

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂

5. _______ with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and _______ with the smallest atoms and the great

kogti [31]

We have to fill the gap

The correct answer is: Metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Reactivity of any species depends on ease of release or gain of electron. The species which can release electron easily from valence shell, the species is more reactive whereas the species which can accept electron to its valence shell easily is also more reactive.

How many grams of Aldol product can be produced from the complete reaction of 0.2 grams of vanillin with an excess of acetone in

Inga [223]

Answer:

There is 0.25 grams of C11H12O3 produced

Explanation:

Step1: Data given

vanillin = C8H8O3

Mass of vanillin = 0.2 grams

Molar mass of vanillin = 152.15 g/mol

Acetone = 58.08 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C8H8O3 + C3H6O → H2O + C11H12O3

Step 3: Calculate moles of C8H8O3

Moles C8H8O3 = mass / molar mass

Moles C8H8O3 = 0.2 grams / 152.15 g/mol

Moles C8H8O3 = 0.0013 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of C11H12O3

For 1 mol vanillin we need 1 mol acetone to produce 1 mol C11H12O3

Step 5: Calculate mass of C11H12O3

Mass C11H12O3 = moles * molar mass

Mass C11H12O3 = 0.0013 moles * 192.21 g/mol

Mass C11H12O3 = 0.25 grams

There is 0.25 grams of C11H12O3 produced
