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 sample of an ionic compound that is often used as a dough conditioner is analyzed and found to contain 4.628 g of potassium, 9
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound is = KBrO_3

The name of the compound is potassium bromate.

Explanation:

Mass of potassium = 4.628 g

Moles of potassium = \frac{4.628 g}{39 g/mol}=0.1187 mol

Mass of bromine = 9.457 g

Moles of bromine = \frac{9.457 g}{80 g/mol}=0.1182 mol

Mass of oxygen = 5.681 g

Moles of oxygen = \frac{5.681 g}{16 g/mol}0.3551

For empirical formula of the compound, divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements present in the compound:

Potassium :

\frac{0.1187 mol}{0.1182 mol}=1.0

Bromine;

\frac{0.1182 mol}{0.1182 mol}=1.0

Oxygen ;

\frac{0.3551 mol}{0.1182 mol}=3.0

The empirical formula of the compound is = KBrO_3

The name of the compound is potassium bromate.

A lack of diversity in a population could possibly cause (2 points)
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The answer is C, Extinction.

If there was no diversity then a single sickness could wipe out a whole population, but if the population was more varied theres a higher chance someone is more resistant to the sickness and could carry on the species life

What mass of al is required to completely react with 25.0 grams of mno2?
horsena [70]
Mass of MnO2 = 25 g 
The reaction would be 3MnO2 + 4Al --> 3Mn(s) + 2Al2O3
 Molar mass of Al = 26.982 g/mol
 Molar mass of MnO2 = 54.938 + 2(15.999) = 86.936 g/mol
 Calculating the moles = 25 / 86.936 = 0.2876 mol.
 Mole ratio MnO2 and Al considering the equation = 3 mol of MnO : 4 mol of Al
 Calculating the moles of Al = 0.2876 mol MnO2 x (4 mol of Al / 3 mol of MnO)
 Number of moles of Al = 0.3834
 Getting the mass in grams as asked = 0.3834 mol x 26.982 g/mol = 10.34 grams.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

All three lighter boron trihalides, BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br), form stable adducts with common Lewis bases. Their relative Lewis acidities can be evaluated in terms of the relative exothermicities of the adduct-forming reaction. Such measurements have revealed the following sequence for the Lewis acidity: BF3 < BCl3 < BBr3 (in other words, BBr3 is the strongest Lewis acid).

This trend is commonly attributed to the degree of π-bonding in the planar boron trihalide that would be lost upon pyramidalization (the conversion of the trigonal planar geometry to a tetrahedral one) of the BX3 molecule, which follows this trend: BF3 > BCl3 > BBr3 (that is, BBr3 is the most easily pyramidalized). The criteria for evaluating the relative strength of π-bonding are not clear, however. One suggestion is that the F atom is small compared to the larger Cl and Br atoms, and the lone pair electron in the 2pzorbital of F is readily and easily donated, and overlaps with the empty 2pz orbital of boron. As a result, the [latex]\pi[/latex] donation of F is greater than that of Cl or Br. In an alternative explanation, the low Lewis acidity for BF3 is attributed to the relative weakness of the bond in the adducts F3B-L.
