You find apiece of limestone on ahike. what substances are likely to have formed that rock?

Chemistry

Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!

Which of the following sets represents a pair of isotopes?
son4ous [18]
The correct option is A,
Isotopes are atoms of an element, which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Thus, isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number.
Looking at the options given above, you will discover that Chlorine which is given in option A is correct. Both type of chlorine has the same atomic number, which is 17, but they have different atomic masses, the atomic mass of the first one is 35 while that of the second one is 37.<span />

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!! PLEASE HELP ME :)

Answer:

Double replacement

Precipitation reaction

Explanation:

You have the reaction:

         REACTANTS                          PRODUCTS

BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)

The general form of a double replacement reaction is the following:

AB + CD ⇒ CD + AB

The reactants basically, exchanged partners. In the case of your problem, Barium(Ba) and Sodium(Na) switched places. So this makes it a double-replacement reaction.

Now how do I know it is a precipitation reaction. A precipitation reaction occurs when two solutions combine and salt is formed. Salt is solid, so how do I know that's what occured? Look at your equation again:

BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)

aq means aqueous (liquid)

s means solid

If you look at the product formed in the reaction, from two solutions, it formed a solid. So this is your clue as to why it is a precipitation reaction.

In the periodic table hydrogen is placed in Group 1A (group 1) and helium is placed in Group 8A (group 18). The most likely reas
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because of the absence of options. However, hydrogen is placed in group 1 because it has just one electron in it's outermost shell (which happens to be the only shell it has) just like every other group 1A/group 1 element. While helium is placed in group 8A/group 18 because it has a completely filled outermost shell (which is also the only shell it has) just like every other element in group 8A/group 18.
