Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: Metamorphic rocks are formed when a sedimentary or igneous rocks undergoes changes due to the variation in the temperature and the pressure conditions. This are also considered as the secondary rocks as they are directly derived from a pre-existing rock. For example, Slate, Phyllite, Schist, Gneiss and Marble.

It makes up about 10-15 % of the total rocks on the earth's surface. The high grade rocks belongs to the metamorphic rocks.

The rocks undergoes metamorphism in the following types, namely-

  1. Contact metamorphism- When metamorphism occurs because of the intruding magma under the crust. For example- Hornfels.
  2. Local metamorphism- When metamorphism occurs over a large area, including the tectonic plates. For example- Gneiss.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Nitrous acid, hno2, has a ka of 7. 1 ✕ 10-4. what are [h3o ], [no2-], and [oh -] in 0. 40 m hno2?
romanna [79]

Nitrous acid, hno2, has an acid dissociation constant - ka of 7. 1 ✕ 10-4. what are [h3o ], [no2-], and [oh -] in 0. 40 m hno2 - 4829 M [OH^-] = 1.439 x 10^-14 M

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is used to differentiate between strong and weak acids. Strong acids have very high Ka values. The Ka value is determined by examining the equilibrium constant for acid dissociation. The acid dissociates more readily as the Ka increases.

The original molecular definition of an acid, according to Arrhenius, is a molecule that dissociates in an aqueous solution, releasing the hydrogen ion H+ (a proton): HA A + H+. acid dissociation constant is an equilibrium constant for this dissociation reaction.

Why is 15 m acetic acid an appropriate solvent in which to perform rate studies of electrophilic bromintations?.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Acetic acid activates the bromine and makes it a better electrophile.

<h3>What is bromination?</h3>

When a substance undergoes bromination, bromine is added to the compound as a result of the chemical reaction. After bromination, the result will have different properties from the initial reactant.

<h3>Why is 15M acetic acid used as a solvent for bromination?</h3>

DCM (dichloromethane) requires more time. Acetic acid has protons that can give one of the Br (bromine) a positive charge and activate it. There is a brief loss of aromaticity that calls for high energy activation.

Refer to the attached image for bromination reaction.
