C according to Earth's existing magnetic field

Explanation:

When new basalt forms along mid ocean ridges, they become magnetized according to the the earth's existing magnetic field. The magnetic minerals in basalt will align in the direction of the prevailing geomagnetic field of the earth.

  • The earth is like a bar magnet due to the magnetic field being produced by the movement of molten metallic materials in the outer core.
  • The effect of the magnetic field is felt globally as new magma are brought to the surface.
  • Magnetic minerals for example in basalt will align their domains in the direction of the existing or prevailing field.
  • This is used in studying paleomagnetism of a rock.

If a 500 ml sample of water contains 2.6 x 10-6 g of iron, what is the concentration of iron in ppb?
Anastasy [175]

The concentration of iron in ppb is 5.2 ppb

In atmospheric chemistry, PPM( parts per million) and PPB( parts per billion) units are used to express the concentration of gases. PPB stands for parts per billion, while PPM stands for parts of gas per million parts of air.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams of iron in 500 ml of water.

Now, converting milliliter into liter:

500 mL = 500 mL × ( 1L / 1000 mL ) = 0.5 L

Now for ppm, mass must be in mg.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams = 2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams × ( 1000 mg / 1 grams ) = 2.6 × 10⁻³ mg

Then, the concentration of iron in ppm will be:

2.6 × 10⁻³ mg / 0.5 L = 5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm

Now, 1 ppm = 1000 ppb

Therefore,

5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm × 10³ = 5.2 ppb

When a piece of zinc metal is carefully placed in a beaker of strong acid, bubbles form on the surface of the metal and begin to
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A.  a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

   Zn         +      2HCl      →    ZnCl₂     +     H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.

an atom has an atomic number of 9 a mass number of 19 and an electron configuration of 2-6-1 explain why the number of electrons
sukhopar [10]
You can tell that the atom is in the excited state because:

- Electron configuration should follow the 2-8-8-2 rule, meaning that the inner shell should be filled before the next shell can start holding electrons.

- Instead of the atom's electron configuration being in the ground state at 2-8-8-1, electrons from the second shell have jumped to the third.
