Answer:

Dunes are loose sand hills.

Loess is a compacted wind-blown formation of sediment.

Explanation:

Sand dunes are, as their name implies, made of sand which is itself made of tiny quartz pieces. Sand dunes are present where there is a ready source of broken down sandstone or other type of rock and wind to transport the sand. The dunes are mobile and loose and migrate over time.

Loess comes in vast formations and was created in a very different way. In the last ice age, winds from the north carried sediments loosened and ground by glaciers southwards. There, the sediments accumulated in large formations and became compacted over time.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

0.32M

Explanation:

Step 1: Balance the reaction

K2CO3 + Ba(NO3)2 ⇔ KNO3 + BaCO3

We have a 20 mL 0.2 M K2CO3 and a 30mL 0.4M Ba(NO3)2 solution

SinceK2CO3 is the limiting reactant, there will remain Ba(NO3)2 after it's consumed and produced KNO3 + BaCO3

Step 2: Calculate concentration

To find the concentration of the barium cation we use the following equation:

Concentration = moles of the solute / volumen of the solution

[Ba2+] = (20 * 10^-3 * 0.2M + 30 * 10^-3 * 0.4M) / ( 20 + 30mL) *10^-3

[Ba2+] = 0.32 M

The concentration of Barium ion in solution is 0.32 M

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$Cs^+$

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs, because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

$Cs^+$
