Which agents cause both chemical and physical weathering

Chemistry
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
8 0
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by either physical or chemical means. Physical weathering involves physical factors that cause mechanical break down of rocks while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between the contents of the rocks and other factors such air (oxygen). Agents of weathering are the factors that cause or enhance both physical and chemical weathering. Some of these factors cause both physical and chemical weathering these includes water and temperature.

During nuclear decay, if the atomic number decreases by one but the mass number is unchanged, the radiation emitted is
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A beta particle

Explanation:

The radioactive particle must undergo a beta decay to have the mass number unchanged but the atomic number to have decreased by one.

This type of beta decay results in the emission of a positron which is a type of beta particle. It resembles an electron but it has a positive charge of 1.

1. Sulfuric acid is formed when sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas and water. Write a balanced chemical equation for the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1. Balanced chemical for the given chemical reaction is :

2SO_2(g) +O_2(g) +2H_2O(l) \rightarrow  2H_2SO_4(aq)

number of mole of sulphuric acid produced = 12.5 mol

number of mole of oxygen required=6.25 mol

Explanation:

1. Balanced chemical for the given chemical reaction is :

2SO_2(g) +O_2(g) +2H_2O(l) \rightarrow  2H_2SO_4(aq)

from above balanced equation it is clearly that ,

2 mole of sulpher dioxide gives 2 mole of sulphuric acid

1 mole of sulpher dioxide gives 1 mole of sulphuric acid

therefore,

12 .5 mole of sulpher dioxide will givs 12.5 mole of sulphuric acid

number of mole of sulphuric acid produced = 12.5 mol

2 mole of sulphur dioxide needs 1 mole of oxygen gas

so,

1 mole of sulphur dioxide needs 0.5 mole of oxygen gas

therefore 12.5 of sulphur dioxide needs 12.5 \times 0.5mole of oxygen

number of mole of oxygen required=6.25 mol

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N
