Which agents cause both chemical and physical weathering

1 answer:

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.

How many grams of oxygen are required too burn 8.8g of c3h8?

hichkok12 [17]

From the balanced equation:
1mol C3H8 requires 5mol O2 for combustion 
Molar mass C3H8 = 44g/mol 
8.8g C3H8 = 8.8/44 = 0.2mol C3H8 
This will require 5*0.2 = 1.0mol O2 
Molar mass O2 = 32g/mol 
Therefore 32g of O2 required.

Lithium reacts with bromine (Br2) in a synthesis reaction to produce lithium bromide. Determine the limiting reactant if 25.0 gr

Lunna [17]

Answer: Bromine is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

First of all let's generate a balanced equation for the reaction

2Li + Br2 —> 2LiBr

Molar Mass of Li = 7g/mol

Molar Mass of Br2 = 2x80 = 160g/mol

From the question given, were told that 25g of Li and 25g Br2 were present at the take-off of the reaction. Converting these Masses to mole, we have:

Number of mole of Li = 25/7 = 3.6moles

Number of mole of Br2 = 25/160 = 0.156mol.

To know which is the limiting reactant, we have to compare the ratio of the number of mole of experimental Li and Br2 to that of theoretical Li and Br2

For the experimental yield:

Li : Br2 = 3.6/ 0.156 = 23 : 1

For the theoretical yield:

Li : Br = 2 : 1

From the above, we see clear that Br2 is the limiting reactant because according to the equation( which gives the theoretical yield), for every 2moles of Li, 1mole of Br2 is used up. But this is not so from the experiment conducted as 23moles required 1mole of Br2.

Which of the following contains the same number of electrons as an atom of neon?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

D. $O^{2-}$

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Oxygen has a total number of eight (8) electrons and as such the $O^{2-}$ is able to gain (receive) two (2) more electrons in order to have the same electron arrangements as the noble gas i.e an atom of neon that has a total number of ten (10) electrons.

Hence, $O^{2-}$ contains the same number of electrons as an atom of neon.
