What needed to be present in marine mud to form fossil fuels?

1 answer:

8 0

When organisms and plants died and sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans, brown soil-like materials called peat are formed. Over millions of years, the peat became covered with sand, clay and other minerals and the peat is converted into layers of sedimentary rocks. After a long time, different type of fossil fuels are formed.

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.

Marrrta [24]

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

Explanation:

The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

Type of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

Chromium $(Cr)$

Cobaltous Chloride $(CoCl_2)$

Products formed in the reaction are -

Chromic Chloride $(CrCl_3)$

Cobalt $(Co)$

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

$Cr + CoCl_2$ → $CrCl_3 + Co$

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Maru [420]

Answer :

(a) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (+1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-3) and $1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion is, (-1) and $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

(a) The given element is, Rb (Rubidium)

As we know that the rubidium element belongs to group 1 and the atomic number is, 37

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^1$

This element will easily loose 1 electron and form $Rb^+$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Rb ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

(b) The given element is, N (Nitrogen)

As we know that the nitrogen element belongs to group 15 and the atomic number is, 7

The ground-state electron configuration of N is:

$1s^22s^22p^3$

This element will easily gain 3 electrons and form $N^{3-}$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of N ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^6$

(c) The given element is, Br (Bromine)

As we know that the bromine element belongs to group 17 and the atomic number is, 35

The ground-state electron configuration of Rb is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5$

This element will easily gain 1 electron and form $Br^-$ ion which attain stable noble gas electronic configuration.

The full ground-state electron configuration of Br ion is:

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the

musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost $20%$ % of it's value and it now currently at $ $$1039$ , we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8
