Why could weathering and erosion be a bad thing?

Chemistry
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago
3 0

The can lead to mass wasting

Explanation:

Weathering and erosion can be a bad thing because they can lead or trigger mass wasting.

  • Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
  • Erosion is the washing away of weathered materials.
  • Mass-wasting is the movement of materials down-slope under gravity.

  • Both weathering and erosion can lead to serious problems like mass-wasting because they are earth moving processes.
  • Weathering can lead to the formation of sinkholes in an area where rocks are decomposed chemically.
  • Erosion can wash away top fertile layer of soil and makes them bare. This can lead to drought.
  • Rock fall can be initiated when rocks physically disintegrate.
  • Chemical weathering can lead to rust and destruction of structures.
  • Undercutting of structures by erosion can lead to the collapse of bridges.

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Digiron [165]

Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.

Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).

Another example:

Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99
4vir4ik [10]
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them. 

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
