Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering
An anion has a negative charge, while a cation has a positive charge.
Sharing of two electrons make a <u>Covalent </u>bond.
<u>Explanation: </u>
Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.
It is also named as molecular bond, a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.
If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.
C₄H₉OH + HBr = C₄H₉Br + H2O
Δmole of alcohol gives 1 mole of bromobutanol
HBr is in excess, so the yield of the product is limited by the alcohol
Wt. of 1 butanol = 18
Molar mass of the butanol = 74.12 g/mole
Moles of the alcohol = 1/74.12 = 0.01349 moles
So, moles of bromobutane = 0.01349 moles
Molar mass of C₄H₉Br = 137.018 g/moles
So, theoretical mass of bromobutane is = 0.01349 × 137.0.18
= 1.85 g
For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both.
Answer:
Erosion
Explanation:
The blowing away of the top layer of the soil at a Michigan farm is best described as scenario that shows wind erosion.
Erosion is the removal of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows. In short is the washing away of soil by stream or blowing away by wind.
When soil is blow away, it is a pure case of erosion. The process of erosion usually follows weathering or sometime occurs together with it.
Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.
Often times, the process of weathering and erosion occurs together. It is loose weathering products that are carried away during erosion.
In the soil layer at Michigan, the process of erosion by wind is current taking place by ablation.
