Answer:

Oxidation, acidification and hydrolisis.

Explanation:

Hello,

It is widely known that chemical weathering occurs when rocks undergo chemical reactions to yield different minerals. Water, acids, and oxygen are  chemical weathering promoters causing dramatic results over the time.

In the Antarctica, the following conditions would produce chemical weathering:

- Oxidation: is understood by formation of oxides when the rocks react with the environmental gaseous oxygen or the inner oxygen in water.

- Acidification: when oxides such as CO₂, NOₓ or SOₓ react with the water in the atmosphere, their corresponding acids are produced so when it rains they fall over the rocks creating sink holes and caves.

- Hydrolysis: it is caused when water dissolves minerals in a rock, producing different mineral compounds. For instance, feldspar crystals inside the granite react by hydrolysis, forming clay minerals which weakens the rock, making it more likely to break.

Best regards.

First, let's start off by finding the mass of this whole hydrate.
(Note: the unit of measurement for mass will be amu)

Let's find the molecular mass of each element.
Co=58.933
Cl=35.45
H=1.008
O=15.999

Now, let's find the mass of each compound.

CoCl_2=58.933+2(35.45)=129.833
H_2O=2(1.008)+15.999=18.015

We have 6 molecules of H2O, so multiply 18.015 by 6 then add that with the weight of CoCl2.

6(18.015)=108.09
129.833+108.09=237.923

Now divide 108.09 (mass of all the H2O in the hydrate) by 237.923 (total mass of hydrate).

\dfrac{108.09}{237.923}

\approx0.45431

Turn that into a percentage and you get 45.431%.
Hope this helps! :)

#6).
Every 1,000 mL makes 1 L
How many 1,000mL are there in  2,800 mL ?
That's division.
                         (2,800 mL) / (1,000 mL) = <em>2.8 L</em>

#7).
The 'perimeter' means the 'distance all the way around'.
You have to know that both sides of a rectangle are the same length,
and also the top and bottom are the same length.
So the perimeter of this rectangle is

   (2 yd) + (4.5 yd) + (2.yd) + (4.5 yd) = 13 yd .

Oops.  The problem wants to know the perimeter in feet.
So you have to know that each yard is the same as 3 feet.
In order to find the number of feet in 13 yards, you have to
take 3 feet 13 <em><u>times</u></em> .

       (3 feet) times (13)  =  <em>39 feet .</em>

#8).
For this one, you have to know that every 36 inches makes 1 yard.

How many 36 inches are there in 48 inches ?
That's division.
                         (48 inches) / (36inches)  =  <em>1 and 1/2 yards</em> .

#9).
For this problem, you have to know how to handle a mixed number,
and you also have to know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

Add up the fruit:

             (3-1/2 pounds) + (4 pounds) + 2 pounds)  =  <em><u>9-1/2 pounds</u></em>

Now, remember that each pound is the same as 16 ounces.  So if you
want to find the number of ounces in  9-1/2 pounds, you have to take
16 ounces  9-1/2 times .

     (16 ounces) times (9-1/2) = <em>152 ounces</em>.
___________________________________

#10).
This one is just adding up some numbers.  But after you finish doing that, you have to know that  1,000 meters is called '1 kilometer' .

Add up the distances that Omar ran:

   (1,000 meters) + (1,625 meters) + (1,500 meters)  =  <em><u>4,125 meters</u></em>

The problem wants to know how many kilometers this is, so you have to figure out how many '1,000 meters' fit into 4,125 meters.

That's division.

   (4,125 meters) / (1,000 meters)  =  <em>4.125 kilometers</em>

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.
