An abandoned Indiana coal mine spoil bank (wastes) contains chunks of pyrite minerals. Under constant erosion and weathering, th

e pyrites leach large amounts of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The spoil banks are also mixed with large quantities of basic limestone and clay carbonates. What should occur over time?

Answer:

The acid will be neutralized overtime

Explanation:

The presence of the pyrites leads to the leaching of large amounts of sulphuric acid, however the basic carbonates neutralizes the acid according to the reaction equation;

CaCO3 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O.

This will prevent all the deleterious consequences associated with the leaching of the acid in the abandoned coal mine.

Answer:

9) Substitution Reaction

10) Covalent Bond

11) Ionic Bond

12) Covalent Bond

13) Ionic Bond

14) 9 atoms

Explanation:

9) Substitution Reaction: Substitution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one atom, ion or species replaced by another atom, ion or species

10) Covalent Bond: Covalent bond is a bond that formed between two nonmetals, when both the species are non metal, the electronegativity of both the nonmetals are comparatively same, hence any of both do not pulls completely electron of other & the bond is formed by the sharing of electron.

11) Ionic Bond: We know that nonmetals have high electronegativity than those of metals, due to high electronegativity non metals pulls the electrons of metals but there is enough interaction that non metal do not escape after pulling the electron, & an ionic bond generates where non metals possess negative charge & positive charge goes to metal.

12) Covalent Bond: The bond formed between two atoms having less electronegativity diffrence by sharing of electron pair is know as covalent bond. for e.g the Carbon - Hydrogen bond in methane (CH4) molecule is covalent bonded because the electronegativity of carbon is 2.5 & that of hydrogen is 2.1 which is almost close, hence the bond formed is covalent.

13) Ionic Bond: The bond formed between two atoms having high electronegativity diffrence & the bond formed is due to complete transfer of electron by one species. For e.g. NaCl the sodium is a metal having electronegativity 0.9 and chlorine is non metal having electronegativity 3.0 the electronegativity diffrence is too high, hence the chlorine behaves as Cl- ion that of sodium as Na+, both the components behaves as ion but they are bonded &that bond is called as Ionic bond.

14) 9 Atoms: One molecule of water (H2O) posses three atoms, two hydrogen atoms & one oxygen atom, the number of atoms in 3 molecules of water 3×3 = 9 atoms.

1. A student sees tiny bubbles clinging to the inside of an unopened plastic bottle full of carbonated soft drinks. The student
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1) The bubbles will grow, and more may appear.

2)Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.

Explanation:

When you squeeze the sides of the bottle you increase the pressure pushing on the bubble, making it compress into a smaller space. This decrease in volume causes the bubble to increase in density. When the bubble increases in density, the bubble will grow and more bubbles will appear. Therefore, Changing the pressure (by squeezing the bottle) changes the volume of the bubbles. The number of bubbles doesn't change, just their size increases.

Carbonated drinks tend to lose their fizz at higher temperatures because the loss of carbon dioxide in liquids is increased as temperature is raised. This can be explained by the fact that when carbonated liquids are exposed to high temperatures, the solubility of gases in them is decreased. Hence the solubility of CO2 gas in can A at 32°C is less than the solubility of CO2 in can B at 8°C. Thus can A will tend to make a louder fizz more than can B.
