Why does it seem to us as if rocks remain the same and don't change

1 answer:

3 0

Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time. Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!

1. A student attempts to make a saline solution by adding salt to water. How much water did

dexar [7]

111.1 mL of water

Explanation:

Weight per volume concentration (w/v %) is defined as

weight per volume concentration = (mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (mL)) × 100

volume of solution = (mass of solute × 100) / weight per volume concentration

volume of solution = (1 × 100) / 0.9 = 111.1 mL

volume of water = volume of solution = 111.1 mL

What is the balanced equation and type of reaction for: <br> Copper metal+aqueous silver nitrate

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)

This chemical equation means:

One mole of solid copper plus two moles of aqueous silver nitrate produce one mole of copper(II) nitrate plus two moles of solid silver.

This is a single replacement reaction in which the metal copper replaces the metal silver.

A city continuously disposes of effluent from a wastewater treatment plant into a river. The minimum flow in the river is 130 m3

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

$2.54\ \text{mg/L}$

Explanation:

C = Allowable concentration = 1.1 mg/L

$Q_1$ = Flow rate of river = $130\ \text{m}^/\text{s}$

$Q_2$ = Discharge from plant = $37\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}$

$C_1$ = Background concentration = 0.69 mg/L

$C_2$ = Maximum concentration that of the pollutant

The concentration of the mixture will be

$C=\dfrac{Q_1C_1+Q_2C_2}{Q_1+Q_2}\\\Rightarrow C_2=\dfrac{C(Q_1+Q_2)-Q_1C_1}{Q_2}\\\Rightarrow C_2=\dfrac{1.1(130+37)-130\times 0.69}{37}\\\Rightarrow C_2=2.54\ \text{mg/L}$

The maximum concentration that of the pollutant (in mg/L) that can be safely discharged from the wastewater treatment plant is $2.54\ \text{mg/L}$ .

3 The volume of a gas is 50.0 mL at 20.0 K. What will be the new

Damm [24]

Answer:

C. 4.00 K

Explanation:

We can solve this using Charles's Law of the ideal gas. The law describes that when the pressure is constant, the volume will be directly proportional to the temperature. Note that the temperature here should only use the Kelvin unit. Before compressed, the volume of the gas is 50ml(V1) and the temperature is 20K (T1). After compressed the volume becomes 10ml(V2). The calculation will be:

V1 / T1= V2 / T2

50ml / 20K = 10ml / T2

T2= 10ml/ 50ml * 20K

T2= 4K
