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

Chemistry

qaws [65]3 years ago

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!

Which of the following would be a result of increased solar activity?
scoundrel [369]
<span>The question is asking us "Which of the following would be a result of increased solar activity?" The Sun is extremely hot, and when it is warm on Earth, the heat has as it source in the Sun. Therefore, an increased solar activity would mean increased temperature on Earth - longer summers and shorter winters, and warmer sea temperatures. The best answer is : B. Warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures </span>

Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zinc chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂    →    Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

What is the mass of 0.257 mol of calcium nitrate?
poizon [28]

Answer: 42.14 g

Explanation:      calcium nitrate -  Ca(NO_{3} )_{2}

                   , the molar mass of calcium nitrate = 164 g

<h3>                   formula used = given mass/molar mass= no of moles </h3>

                   mass required =0.257*164

                                               =42.14 g

An oxybromate compound, kbrox, where x is unknown, is analyzed and found to contain 43.66 % br.
aniked [119]

Answer is: an oxybromate compound is KBrO₄ (x = 4).

ω(Br) = 43.66% ÷ 100%.

ω(Br) = 0.4366; mass percentage of bromine.

If we take 100 grams of compound:

m(Br) = ω(Br) · 100 g.

m(Br) = 0.4366 · 100 g.

m(Br) = 43.66 g; mass of bromine.

n(Br) = m(Br) ÷ M(Br).

n(Br) = 43.66 g ÷ 79.9 g/mol,

n(Br) = 0.55 mol; amoun of bromine.

From chemical formula (KBrOₓ), amount of potassium is equal to amount of bromine: n(Br) = n(K).

m(K) = 0.55 mol · 39.1 g/mol.

m(K) = 21.365 g; mass of potassium in the compound.

m(O) = 100 g - 21.365 g - 43.66 g.

m(O) =34.97 g; mass of oxygen.

n(O) = 34.97 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 2.185 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 0.55 mol : 0.55 mol : 2.185 mol /÷ 0.55 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 4.
