Weathering affect rock formations by ....... HELP MEEE

Maksim231197 [3]

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion

Through an uplift under the earth crust at a dirvergent boundary a _____ is formed.

postnew [5]

Out of the following given choices;

a. cliff b. fault

c. plateau d. mountain

The answer is b. A divergent boundary is a line at which two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is caused by the two magma convection currents in the mantle moving in opposing directions (one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise) hence dragging the crust with them. Therefore the biggest force at the boundary on the crust is that of pulling. This causes fractures and faults on the earth’s crust.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the number in front of the substance in bo

weeeeeb [17]

The balanced equation :

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

You just have to look for which element is in bold because the question is not clear

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

Al + Fe₃O₄→ Al₂O₃ + Fe

give a coefficient

aAl + Fe₃O₄→ bAl₂O₃ + cFe

O, left=4, right=3b⇒3b=4⇒b=4/3

Al, left=a, right=2b⇒a=2b⇒a=2.4/3⇒a=8/3

Fe, left=3, right=c⇒c=3

The equation becomes :

8/3Al + Fe₃O₄→ 4/3Al₂O₃ + 3Fe x3

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

What is the % composition of Carbon in Chromium (iii) Carbonate

photoshop1234 [79]

Step 1 - Discovering the ionic formula of Chromium (III) Carbonate

Chromium (III) Carbonate is formed by the ionic bonding between Chromium (III) (Cr(3+)) and Carbonate (CO3(2-)):

$Cr^{3+}+CO^{2-}_3\rightarrow Cr_2(CO_3)_3$

Step 2 - Finding the molar mass of the substance

To find the molar mass, we need to multiply the molar mass of each element by the number of times it appears in the formula of the substance and, finally, sum it all up.

The molar masses are 12 g/mol for C; 16 g/mol for O and 52 g/mol for Cr. We have thus:

$\begin{gathered} C\rightarrow3\times12=36 \\ \\ O\rightarrow9\times16=144 \\ \\ Cr\rightarrow2\times52=104 \end{gathered}$

The molar mass will be thus:

$M=36+104+144=284\text{ g/mol}$

Step 3 - Finding the percent composition of carbon

As we saw in the previous step, the molar mass of Cr2(CO3)3 is 284 g/mol. From this molar mass, 36 g/mol come from C. We can set the following proportion:

$\begin{gathered} 284\text{ g/mol ---- 100\%} \\ 36\text{ g/mol ----- x} \\ \\ x=\frac{36\times100}{284}=\frac{3600}{284}=12.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}$

The percent composition of Carbon is thus 12.7 %.
