Answer: Correct Answer: number 3 and 4

Explanation:

Number 1: Incorrect: not any type of rock can be formed by only weathering and erosion, as we can see in the image. igneous rock and metamorphic rock are formed by melting, cooling and pressure processes.

Number 2: Incorrect: There is not a define order how rocks are formed, as you can see in the image, they can be formed from one or from the other, depending of the conditions that they are sumitted.

Number 3: Correct: Rock change too slowly over time, from a few million to hundreds of millions of years.

Number 4: Correct : The rock cycle shows how the three rocks relate to one another as you can see in the image.

Number 5: Incorrect: Rocks don´t last forever, because they are subdued to climate conditions constantly.

Identify the spectator ions in this reaction:<br> 2H+ + 2NO3- + Ca2+ + 2OH- → Ca2+ + 2NO3 + 2H20

inysia [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

2NO3, Ca2+

Spectator ions exists in both sides of the equation. These ions are present in both sides thus cancel out (they do not contribute to reaction...i.e. they only watch or spectate ;) )

How is the energy of the universe conserved during the combustion of gasoline in a car engine?

Marianna [84]

In a car driven by a gasoline combustion engine, heat energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy which results in the motion of the car.

According to the law of the conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed or created. It is can only be transformed from one form to another.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on which factor?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gases states that gas particles exhibit a perfectly elastic collision and are constantly in motion.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature.

This ultimately implies that, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of an ideal gas. Thus, an increase in the average kinetic energy of gas particles would cause an increase in the absolute temperature of an ideal gas.

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Assume that each atom is a sphere, and that the surface of each atom is in contact with its nearest neighbor. Determine the perc

tatiyna

Answer:

The percentage of unit cell volume that is occupied by atoms in a face- centered cubic lattice is 74.05%
The percentage of unit cell volume that is occupied by atoms in a body-centered cubic lattice is 68.03%
The percentage of unit cell volume that is occupied by atoms in a diamond lattice is 34.01%

Explanation:

The percentage of unit cell volume = Volume of atoms/Volume of unit cell

Volume of sphere = $\frac{4 }{3} \pi r^2$

a) Percentage of unit cell volume occupied by atoms in face- centered cubic lattice:

let the side of each cube = a

Volume of unit cell = Volume of cube = a³

Radius of atoms = $\frac{a\sqrt{2} }{4}$

Volume of each atom = $\frac{4 }{3} \pi (\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{4})^3$ = $\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{2}}{24}$

Number of atoms/unit cell = 4

Total volume of the atoms = $4 X \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{2}}{24} = \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{2}}{6}$

The percentage of unit cell volume = $\frac{\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{2}}{6}}{a^3} =\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{2}}{6a^3} = \frac{\pi \sqrt{2}}{6}$ = 0.7405

= 0.7405 X 100% = 74.05%

b) Percentage of unit cell volume occupied by atoms in a body-centered cubic lattice

Radius of atoms = $\frac{a\sqrt{3} }{4}$

Volume of each atom = $\frac{4 }{3} \pi (\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{4})^3$ = $\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{16}$

Number of atoms/unit cell = 2

Total volume of the atoms = $2X \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{16} = \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{8}$

The percentage of unit cell volume = $\frac{\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{8}}{a^3} =\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{8a^3} = \frac{\pi \sqrt{3}}{8}$ = 0.6803

= 0.6803 X 100% = 68.03%

c) Percentage of unit cell volume occupied by atoms in a diamond lattice

Radius of atoms = $\frac{a\sqrt{3} }{8}$

Volume of each atom = $\frac{4 }{3} \pi (\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{8})^3$ = $\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{128}$

Number of atoms/unit cell = 8

Total volume of the atoms = $8X \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{128} = \frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{16}$

The percentage of unit cell volume = $\frac{\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{16}}{a^3} =\frac{\pi *a^3\sqrt{3}}{16a^3} = \frac{\pi \sqrt{3}}{16}$ = 0.3401

= 0.3401 X 100% = 34.01%
