The quartz in granite begins to melt at 650°C, so if we find a migmatite where quartz has melted in a granitic rock and we know

the temperature in the region increased with depth by about 25°C per kilometer, we could estimate the depth that the rock had been at to be about ________.
a. 12.5 km
b. 18.0 km
c. 23.5 km
d. 26.0 km

Answer:

d. 26.0 km

Explanation:

If the temperature in the region increases with depth by about 25 °C /km, then at a depth of 2 km the temperature would be 50 °C higher, at a depth of 3 km the temperature would be 75 °C higher and so on.

<u>The only way for finding melted quartz would be if the temperature is at least 650 °C.</u>

  • Temperature = 25 °C /km * Depth

We put the data given by the problem and <u>solve for Depth</u>:

  • 650 °C = 25 °C /km * Depth
  • Depth = 26.0 km

Prospectors are considering searching for gold on a plot of land that contains 2.45 g of gold per bucket of soil. If the volume
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

13.2 g of gold

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 5.25 L to ft³.

This can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 L = 0.0353 ft³

Therefore,

5.25 L = 5.25 × 0.0353

5.25 L = 1.85×10¯¹ ft³

From the question given above,

2.45 g of gold is present in 5.25 L ( i.e 1.85×10¯¹ ft³) of soil.

Therefore, Xg of gold will be present in 1 ft³ of soil i.e

Xg of gold = 2.45/1.85×10¯¹

Xg of gold = 13.2 g

Therefore, 13.2 g of gold is present in 1 ft³ of the soil.

How do ionic bonds form in binary compounds?<br><br> (from discovery education)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms and is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble-gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
