Answer: The material formed by weathering that is then eroded and deposited is called SEDIMENTS.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down to form Sediments. There are three forces that can cause weathering of a rock they include:

- Biological weathering: example tree roots, and lichens.

- Chemical weathering: example, water, acid, or gases.

- Mechanical weathering: example, wind, rain, water freezing.

These Sediments that are generated during the course of weathering is moved from one place to another through a natural force called EROSION. The dropping of the Sediments in a new place is known as deposition. The collective effects of weathering,erosion and deposition leads to:

- landslides

-Changes in shape, size and texture of land forms.

- soil formation

- washes soil, pollutants, harmful sediments into water ways. I hope this helps, thanks.

Al2(SO4)3+Mg(NO3)2⟶ What would be the product(s) of this reaction? *These are NOT balanced, just look for the correct products*

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

$Al_2(SO_4)_3+3Mg(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 2Al(NO_3)_3+3MgSO_4$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the given reactants side, we infer this is a double replacement reaction because all the cations and anions are switched around as a result of the chemical change, we infer that the products side include aluminum with nitrate and magnesium with sulfate as shown below:

$Al_2(SO_4)_3+Mg(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Al(NO_3)_3+MgSO_4$

However, we need to balance since unequal number of atoms are present at both sides, thus, we do that as shown below:

$Al_2(SO_4)_3+3Mg(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 2Al(NO_3)_3+3MgSO_4$

Thus, we make 6 Al atoms, 3 S atoms, 3 Mg atoms and 30 O atoms on each side in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

Regards!

NARA [144]

Missing question:
A. [3.40 mol Fe2O3 (s) × 26.3 kJ/1 mol Fe2O3 (s)] / 2
B. 3.40 mol Fe2O3 (s) × 26.3 kJ/1 mol Fe2O3 (s) 
C. 26.3 kJ/1 mol Fe2O3 (s) / 3.40 mol Fe2O3 (s) 
D. 26.3 kJ/1 mol Fe2O3 (s) – 3.40 mol Fe2O3 (s).
Answer is: B.
Chemical reaction: Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g);ΔH = + 26.3 kJ.
When one mole of iron(III) oxide reacts 26,3 kJ of energy is required and for 3,2 moles of iron(III) oxide 3,2 times more energy is required.
