Contrast the silica content of magma in quiet and explosive eruptions

Chemistry
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
3 0
Magma in quiet eruptions has a low content in silica , while in explosive eruptions, it has a high Content in silica.  A volcano that erupts quietly has  magma that is low in silica. Low-silica magma has low viscosity and flows easily.  A volcano that erupts explosively has magma that is high in silica. High-silica magma has high viscosity, making it thick and sticky, thus it flows slowly.

Write a mechanism (using curved-arrow notation) for the deprotonation of tannins in base. Use Ar-OH as a generic form of a tanni
Reika [66]

Answer:

After deprotonation of tannin, tannin (Ar-OH) is converted to Ar-O^{-}Na^{+} salt which is soluble in water and CO_{3}^{2-} is converted to HCO_{3}^{-}Na^{+} which is also soluble in water

Explanation:

  • Sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte which produces carbonate anion upon dissociation.
  • Carbonate ion is a strong conjugate base of weak acid HCO_{3}^{-}
  • After deprotonation of tannin, tannin (Ar-OH) is converted to Ar-O^{-}Na^{+} salt which is soluble in water and CO_{3}^{2-} is converted to HCO_{3}^{-}Na^{+} which is also soluble in water
  • Balanced equation: Ar-OH+Na_{2}CO_{3}\rightarrow Ar-O^{-}Na^{+}+Na^{+}HCO_{3}^{-}
  • Mechanism has been shown below.

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing __________.
Alex Ar [27]

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Equilibrium is a stage of reaction in which the rate of forwarding reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and equilibrium is stable at the reversible state of mode.

The concentration of reactant and product must also be equal or the same as the time then only it can be an equilibrium reaction.

Therefore equilibrium depends on the reaction, the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

Write the oxidation and reduction half reactions;
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a)

Fe^{2+}⇒Fe^{3+}+e^-

Br_2+2e^-⇒2Br^-

b)

Mg⇒Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Cr^{3+}+e^-⇒Cr^{3+}

Explanation:

A)

Remember that positive number superscripts mean electrons lack and negative numbers mean electrons 'excess' (if we compare it with the neutral element). So, for the case of Fe2+ which is converted to Fe3+, we know that in Fe2+ there is a two electrons lack, while in Fe3+ there is a 3 electrons lack; it means that Fe2+ was converted to Fe3+ but releasing one electron:

Fe^{2+}⇒Fe^{3+}+e^-

The same analysis is applied to Br2; Br2 is a molecule which is said to have a zero superscript because it is an apolar covalent bond; and it is converted to Br-, which, according to what I wrote above, means that there is a one electron excess. So, Br2 must have received an electron in order to change to Br-; but Br2 can't change to Br- as simple as that because Br2 is a molecule, not an atom; it is a molecule that has two Br atoms, so, Br2 must give two Br- ions as products, but receiving one electron for each one:

Br_2+2e^-⇒2Br^-

b)

Applying the same, in Mg2+ there is a 2 electrons lack, and in Mg is not electron lack (its superscript is zero), so Mg must have released two electrons in order to change to Mg2+:

Mg⇒Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Cr3+ has a 3 electrons lack, and Cr2+ a two electrons one, so, Cr3+ must receive an electron to convert to Cr2+:

Cr^{3+}+e^-⇒Cr^{3+}

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 5 options: The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same
amm1812

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

a) The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same and can be used to identify the element: It's true since the emission spectrum for each element is unique. It has the same bright lines at the same wavelength. This feature is used to identify elements. For example, the study of the emission spectra of light arriving from stars allow us to identify the elements presents in the star because the light contains the emission spectra of those elements.

b)The uncertainty principle states that we can never know both the exact location and speed of an electron:  It is true since the velocity of an electron is related to its wave nature, while its position is related to its particle nature and we cannot simultaneously measure electron's position and velocity with precision.

c) An orbital is the volume in which we are most likely to find an electron: An orbital is a probability distribution map that is used to decribe the likely position of an electron in an atom.
