Why wasn't oxidation type chemical weathering common more than 2 billion years ago?

Chemistry
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

            Due to deficiency of Oxygen in atmosphere.

Explanation:

                   Oxidation is defined in two ways, 1) The addition of Oxygen and Removal of Hydrogen 2) The removal of electrons.

                   We will discuss the first definition for this question. The addition of oxygen to various compounds results in the oxidation of that compound.

Example: Oxidation of Methane;

                                   CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

In this example oxygen is added to methane and hydrogen is being removed from methane.

Oxidation type chemical weathering common more than 2 billion years ago because of less amount of Oxygen in atmosphere and the oxygen which was produced by plants reacted with different metals like Iron forming precipitates which precipitated to the bottom of oceans.

The quinine in tonic water shines a strange blue-white colour when lit with UV light. Explain what is happening here.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Quinine contains phosphors, substances that glow when they are hit with certain wavelengths of light.

The phosphors in quinine absorb UV light, which is invisible to our eyes.

Electrons in the phosphors absorb the UV energy and are excited to higher energy levels.

When the electrons drop back to lower energy levels, they emit some of this energy as a glowing blue visible light.
