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

Chemistry
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]2 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.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium fir building cars
Wittaler [7]

Disadvantages of aluminum in building cars include:

On average, aluminum is more expensive than steel, as much as two to three times.

Aluminum is not easily welded. If a steel door or panel suffers a crack, often it cam be welded back together easily, primed and repainted so its difficult to tell any body work has been performed. This cannot be done with aluminum. Steel  also can be bent and shaped as needed.

Body shops and even dealer service centers  are currently  equipped for steel work with technicians skilled in the art of welding and steel fabrication. The cost of switching over to an infra structure designed specifically for all-aluminum  vehicles or mass production of aluminum vehicles and components would be high.

A sample of methane gas, CH4, occupies 3.25 L at temperature of 19.0 o C. If the pressure is held constant, what will be the tem
Artemon [7]

Answer:

625.46 °C

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 19 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 19 °C

T(K) = 19 °C + 273

T(K) = 292 K

Next, we shall determine the Final temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 292 K

Final volume (V₂) = 10 L

Final temperature (T₂) =?

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

3.25 / 292 = 10 / T₂

Cross multiply

3.25 × T₂ = 292 × 10

3.25 × T₂ = 2920

Divide both side by 3.25

T₂ = 2920 / 3.25

T₂ = 898.46 K

Finally, we shall convert 898.46 K to celsius temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(°C) = T(K) – 273

T(K) = 898.46 K

T(°C) = 898.46 – 273

T(°C) = 625.46 °C

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 625.46 °C
