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 rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 5.40×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.100 M, what will the
IceJOKER [234]

Answer : The concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Explanation :

The expression for first order reaction is:

[C_t]=[C_o]e^{-kt}

where,

[C_t] = concentration at time 't'  (final) = ?

[C_o] = concentration at time '0' (initial) = 0.100 M

k = rate constant = 5.40\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

t = time = 17.0 min = 1020 s (1 min = 60 s)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

[C_t]=(0.100)\times e^{-(5.40\times 10^{-3})\times (1020)}

[C_t]=4.05\times 10^{-4}M

Thus, the concentration after 17.0 minutes will be, 4.05\times 10^{-4}M

A student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D.phototropism

Explanation:

Phototropism is a type of tropism in which a plant or plant part responds to light. According to this question, a student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of cress seedlings. The student used three different pots for the experiment.

Pot 1 was placed with light from above. Pot 2 was placed in a cupboard with no light. Pot 3 was placed in a window with light from one direction only. However, the image attached to this question shows that the plants in the different pots face different directions in response to light, which depicts phototropism

What is the relationship between a chemical equation and a chemical reaction? What are reactants and products in a chemical equa
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A chemical reaction occurs when reactants are converted into products. A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical symbols. The chemical equation also indicates the physical state of the reactants and products. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.

Uranium-267 undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass of the new element?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

will this help ?

Explanation:

(108Hs) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 265Hs in 1984. There are 12 known isotopes from 263Hs to 277Hs and 1–4 isomers. The most stable isotope of hassium cannot be determined based on existing data due to uncertainty that arises from the low number of measurements. The confidence interval of half-life of 269Hs corresponding to one standard deviation (the interval is ~68.3% likely to contain the actual value) is 16 ± 6 seconds, whereas that of 270Hs is 9 ± 4 seconds. It is also possible that 277mHs is more stable than both of these, with its half-life likely being 110 ± 70 seconds, but only one event of decay of this isotope has been registered as of 2016.[1][2].
