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.

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

Prepare indicators by using natural materials like extract of red cabbage leaves, crushed beetroot,
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Y

ou have learnt in your previous classes that the sour and bitter

tastes of food are due to acids and bases, respectively, present in them.

If someone in the family is suffering from a problem of acidity after

overeating, which of the following would you suggest as a remedy– lemon

juice, vinegar or baking soda solution?

n Which property did you think of while choosing the remedy?

Surely you must have used your knowledge about the ability of

acids and bases to nullify each other’s effect.

n Recall how we tested sour and bitter substances without tasting

them.

You already know that acids are sour in taste and change the colour

of blue litmus to red, whereas, bases are bitter and change the colour of

the red litmus to blue. Litmus is a natural indicator, turmeric is another

such indicator. Have you noticed that a stain of curry on a white cloth

becomes reddish-brown when soap, which is basic in nature, is scrubbed

on it? It turns yellow again when the cloth is washed with plenty of

water. You can also use synthetic indicators such as methyl orange and

phenolphthalein to test for acids and bases.

In this Chapter, we will study the reactions of acids and bases, how

acids and bases cancel out each other’s effects and many more interesting

things that we use and see in our day-to-day life. Do You Know?

Litmus solution is a purple dye, which is extracted from lichen, a plant belonging to

the division Thallophyta, and is commonly used as an indicator. When the litmus

solution is neither acidic nor basic, its colour is purple. There are many other natural

materials like red cabbage leaves, turmeric, coloured petals of some flowers such as

Hydrangea, Petunia and Geranium, which indicate the presence of acid or base in a

solution. These are called acid-base indicators or sometimes simply indicators.

These indicators tell us whether a substance is acidic or basic by

change in colour. There are some substances whose odour changes in

acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Let us try

out some of these indicators.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Two electrons in the same orbital can have
Monica [59]

An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation:

The only true statement from the given options is that "an orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy." Inner orbitals which are also known to contain core electrons feels the bulk of the nuclear pull on them compared to the outermost orbitals containing the valence electrons.

  • The nuclear pull is the effect of the nucleus pulling and attracting the electrons in orbitals.
  • This pull is stronger for inner orbitals and weak on the outer ones.
  • The outer orbitals are said to be well shielded from the pull of the nuclear charge.
  • Also, based on the quantum theory, electrons in the outer orbitals have higher energies because they occupy orbitals at having higher energy value.

I don’t understand how to solve this and I don’t get ionic equation
Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Spectator ions refers to elements/molecules that do not form part of the reaction. Basically, these elements/molecules are in the same state in the reactant and product side. From the given reaction, Ca and SO4 change their state from aqueous to solid and Na and Cl do not change their state. Therefore, Na and Cl are spectator ions and Ca and SO4 are not spectator ions.

Answer:

The correct option is C.
