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.

One disadvantage of burning propane (C3H8) is that carbon dioxide is one of the products. The released CO2 increases the growing
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

80 MOLES OF WATER ARE PRODUCED WHEN 20 MOLES OF PROPANE ARE BURNED IN EXCESS OXYGEN ON A GAS GRILL.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction:

C3H8 + 5 O2 --------->  4 H2O + 3 CO2 + Heat

The above equation is in the presence of excess oxygen.

In this reaction,

1 mole of propane forms 4 moles of H2O

If 20 moles of propane were to be used, how many moles of water will be produced?

1 mole of propane = 4 moles of water

20 moles of propane = ( 4 * 20 ) moles of water

= 80 moles of water.

So, if 20 moles of propane were burned in excess oxygen, 80 moles of water will be formed. Propane is heavier than air and when properly combusted produces a large amount of heat. It is also non toxic.
