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.

Which statement explains why a rubber band analogy is not a perfect comparison for bonds in a substance when considering phase c
Aliun [14]

The bonds in a substance breaks down in a phase change from liquid to gas and the molecules move independently of each other.

It is conventional to describe chemical bonds with the aid of elastic materials such as a rubber band. This analogy can only apply to covalent bonds between atoms in which the bonds between atoms are stretched.

However, in discussing the bonds in a substance when considering phase changes, this analogy breaks down because for a phase change from liquid to gas, the bonds break completely and particles can move independently of each other.

When zn(oh)2(s) was added to 1.00 l of a basic solution, 1.09×10−2 mol of the solid dissolved. what is the concentration of oh−
uysha [10]
The concentration of the basic solution is determined by:

N = (number of moles / volume of solution) 

number of moles = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol
volume of solution = 1 liter
N of basic solution = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol / 1 liter
N = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol/L

The initial concentration of Zn (OH)2 is 0; the basic solution is 1.09x10^-2 M, then the concentration of OH in the final solution is 1.09x10^-2 M

What happens to a reaction at equilibrium when a reactant is removed from the reaction system
Firlakuza [10]
When a reactant is removed based on a reaction at equilibrium, the condition favors the backward reaction. This obeys the Le Chatelier's principle which states that any disturbance in the system shall be dealt in a way that the system counters that disturbance.
