How does a tree speed up erosion? How can it slow erosion down?

Chemistry

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
8 0
A tree is able to speed up erosion because it break up rocks. This can happen as it’s roots grow through rocks, the water breaks through rocks, etc.
It can slow erosion down because it can act as a barrier to the elements that erode.

Calculate the Ka for the following acid. Determine if it is a strong or weak acid.
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁴; This is a weak acid because the acid is not completely dissociated in solution.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) and NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the acid dissociation constant

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

Ka = 0.022 × 0.022 / 0.68

Ka = 7.1 × 10⁻⁴

Step 3: Determine the strength of the acid

Since Ka is very small, nitrous acid is a weak acid, not completely dissociated in solution.

In a thin layer chromatography experiment, a plate of length 9.3 cm was used and a horizontal line was made at 1.45 cm above the
dezoksy [38]

Answer: The R_f value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

 The retention factor or the R_f value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}

R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664

Thus the R_f value is 0.664

Balancing chemical equations
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

2B2 + 3O2 → 2B2O3

Explanation:

Balance The Equation: B2 + O2 = B2O3

1. Label Each Compound With a Variable

  aB2 + bO2 = cB2O3

2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element

  B: 2a + 0b = 2c

  O: 0a + 2b = 3c

3. Solve For All Variables (using substitution, gauss elimination, or a calculator)

  a = 2

  b = 3

  c = 2

4. Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

  2B2 + 3O2 = 2B2O3

      L R

  B: 4 4 ✔️

  O: 6 6 ✔️

hope this helps!

How much heat in kj is released by burning 9.5 grams of methane?
tatyana61 [14]
Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.

Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.

n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol

Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*<span>0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.</span>
