Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale

Chemistry
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago

It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)

How does water filters work
Alexxandr [17]
A water filter removes impurities from water by means of a fine physical barrier, a chemical process or a biological process. Filters cleanse water to different extents for purposes such as providing agricultural irrigation, accessible drinking water, public and private aquaria, and the safe use of ponds and swimming pools.

If wind is eroding an area at a rate of 2 mm per year and depositing it in a smaller area at a rate of 7 mm per year, how much l
amid [387]

Answer:

After 2000 years, the first after will be 4m lower.

After 2000 years, the second area will be 14m higher.

Explanation:

From the given information:

At the first area:

if the wind is eroding at 2 mm/year, then after 2000 years; we have:

2 mm/year × 2000 year = 4000 mm

4000 mm to meters, we have:

=4000 \ mm \times \dfrac{1 \ m}{ 1000 \ mm}

= 4 m lower

At the second smaller area:

Given that the wind is depositing it at the rate of 7 mm per year;

Then:

7 mm/year × 2000 year = 14000 mm

=14000 \ mm \times \dfrac{1 \ m}{ 1000 \ mm}

=14 m higher
