Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale

1 answer:

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.

Suppose a 1.0 L solution contains 0.020 M in Cu(NO3)2, then 0.40 moles of NH3 are added. Assuming no change in volume, what is t

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$4.6*10^{-14}$ M

Explanation:

Concentration of $Cu^{2+} = [Cu(NO_3)_2]$ = 0.020 M

Constructing an ICE table;we have:

$Cu^{2+}+4NH_3_{aq} \rightleftharpoons [Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}_{(aq)}$

Initial (M) 0.020 0.40 0

Change (M) - x - 4 x x

Equilibrium (M) 0.020 -x 0.40 - 4 x x

Given that: $K_f =1.7*10^{13}$

$K_f } = \frac{[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}}{[Cu^{2+}][NH_3]^4}$

$1.7*10^{13} = \frac{x}{(0.020-x)(0.40-4x)^4}$

Since x is so small; 0.40 -4x = 0.40

Then:

$1.7*10^{13} = \frac{x}{(0.020-x)(0.0256)}$

$1.7*10^{13} = \frac{x}{(5.12*10^{-4}-0.0256x)}$

$1.7*10^{13}(5.12*10^{-4} - 0.0256x) = x$

$8.704*10^9-4.352*10^{11}x =x$

$8.704*10^9 = 4.352*10^{11}x$

$x = \frac{8.704*10^9}{4.352*10^{11}}$

$x = 0.0199999999999540$

$Cu^{2+}= 0.020 - 0.019999999999954$

$Cu^{2+} = 4.6*10^{-14}$ M

How many moles of CO2 are produced from the combustion of 5.25 moles of CH3OH?

iVinArrow [24]

First, we write the reaction for CH3OH combustion

CH3OH+3/2O2--->CO2+2H2O

for 1 mole of methanol, we get 1 mole of CO2, therefore for 5,25 moles of methanol we will get 5,25 moles of CO2
