Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale

Chemistry
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago
3 0
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.

How many atoms of oxygen are represented in 3Fe(NO3)2?
nexus9112 [7]
There are 18. In each molecule of Fe(NO3)2 there are 6 oxygen atoms because you have 2 nitrate (NO3) components which each contain 3 oxygen atoms. 2 x 3 = 6. Because you have 3 molecules of Fe(NO3)2, you need to multiply 6 by 3, which gives you 18 oxygen atoms.

Which way would CCI2F2 orient in an electric field?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In looking at molecules to determine whether they are polar or not we have to look at two things basically;

i) presence of polar bonds

ii) geometry of the molecule

Now, we know that CCI2F2 is a tetrahedral molecule, but the molecule is not symmetrical. It has four polar bonds that are not all the same hence the molecule is polar.

In an electric field, polar molecules orient themselves in such a way that  the positive ends of the molecule are being attracted to the negative plate while the negative ends of the molecules are attracted to the positive plate.

So the positive ends of CCI2F2  are oriented towards the negative plate of the field while the negative ends of CCI2F2 are oriented towards the positive ends of the field.
