Why do most sidewalks have cracks in them every few feet?

Chemistry

Licemer1 [7]4 years ago

This is actually a really good question! The lines are actually called "contraction joints." When the sidewalk is being made, the concrete used shrinks as it dries. This shrinking can cause cracks to form in the sidewalk, so to prevent the cracks from forming randomly, the builders make thin lines. Any cracks that form should follow the path of the line, since this is where the concrete is thinnest.

Hope this helps! :)

Astronomers studying the planet of Rhombus have detected sedimentary rock on its surface. One astronomer wonders if material in
Fed [463]

Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

When 1.82 moles of HCL reacts with excess MnO2, how many moles of Cl2 form
s2008m [1.1K]

The balanced reaction is:<span>

MnO2(s) + 4HCl(aq) → Cl2(g) + MnCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

We are given the amount of hydrochloric acid to be used for the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

1.82 mol HCl ( 1 mol Cl2 / 4 mol HCl) = 0.46 mol Cl2

<span>Therefore, 0.46 mol of chlorine gas is produced for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and manganese oxide.</span></span>
