How can you use the law of superposition to determine the relative age of rock of layers ?

Chemistry

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

According to the law of superposition, in horizontal sedimentary rock layers the oldest is at the bottom. Each higher layer is younger than the layer below. Superposition of rock units is a very simple and straightforward method of relative age determination. The principle states that in a sequence of undeformed sedimentary rocks the oldest beds are at the bottom and the youngest ones are at the top.

A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J

the temperature of a sample of water increases from 20celsius to 46.6celsius as it absorbs 5650 J of heat. what is the mass of t
Levart [38]

Answer:

m = 50.74 kg

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature of water is 20 degrees Celsius

Final temperature of water is 46.6 degrees Celsius

Heat absorbed is 5650 J

It is required to find the mass of the sample. The heat absorbed is given by the formula ad follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is specific heat of water, c = 4.186 J/g°C

So,

m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{5650}{4.186\times (46.6-20)}\\\\m=50.74\ kg

So, the mass of the sample is 50.74 kg.

The cornea does not contain any blood vessels, but instead contains many nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive. That is why a scratch or a loose eyelash is so painful.
