Law of superposition

Principle of cross-cutting

Explanation:

The geologic precepts that would be used to determine the relative ages of the rock strata are the law of superposition of strata and the principle of cross-cutting.

The law of superposition of strata states that "in an undisturbed sequence of rock strata, the oldest layer is usually at the bottom and the youngest on top".
From this law we understand that the oldest layer will be at the bottom if the rock has not been disturbed.
Here the rock has been disturbed by folding and we need to unravel to fold and see how the rock sequence originally was laid.

The principle of cross-cutting states that "faults are younger than the rocks they cut through". Structures in rocks are younger than rock layers they cut through.

A fault or joint will only pass through a rock that has been formed before it occurred. Subsequent rocks will be younger than the fault.

A 36.165 mg36.165 mg sample of a chemical known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen is put into a combustion an

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing out what was given from the question. This is shown:

Let us consider the First experiment:

Mass of the compound = 36.165 mg

Mass of CO2 = 64.425 mg

Mass of H2O = 26.373 mg

Data obtained from the Second experiment:

Mass of compound = 47.029 mg

Mass of SO2 = 20.32 mg

Next, we'll determine the mass of C, H and S. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C in CO2 = 12/44 x 64.425 Mass of C = 17.57 mg

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H in H2O = 2/18 x 26.373

Mass of H = 2.93 mg

Molar Mass of SO2 = 32 + (16x2) = 64g/mol

Mass of S in SO2 = 32/64 x 20.32

Mass of S = 10.16 mg

At this stage, it is important we determine the percentage composition of C, H, S and O. This is illustrated below:

% of C = 17.57/36.165 x 100 = 48.58%

% of H = 2.93/36.165 x 100 = 8.10%

% of S = 10.16/47.029 x 100 = 21.60%

% of O = 100 - (48.58 + 8.1 + 21.6)

% of O = 21.72%

Now we can easily obtain the empirical formula for the compound by doing the following.

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.58/12 = 4.0483

H = 8.10/1 = 8.1

S = 21.60/32 = 0.675

O = 21.72/16 = 1.3575

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest:

C = 4.0483/0.675 = 6

H = 8.1/0.675 = 12

S = 0.675/0.675 = 1

O = 1.3575/0.675 = 2

From the calculations made above, empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2

A lead–tin alloy of composition 30 wt% Sn–70 wt% Pb is slowly heated from a temperature of 150°C (300°F).(a) At what temperature

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

a) 231.9 °C

b) 100% Sn

c) 327.5 °C

d) 100% Pb

Explanation:

This is a mixture of two solids with different fusion point:

$Tf_{Pb}=327.5 C$

$Tf_{Sn}=231.9 C$

<u>Given that Sn has a lower fusion temperature it will start to melt first at that temperature. </u>

So the first liquid phase forms at 231.9 °C and because Pb starts melting at a higher temperature, that phase's composition will be 100% Sn.

The mixture will be completely melted when you are a the higher melting temperature of all components (in this case Pb), so it will all in liquid phase at 327.5 °C.

At that temperature all Sn was already in liquid state and, therefore, the last solid's composition will be 100% Pb.

Which of the following is NOT a product obtained from the distillation of coal tar?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Coke.

Explanation:

The distillation of coal tar can obtain aromatic compounds like benzene and toluene, and also phenolic compounds like phenol. Hence, the only option here that cannot be obtained from the distillation of coal tar is coke.

Hope this helped!
