Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which process takes place when large rocks crumble due to oxidation?

A) Erosion

B) Deposition

C) physical weathering

D) chemical weathering​

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Weathering can simply be defined as the breakdown of the top surface of rocks. <u>From this definition, it can be deduced that the question describes a type of weathering</u>. Weathering can be of two types; Physical weathering and chemical weathering.

Physical weathering is caused by physical components of the environment such as temperature, water and some activities of living organisms. Physical weathering does not alter the chemical composition of the rock. A <u>chemical weathering</u> is caused by a reaction between the components of the rock and another substance. This type of weathering <u>involves a chemical reaction (for example oxidation)</u> which leads to the breakdown of the rock.

In a liquid-liquid extraction, how can you experimentally tell which layer is organic and which layer is aqueous? Can you always
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Liquid-liquid extraction is a very useful method to separate components from a mixture. It consists of separating one or several substances dissolved in a solvent by transferring them to another solvent insoluble or partially insoluble in the first. The transfer of matter is achieved by direct contact between the two liquid phases.

For the extraction process, the solution is placed in a separating funnel, a water-immiscible organic solvent is added (ethyl ether is the most used), the solution with the compound to be separated, the funnel is covered and the funnel is top. Then it shakes. Depending on the solubilities and density, different layers are observed. The denser the compound, the more it will sink.

Since the organic compound is usually much more soluble in ether than in water, most of the organic compound will be dissolved in the ether phase (upper phase) and inorganic salts, which are not soluble in ether, will remain in the aqueous phase ( lower phase). Subsequently, by separating the separating funnel the two phases are separated, the organic phase is collected.

Occasionally, after stirring, the two immiscible liquids do not separate sharply, forming an emulsion in the intermediate zone. This is called the colloidal suspension of a liquid in another (system consisting of two or more phases, usually a liquid and another dispersed in the form of generally very fine solid particles). One of the reasons for the formation of an emulsion is when the two phases have similar densities. Then the relative density of the organic solvent and water cannot always be relied upon, although there are methods to facilitate the complete separation of the two phases.

Carl's chemistry teacher asked him to make a 1 M sodium chloride solution. Carl measured 58.44 grams NaCl, added it to a volumet
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

After measuring the solute, Carl should first dissolve the solid in a small amount of DI water before diluting to the total volume.

Explanation:

To ensure that all the solute dissolves in the solution, first dissolve the solid in less than the total volume of solution needed.
