Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.

A 0.187 M weak acid solution has a pH of 3.99. Find Ka for the acid. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

5.56 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.187 M
  • pH of the solution: 3.99

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.99 = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca} = \frac{(1.02 \times 10^{-4})^{2} }{0.187} = 5.56 \times 10^{-8}

Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the __________ of the reaction.
irga5000 [103]

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:

A + B → CΔH = (±) #

Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

Consider the following operations on the number 7.02 times 10^-2. Without using a calculator, decide which would give a signific
mariarad [96]

Answer: (a). Significantly Larger value

(b). Significantly Smaller value

(c). Significantly Larger value

(d). Significantly Smaller value

Explanation:

This is quite a dicey  question to analyze, let us not get too carried away with the simplicity of the mathematical signs involved.

Given that 7.02 × 10⁻² is the number to be compared with.

(a).  7.02 × 10⁻² + 6.10 × 10⁵

from this, we can see a very large number being added to the base number involved, although the base number is carrying a negative power, it does not affect the other greatly.

ANS: the sum would give a significantly larger value

(b). 7.02 × 10⁻² - 6.10 × 10⁵

Here, we can see a very large number subtracted from the base number having a negative power.

the subtraction of this numbers gives a Significantly smaller value than the base number i.e. 7.02 × 10⁻²

ANS: Significantly smaller value

(c). 7.02 × 10⁻² × 6.10 × 10⁵

we would solve this from our basic knowledge of indices

where ⇒ (10ᵃ × 10ᵇ = 10ᵃ⁺ᵇ)

we have,

7.02 × 10⁻² × 6.10 × 10⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻²⁺⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10³

this final value (multiplication value) gives a Significantly larger value.

ANS: Significantly larger value

(d). 7.02 × 10⁻² ÷ 6.10 × 10⁵

Also, we apply the indices rule for Division

where ⇒ (10ᵃ ÷ 10ᵇ = 10ᵃ⁻ᵇ)

i.e. 7.02 × 10⁻² ÷ 6.10 × 10⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻²⁻⁺⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻⁷

this final value gives a Significantly Smaller value

ANS: Significantly Smaller value

cheers i hope this helps.

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
