Answer:

Types of chemical weathering

1. Hydrolysis

2. Oxidation

3. Carbonation

4. Acid rain

5. Acids produced by lichens

Explanation:

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks undergo chemical reactions to form new minerals.

Hydrolysis : is when water dissolves minerals present in rocks forming new compounds.

Oxidation : is when oxygen reacts with rocks eg. rust formation

Carbonation : it uses an acid known as carbonic acid, it is important in the formation of many caves and sinkholes.

Specify the steps included in the sedimentary rock formation

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 2000 L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6 L/min. The solution is mixed and drain

sashaice [31]

Answer:

a) 90 kg

b) 68.4 kg

c) 0 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass balance:

$-w=\frac{dm}{dt}$

w is the mass flow

m is the mass of salt

$-v*C=\frac{dm}{dt}$

v is the volume flow

C is the concentration

$C=\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}$

$-v*\frac{m}{V+(6-3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{m}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{dt}$

$-3*L/min*\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\frac{dm}{m}$

$-3*L/min*\int_{0}^{t}\frac{dt}{2000L+(3)*L/min*t}=\int_{90kg}^{m}\frac{dm}{m}$

$-[ln(2000L+3*L/min*t)-ln(2000L)]=ln(m)-ln(90kg)$

$-ln[(2000L+3*L/min*t)/2000L]=ln(m/90kg)$

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*t)]$

a) Initially: t=0

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*0)]=90kg$

b) t=210 min (3.5 hr)

$m=90kg*[2000L/(2000L+3*L/min*210min)]=68.4kg$

c) If time trends to infinity the division trends to 0 and, therefore, m trends to 0. So, the concentration at infinit time is 0 kg/L.

Which statement best describes one way that plate tectonics causes change

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: Plate tectonics was Wegener's theory that Earth's continents rest on sections of Earth's crust that drift together and apart over time; continental drift is a hypothesis describing how plate tectonics might happen.

Explanation: Tectonic plate movement is a long-term environmental change.

A 0.105 L sample of an unknown HNO 3 solution required 35.7 mL of 0.250 M Ba ( OH ) 2 for complete neutralization. What is the c

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: 0.17M

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is :

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 —> Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation, we obtain :

nA = mole of acid = 2

nB = mole of the base = 1

From the question, we obtain:

Va = Vol. Of acid = 0.105L

Ma = conc. Of acid =?

Vb = Vol of base = 35.7 mL = 0.0357L

Mb = conc. of base = 0.25M.

We solve for the conc. of the acid using:

MaVa / Mb Vb = nA / nB

(Ma x 0.105) / (0.25x0.0357) = 2

Cross multiply to express in linear form. We have:

Ma x 0.105 = 0.25 x 0.0357 x 2

Divide both side by 0.105. We have

Ma = (0.25 x 0.0357 x 2) / 0.105

Ma = 0.17M

Therefore the concentration of the acid(HNO3) is 0.17M
