Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

Chemistry
1 answer:
wariber [46]3 years ago
5 0
In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".

The atom with the same number of neutrons as 12C is 9Be. 11B. 13C. 14N.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer : The atom with the same number of neutrons as ^{12}C is, ^{11}B

Explanation :

  • The given atom is, ^{12}C

Atomic mass number = 12

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 12 - 6 = 6

Now we have to determine the number of neutrons in the given options.

  • In atom, ^{9}Be

Atomic mass number = 9

Atomic number = 4

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 4

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 9 - 4 = 5

  • In atom, ^{11}B

Atomic mass number = 11

Atomic number = 5

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 5

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

  • In atom, ^{13}C

Atomic mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 13 - 6 = 7

  • In atom, ^{14}N

Atomic mass number = 14

Atomic number = 7

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 7

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 14 - 7 = 7

Therefore, the atom with the same number of neutrons as ^{12}C is, ^{11}B

Question 6: Iron metal and chlorine gas react to form iron (III) chloride: 2 Fe(s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 FeCl3 (s)
Bas_tet [7]

10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

What ois Theoretical yield ?

The quantity of a product obtained from a reaction is expressed in terms of the yield of the reaction.

The amount of product predicted by stoichiometry is called the theoretical yield, whereas the amount obtained actually is called the actual yield.

  • As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe consumes 213 gm of Cl₂ to produce 2FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will consumes = 213 / 111.68 x 10 = 19 gm Cl₂

  • As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe produces 2 mole (324 gm) of FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will produces = 324 / 111.68 x 10 = 29 gm FeCl₃

Hence , 10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

in their mechanism of action, a difference between lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones is that _____.
LenKa [72]
<span>In their mechanism of action, a difference between lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones is that </span>lipid-soluble hormones diffuse into the cell's plasma membrane to access protein receptors, while water-soluble hormones bind to protein receptors on the plasma membrane without diffusion.

Examples of lipid-soluble hormones are steroids. Examples of water-soluble hormones are polypeptides.

The density of an unknown gas is 4. 20 grams per liter at 3. 00 atmospheres pressure and 127 °c. what is the molecular weight of
Kryger [21]

The molecular weight of this gas will be 45 g/mol .

The state equilibrium equation for a fictitious perfect gas is known as the ideal gas law, sometimes known as the generic gas equation. Although it has significant drawbacks, it represents a decent approximation of the activity of many gases under various conditions.

Ideal gas law can be expressed as:

PV =nRT

Calculation of molecular weight by using ideal as law.

Given data:

P = 3 atm

T = 127 °c

Density =  4. 20 grams per liter

PV =nRT

where p is pressure , T is temperature and R is gas constant.

PV = gram / molecular weight RT

Molecular weight = (g/v)( 1/P) RT

Putting the given data in above equation.

Molecular weight =4.20 × 1/ 3× 400 × 0.0831

Molecular weight = 45 g/mol.
