Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

Chemistry

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".

When compounds form, which of the following statements is true about the elements that form them?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. Their properties change completely.

Explanation:

The electron configurations of the elements show a periodic variation with increasing atomic number. Consequently, there are also periodic variations in physical and chemical behavior.  

When atoms interact to form a chemical bond, they combine in order to <u>achieve a more stable electron configuration.</u> As a consequence, the compounds formed exhibit completely different properties.

For example, when solid magnesium burns in air, it forms both magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride, which are gases.

How many milliners of hydrogen gas ar produced by the reaction 0.020 moles of magnesium with excess of hydrochloride acid at sto
jeyben [28]

Answer:- 448 mL of hydrogen gas are formed.

Solution:- It asks to calculate the volume of hydrogen gas formed in milliliters at STP when 0.020 moles of magnesium reacts with excess HCl acid. The balanced equation is:

Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2(g)

There is 1:1 mol ratio between Mg and hydrogen gas. So, the moles of hydrogen gas is also equals to the moles of Mg reacted.

moles of Hydrogen gas formed = 0.020 mol

At STP, volume of 1 mol of the gas is 22.4 L. We need to calculate the volume of 0.02 moles of hydrogen gas.

0.02mol(\frac{22.4L}{1mol})

= 0.448 L

They want answer in mL. So, let's convert L to mL using the conversion formula, 1L = 1000mL

0.448L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})

= 448 mL

So, 0.020 moles of magnesium would produce 448 mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reacting with excess of HCl acid.
