Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by either physical or chemical means. Physical weathering involves physical factors that cause mechanical break down of rocks while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between the contents of the rocks and other factors such air (oxygen). Agents of weathering are the factors that cause or enhance both physical and chemical weathering. Some of these factors cause both physical and chemical weathering these includes water and temperature.
Answer:
0.4694 moles of CrCl₃
Explanation:
The balanced equation is:
Cr₂O₃(s) + 3CCl₄(l) → 2CrCl₃(s) + 3COCl₂(aq)
The stoichiometry of the equation is how much moles of the substances must react to form the products, and it's represented by the coefficients of the balanced equation. So, 1 mol of Cr₂O₃ must react with 3 moles of CCl₄ to form 2 moles of CrCl₃ and 3 moles of COCl₂.
The stoichiometry calculus must be on a moles basis. The compounds of interest are Cr₂O₃ and CrCl₃. The molar masses of the elements are:
MCr = 52 g/mol
MCl = 35.5 g/mol
MO = 16 g/mol
So, the molar mass of the Cr₂O₃ is = 2x52 + 3x35.5 = 210.5 g/mol.
The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:
n = 49.4/210.5 = 0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃.
For the stoichiometry:
1 mol of Cr₂O₃ ------------------- 2 moles of CrCl₃
0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃----------- x
By a simple direct three rule:
x = 0.4694 moles of CrCl₃
The heat energy breaks down the bonds between the molecules of the solid so the molecules become looser. Further hearing of the liquid causes the bonds to be broken down and the molecules will move further apart.
Answer&Explanation:
The unit used to measure Heat is joule equal to that of Energy and is abbreviated as (J)
