Rocks at Earth's surface are attacked by rain and wind. They are also attacked by ice. Pieces of rock are broken off. This is called weathering. it happens over thousands of years.

There are two main ways in which rock breaks down to form soil:

Physical weathering

Chemical weathering

density of a piece of ebony wood is 1.174 g/ml. what is the volume in quarts of a 2.1549 lb piece of this ebony wood?

lapo4ka [179]

0.88qt

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of ebony wood = 1.174g/ml

Mass of wood = 2.1549lb

Unknown:

Volume of the wood in quarts = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Mass is the quantity of matter the wood contains.

Volume is the space it occupies.

To solve this problem, convert the mass form pounds into grams and plug into the density equation to find volume.

Then convert the volume from mL to quarts.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Volume = $\frac{mass}{density}$

1 pound = 453.592g

2.1549 lb = 2.1549 x 453.592 = 977.5g

Volume = $\frac{977.5}{1.174}$ = 832.6mL

1 quart = 946.353mL

Therefore 832.6mL x $\frac{1qt}{946.353}$ = 0.88qt

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇋ PCl5(g) Kc = 91.0 at 400 K. What is the [Cl2] at equilibrium if the initial concentrations were 0.24 M for PC

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

[Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.26 M

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇋ PCl₅(g)

Kc = 91

So let's analyse, all the process:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇋ PCl₅(g)

Initially 0.24 M 1.50M 0.12 M

React x x x

Some amount of compound has reacted during the process.

In equilibrium we have

0.24 - x 1.50 - x 0.12 + x

As initially we have moles of product, in equilibrium we have to sum them.

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = [PCl₅] / [Cl₂] . [PCl₃]

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.24 - x) ( 1.50 - x)

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²)

91 (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²) = (0.12 + x)

32.76 - 158.34x + 91x² = 0.12 +x

32.64 - 159.34x + 91x² = 0

This a quadratic function:

a = 91; b= -159.34; c = 32.64

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Solution 1 = 1.5

Solution 2 = 0.23 (This is our value)

So [Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.50 - 0.23 = 1.26 M
