How does weathering change rock and minerals

2 answers:

4 0

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away.

Weathering is the process of breaking large rocks and boulders into much smaller ones. Weathering can be brought about by wind and water mostly. Sometimes even biological forces account for some types of weathering.

Explanation:

Pipet is used to dispense a very small amount of liquid.

Test tube rack is used to hold multiple test tubes at the same time.

Test Table is used to view chemical reactions or hold or heat small amounts of substance.

Scoopula is used to dispense chemicals from a larger container.

Graduated cylinder is used to measure volume very precisely.

Bunsen burner is used to heat objects.

Beaker is used to transport heat or store substance.

Spot plate is used to observe the color changes of small quantities of a reacting mixture.

Goggles are used to protect the eyes from flying objects or chemical splashes.

Classify the outcomes based on whether they are caused by adding or removing a reactant from a chemical reaction. The rate of th

Mama L [17]

Explanation: To study the outcomes, we will apply Le-Chatelier's principle.

Le-Chatelier's principle states that if there is any disturbance in the conditions of the dynamic equilibrium, the position of equilibrium will counteract the change.

1) The rate of the forward reaction increases.

This will happen when we add the reactant to a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by increasing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, forward reaction is favored.

2) The rate of the revere reaction increases.

This will happen when we remove the reactant from a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by removing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, reverse reaction is favored.

3) The concentration of product increases.

This will happen when we add reactants to a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, when we increase the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the forward direction which means that the concentration of product will increase.

4) The concentration of products decreases.

This will happen when we remove reactants from a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, when we decrease the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the reverse direction which means that the concentration of reactants will increase or concentration of products will decrease.

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:

H₂ (g) ; that is: a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is: 1.00794 g ;

(From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of: H₂ (g) is:

" 1.00794 g * 2 = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So: " 5.7 L H₂ (g) $* \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;$

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ; since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

[5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4 = ? g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516 g ] / 22.4 =

0.53554248214 g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to: " 0.54 g " ;

→ since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;

22.4 is an exact number conversion;

and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

" 2.104588 " ; or: " 1.00794 " .

→ as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."
