How is clay deposited to form shale?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction of silt and clay-size mineral particles that we commonly call "mud." This composition places shale in a category of sedimentary rocks known as "mudstones." ... "Fissile" means that the rock readily splits into thin pieces along the laminations.

Which beakers in the model contain solid insoluble substances?

ladessa [460]

Although the models are not provided, I was able to find them and the beakers with solid present in them are:
1C
2A
2C
3A
3C

This is determined by the fact that the beakers all have a piece of closely packed substance laying at the bottom. This closely packed lattice is characteristic of solid substances, and the fact that they exist in the solution in the solid states indicates that they are insoluble.

What is the balanced NET ionic equation for the reaction when aqueous Cs₃PO₄ and aqueous AgNO₃ are mixed in solution to form sol

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the net ionic equation of a chemical reaction shows up the ionic species that result from the simplification of the spectator ions, which are those at both reactants and products sides, we take into account that aqueous species ionize into ions whereas liquid, solid and gas species remain unionized. In such a way, for the reaction of cesium phosphate and silver nitrate we can write the complete molecular equation:

$Cs_3PO_4(aq)+3AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)+3CsNO_3(aq)$

Whereas the three aqueous salts are ionized in order to write the following complete ionic equation:

$3Cs^+(aq)+PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)+3Cs^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)$

In such a way, since the cesium and nitrate ions are the spectator ions because of the aforementioned, the net ionic equation turns out:

$PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Ag_3PO_4(s)$

Best regards!
