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 pair has identical electron configurations?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:

S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹

Which of the following shows 3x + 15 + 6x – 7 + y in simplest terms?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

9x+y+8

Explanation:

We know this because you add 3x and 6x to get 9x

then we only have one y so put y by itself then subtract 15 and y which gets us 8

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{2.20 g Pb}}$

Explanation:

They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 239.27 32.00 207.2

2PbS + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Pb + 2SO₃

m/g: 2.54 1.88

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{Moles of PbS} = \text{2.54 g PbS } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol PbS}}{\text{239.27 g PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS}\\\\\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.88 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2}$

3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant

$\textbf{From PbS:}\\\text{Moles of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{2 mol PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb}\\\\\textbf{From O}_{2}:\\\text{Moles of Pb} =\text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{3 mol O}_{2}}= \text{0.039 17 mol Pb}\\\\\text{PbS is the $\textbf{limiting reactant}$ because it gives fewer moles of Pb}$

4. Calculate the mass of Pb

$\text{ Mass of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb} \times \dfrac{\text{207.2 g Pb}}{\text{1 mol Pb}} = \textbf{2.20 g Pb}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.20 g Pb}}$}$
