Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock, while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering happens when the chemicals get diluted and dissolved in water and seep and percolate down the rock surfaces.

Physical weathering happens when rocks are fragmented into minor fragments while ensuring no alterations in their chemical makeup. The main causes behind physical weathering include spontaneous fluctuations in temperature like too high or too low heat or cold

A 80.0 g piece of metal at 88.0°C is placed in 125 g of water at 20.0°C contained in a calorimeter. The metal and water come to

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of the piece of metal = 80.0 grams

Mass of the water = 125 grams

Initial temperature of the metal = 88.0 °C

Initial temperature of water =20.0 °C

Final temperature = 24.7 °C

pecific heat of water is 4.18 J/g*°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate specific heat of the metal

Qgained = -Qlost

Q =m*c*ΔT

Qwater = - Qmetal

m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water) = -m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal)

with mass of water = 125 grams

with c( water) = 4.18 J/g°C

with ΔT(water) = T2-T1 = 24.7 - 20 = 4.7°C

with mass of metal = 80.0 grams

with c(metal) = TO BE DETERMINED

with ΔT(metal) = 24.7 - 88.0 = -63.3 °C

125*4.18*4.7 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

2455.75 = -80 * C(metal) * -63.3

C(metal) = 2455.75 / (-80*-63.3)

C(metal) = 0.485 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.485 J/g°C

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68

FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.

P $_{T}$ = total pressure

P $_{Ne}$ = pressure of neon

P $_{Ar}$ = pressure of argon

P $_{He}$ = pressure of helium {which is required}

P $_{T}$ = P $_{Ne}$ + P $_{Ar}$ + P $_{He}$

1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 + P $_{He}$

P $_{He}$ = 1.25 - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm

What is the percent composition of chlorine in the compound Ba(ClO3)2?

tia_tia [17]

You're going to divide the mass of chlorine within the compound by the mass of the compound, and then multiply the result by 100 to get the answer
