What are some biological processes that are sensitive to pH changes?

Salt domes result when: 1. inland seas dry 2.the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise 3. a layer of sedimentary sa

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.

Which of the following statements about trends in solubility is accurate?

Kipish [7]

"The solubility of gases decreases as temperature rises" statements about trends in solubility is accurate.

Option: D

Explanation:

A substance's solubility is the quantity of that component that is needed at a defined degree of temperature to produce a saturated solution in any set quantity of solvent. Some compounds like hydrochloric acid, ammonia, etc have solubility that reduces with rising temperature. They are both standard-pressure gases.

When heating a solvent with a gas absorbed in it, both the solvent and the solute spike in the kinetic energy.When the gaseous solute's kinetic energy rises, the molecules have a higher propensity to overcome the solvent molecules' connection and migrate to the gas phase. Thus, a gas's solubility reduces with rising temperature.

combustion analysis of a hydrocarbon produced 33.01g CO2 and 13.51g H2O. Calculate the empirical formula for the hydrocarbon

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$\rm CH_2$ .

Explanation:

Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ . The $\rm C$ and $\rm H$ would come from the hydrocarbon, while the $\rm O$ atoms would come from oxygen.

Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:

$\rm C$ : $12.011$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $\rm 15.999$ .

Calculate the molar mass of $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ :

$M(\mathrm{CO_2}) = 12.011 + 2 \times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 2 \times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm CO_2$ molecules in $33.01\; \rm g$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CO_2}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CO_2})}{M(\mathrm{CO2})} = \frac{33.01\; \rm g}{44.009\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

Similarly, calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ molecules in $13.51\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{13.51\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7499\; \rm mol$ .

Note that there is one carbon atom in every $\rm CO_2$ molecule. Approximately $0.7501\; \rm mol$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ molecules would correspond to the same number of $\rm C$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{C}) \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every $\rm H_2O$ molecule. approximately $0.7499\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2O$ molecules would correspond to twice as many $\rm H\!$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 2 \times 0.7499 \; \rm mol\approx 1.500\; \rm mol$ .

The ratio between the two is: $n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 1:2$ .

The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be $\rm CH_2$ .

What element has an r.m.m of 72

igomit [66]

Answer:

Germanium

Explanation:

The element Germanium is one with a relative molecular mass of 72. This corresponds to the mass number of this element.

Relative molecular mass of an element is the mass of a formula unit to that of a carbon-12 atom.

The chemical symbol of Germanium is Ge. It is a lustrous and hard metalloid belonging to the carbon group.

It was discovered by Clemens Alexander Winkler.

Water molecules tend to stick to one another by _____.

ser-zykov [4K]

Each water molecule consists of two atoms of the element hydrogen joined to one atom of the element oxygen. An interesting property of water is the ability of its molecules to “stick together.” This occurs because one side of each water molecule is slightly negative and the other side is slightly positive. The positive portion of a water molecule is attracted to the negative portion of an adjacent water molecule. As a result, water molecules are called polar molecules. They attract other water molecules like little magnets. It is most likely ionic bonding but between hydrogen and oxygen it is covalent.
