How does sand cause weathering?

Sand doesn't directly cause weathering because sand is made via weathering. When rocks get weathered they become sand. But maybe when the sand and wind work together they might be able to weather some rocks

Sand is used to cause weathering but it alone does not cause weathering. (Pretty sure)

when methane reacts with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of carbon dilxide are formed if 30 g

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O

Moles of oxygen=3232=1

Moles of carbon dioxide=4422=0.5

Moles of water=1818=1

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen to give 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of water so 0.5 mole of methane will be required which is equal to 0.5×16=8g.

Which characteristic is found in liquids and gases? A. Has a fixed volume B. Particles stay in a fixed position C. No particle m

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D.

Explanation:

A. Has a fixed volume This is not the right answer, liquids and gases take the shape of the container in which they are.

B. Particles stay in a fixed position This answer is wrong, this characteristic is of solids but not of liquids and gases.

C. No particle movement This characteristic is also of solids, in liquids and gases the particles can move.

D. Takes the shape of the container. This is the right answer, liquids and gases take the shape of the container.

4. Consider the following half-reactions: MnO4–(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e– → Mn+2(aq) + 4H2O(l) NO3–(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e– → NO(g) + 2H2O

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

The chemical reaction given in the question is as follows -

MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ (aq) + 4H₂O (l)

NO₃⁻ (aq) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 3e⁻ → NO (g) + 2H₂O (l)

As we know , the value for reduction potential are -

Mn²⁺ = + 1.51 V

NO₃⁻ = +0.96 V

From , the data given above , the value of the reduction potential of NO₃⁻ is less than the reduction potential of Mn²⁺ .

Hence ,

NO₃⁻ can not oxidize Mn²⁺ .

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy . If the rate

vovangra [49]

Answer:

K2 = 61.2 M^-1.S^-1

Explanation:

We complete the question fully:

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?

Answer is as follows:

The question asks us to calculate the value of the rate constant at a certain temperature, given that it is at a particular value for a particular temperature. We solve the question as follows:

According to Arrhenius equation, the relationship between temperature and activation energy is as follows:

k = Ae^-(Ea/RT)

where, k = rate constant

A = pre-exponential factor

Ea = activation energy

R = gas constant

T = temperature in kelvin

From the equation, the following was derived for a double temperature problem:

ln(k2/k1) = (-Ea/R) * (1/T1 - 1/T2)

We list out the parameters as follows:

T1= (244 + 273.15) K = 517.15 K

T2= (324+ 273.15) K =597.15 K

K1 = 6.7 , K2 = ?

R = 8.314 J/mol K

Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows:

ln(k2/6.7) = (-71000/8.314) * (1/517.15 - 1/597.15)

lnk2 - 1.902 = 8539.8 * 0.000259

lnK2 = 1.902 + 2.21

lnK2 = 4.114

K2 = e^(4.114)

K2 = 61.2

Hence, K2 = 61.2 (M.S)^-1
