Answer:

Lower layer is older than the upper layer

Explanation:

The unconformity is defined as the time of non-deposition. In simple words, it a contact surface between the older and younger sedimentary type of rocks, that results from the erosion particles over a specific period of time.

These sediments are deposited over one another over a due course of time, forming sedimentary rock sequences due to the compaction and lithification process. From the sequences it can be determined that the layers of rock that are at the bottom are considered to be the oldest layers, whereas the layers that are on the top are the younger layers. This is also known as the law of Superposition.

Hence, the lower layers are older than the upper layers.

A 8.00 L tank at 26.9 C is filled with 5.53 g of dinitrogen difluoride gas and 17.3 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas. You can assume

pshichka [43]

Answer:

mole fraction of N_2 O = 0.330

mole of fraction SF_4 = 0.669

PRESSURE OF N_2 O = 39127.053 Pa

pressure of SF_4 = 792126.36

Total pressure = 118253.413 Pa

Explanation:

Given data:

volume of tank 8 L

Weight of dinitrogen difluoride gas 5.53 g

weight of sulphur hexafluoride gas 17.3 g

Amount of $N_2 O = \frac{5.53}{14*2 + 16} = 0.1256 mol$

amount of $SF_4 = \frac{17.3}{32.1 + 19*4} = 0.254 mol$

mole fraction of $N_2 O = \frac{0.1256}{0.1256 + 0.254} = 0.330$

mole of fraction $SF_4 = \frac{0.254}{0.1256 + 0.254} = 0.669$

PV = nRT

P of N_2 O $= \frac{0.1256 *8.31 (273 + 26.9}{0.008} = 39127.053 Pa$

mole of SF_4 $=\frac{0.254 *8.31*(273+26.9)}{.008} = 79126.36 Pa$

Total pressure = 39127.053 + 79126.36 = 118253.413 Pa

How many carbon atoms are represented by the model below<br><br> A) 0<br> B) 3<br> C) 2<br> D) 1

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Option (B) 3.

Explanation:

In the model represented above, the two extreme represent carbon atoms since no other group are attached to it. The joint at the middle also represent carbon atom.

Thus, we can write a more simplify illustration for the model above as

C—C—C

From the above illustration, we can see that the model contains 3 carbon atom.

A race car is driven by a professional driver at 99 . What is this speed in and ? 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers 1 hour = 60 minutes E

slavikrds [6]

Answer: The speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

Explanation:

Given, The speed of a race car = 99 miles/ hour

To convert the speed into kilometers per hour and kilometers per minute

Since 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers

So, Speed of car = (99 ) x (1.61 )

= 159.39 kilometers per hour.

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, Speed of car = (159.39) ÷60

= 2.6565≈2.65 kilometer per minute.

Hence, the speed is equivalent to <u>159.39 kilometers per hour </u>or <u>2.65 kilometers per minute.</u>

A site in Pennsylvania receives a total annual deposition of 2.688 g/mof sulfate from fertilizer and acid rain. The ratio by mas

sertanlavr [38]

According to the statement

2.12 x 10^4 lbs pounds of CaCO₃ are needed to neutralize this acid

<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>

A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other is known as neutralization or neutralization. In a water reaction, neutralization ensures that there is no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in the solution.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

The equation of the neutralization reaction between H2SO4 and CaCO3.

CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2CO3

H2CO3 dissociate to water and carbon dioxide.

CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2

Now solving for the mass of CaCO3 needed to neutralize the acid.

mass of CaCO3 = 9460 Kg H2SO4 × $\frac{1000 \mathrm{~g}}{1 \mathrm{~kg}} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO} 4}{98.1 \mathrm{gH}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CaCO}\left(\mathrm{O}_3\right.}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4}$ $\times \frac{100.1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CaCO}_3}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CaCO}_3} \times \frac{2.205 \mathrm{lb}}{1000 \mathrm{~g}}$

= 21284.56606

mass of CaCO3 = 2.12 x 10^4 lbs

2.12 x 10^4 lbs pounds of CaCO₃ are needed to neutralize this acid.
