Answer: normal fault

A fault refers to a planar or curved fracture in the rocks of the Earth crust, in which compressional or tensional forces results in the displacement of the rock on the opposite side of the fracture. Fault may vary in the length of the fracture. A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall of the rock moves downward to the footwall. It occurs when the two blocks of rock are separated apart by the tensional forces.  

On the basis of the above information, the normal fault is the fault that should be found by the geologists in the rock.

Answer:

normal fault

Explanation:

In geology, faults are places where there are discontinuities in the volume of rocks or the ground, they can be caused by several different reasons the largest faults are created in places where two tectonic plates meet and collide, a normal fault happens when the hangin wall moves downward from the footwall at an angle.

Suppose of barium acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate. Calculate the final molarity of barium cati
ollegr [7]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

   mass of barium acetate = 2.19 g

   volume = 150 ml = 0.150 L    (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

   concentration of the aqueous solution = 0.10 M

Therefore, the reaction equation will be as follows.

        Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + 2C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}

Hence, moles of C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2} = 2 \times Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}  .......... (1)

As,   No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, moles of Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2} will be calculated as follows.                          

     No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}  

                          =  \frac{2.19 g}{255.415 g/mol}   (molar mass of Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2} is 255.415 g/mol)            

                       = 8.57 \times 10^{-3}

    Moles of C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2} = 2 \times 8.57 \times 10^{-3}

                          = 0.01715 mol

Hence, final molarity will be as follows.

              Molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                             = \frac{0.01715 mol}{0.150 L}

                             = 0.114 M

Thus, we can conclude that final molarity of barium cation in the solution is 0.114 M.

In the formula for the compound XCl4, the X could represent<br> (1) C (3) Mg<br> (2) Η (4) Zn
Anvisha [2.4K]
Correct Answer: option 1 i.e. C

Reason: 
The the compound of interest i.e.  XCl4, since there are 4 Cl atoms bonded to X. This signifies that the valency of X is 4.

There atomic number of C is 6. It's electronic configuration is giving by 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, there are 4 electrons in valence shell of C. This signifies that valency of C is 4. Hence the compound present in present case is CCl4.

8moles of Na2Cr2O2 is how much mass​
Margaret [11]

\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{ 1\: mole \:of \:Na_2Cr_2O_2\: = \:it's \:Gram\: Mol. \: mass}} }

\underline{ \mathfrak{ Gram \:molecular \:mass \:of \: \red{ Na_2Cr_2O_2}}}

= 2 × 23 + 2 × 52 + 2 × 16

= 182 grams

1 mole of Na_2Cr_2O_2 weighs = 182 g

8 moles weigh = 8× 182

=\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1456 \: grams}}}}

or

\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1. 46 \:kg }}}}
