Answer:

Rocks are the aggregate of minerals. There are three distinct categories of rocks, namely the sedimentary, metamorphic and the igneous rocks.

  • The sedimentary rocks are formed from the deposition, compaction, and lithification of soft sediments that are transported from one place to another by the agents such as wind, water, and ice. For example, Sandstone and Shale.
  • The metamorphic rocks are derived from the previously existing sedimentary, igneous or other metamorphic rocks, due to the influence of extremely high pressure as well as temperature conditions. For example, Quartzite and Marble.
  • The igneous rocks are those rocks that are formed from the cooling and crystallization of magma. For example, Granite and Diorite.

All these three types of rocks are formed by different processes and their mode of origins are also different.

belka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can calculate the volume  of the oxygen molecule as the radius of oxygen molecule is given as 2×10⁻¹⁰m.

We know that volume=4/3×πr³

volume =4/3×π(2.0×10⁻¹⁰m)³

volume=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

Volume of oxygen molecule=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

we know the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

k=R/Na

R=k×Na

PV=n×k×Na×T

n×Na=N

PV=Nkt

p is pressure of gas

v is volume  of gas

T is temperature of gas

N is numbetr of molecules

Na is avagadros number

k is boltzmann constant =1.38×10⁻²³J/K

R is real gas constant

So to calculate pressure using the  formula;

PV=NkT

P=NkT/V

Since there is only one molecule of oxygen so N=1

P=[1×1.38×10⁻²³J/K×300]/[33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

p=12.39×10⁷Pascal

A solution contains 15 grams of salt per litter of solution. How many grams of salt are in 3.3 litters of solution?​
Verizon [17]

49.5g

Explanation:

Mass of salt = 15g

Volume of solution = 1L

Volume of given solution = 3.3L

Unknown:

Mass of salt in the solution = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the concentration of the salt in the solution, we can use it to solve the problem.

Concentration; 15g/L

Given;

    In 1L of the solution we have 15g of salt,

In    3.3L of the solution we will have 3.3 x 15 = 49.5g

The salt is the solute and it represents the dissolved substances.
