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.

Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 61.9 g of carbon dioxide
ELEN [110]

Answer:

20.4g

Explanation:

First, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction of butane to produce carbon dioxide.

When butane undergo Combustion, it will produce carbon dioxide and water as shown below:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H2O

Molar Mass of C4H10 = (12x4) + (10x1) = 48 + 10 = 58g/mol

Mass of C4H10 from the balanced equation = 2 x 58 = 116g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 8 x 44 = 352g

From the equation,

116g of C4H10 produced 352g of CO2.

Therefore, Xg of C4H10 will produce 61.9g of CO2 i.e

Xg of C4H10 = (61.9 x 116)/352 = 20.4g

Therefore, 20.4g of butane(C4H10) is needed to produce 61.9g of CO2

How much heat is required to convert 422 g of liquid h2o at 23.5 °c into steam at 150 °c?
Misha Larkins [42]
Heat is given by multiplying the specific heat capacity of a substance by mass and the change in temperature. The heat capacity of water is Approximately 4184 J/K/C.
Therefore, heat = mc0 mass in kg
                         = (422/1000) × 4184 × (100-23.5)
                         = 135072.072 J
Latent heat of vaporization is 2260 kJ/kg
Thus the heat will be 0.422 × 2260000 = 953720 J
Heat to raise steam from 100 to 150 
    2000 × 0.422 ×50 = 42200 J
Thus the heat required is (135072.072 + 953720 + 42200) = 1330992.07 Joules or 1330 kilo joules

A solution of sodium acetate (ch3coona) in water is weakly basic. <br> a. True <br> b. False
guajiro [1.7K]
Hello!

The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:

Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:

CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻

This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.

Have a nice day!
