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.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.60 mol H2/mol C2H2. The reaction proceeds to comple
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

C₂H₂     +   2H₂   =     C₂H₆

1 mole     2 mole        1 mole

Feed of reactant is 1.6 mole H₂ / mole C₂H₂

or 1.6 mole of H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

required ratio as per chemical reaction written above

2 mole of  H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

So H₂ is in short supply . Hence it is limiting reagent .

1.6 mole of H₂ will react with half of 1.6 mole or .8 mole of C₂H₂ to form .8 mole of C₂H₆

a )Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio =  mole H₂ reacted/mole C₂H₂ reacted

= 1.6 / .8 = 2 .

b )

yield ratio = mole C₂H₆ formed / mole H₂ reacted ) = 0.8 / 1.6 = 1/2 = 0.5 .

The atomic number of lead (Pb) is 82. Its mass number is 207. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does this neutral atom o
AveGali [126]
An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.
