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.

5. What is the partial pressure of the remaining gas, if the total is 384 torr 2
alexgriva [62]

Answer: 83.11 torr

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 384 torr

P1 = 289 torr

P2 = 11.89 torr

P3 = ? (let the partial pressure of the remaining gas be Z)

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + Z

384 torr = 289 torr + 11.89 torr + Z

384 torr = 300.89 torr + Z

Z = 384 torr - 300.89 torr

Z = 83.11 torr

Thus, the partial pressure of the remaining gas is 83.11 torr.

Why chemically did the prescribing of thalidomide for morning sickness in pregnant women lead to tragic consequences, including
Dominik [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.

The drug was sold as a racemic mixture  (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.

Unfortunately, only the  (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.

This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.

Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
