Why do we consider diamonds a kind of metamorphic rock?

1 answer:

6 0

This is because the minerals that make up the rocks form only at certain temperatures and pressures. At high temperatures or pressures, the elements will rearrange their crystal structure to form a different mineral. Graphite and diamond are two minerals that are both made entirely out of carbon.

A gas at 300 k and 4.0 atm is moved to a new loacation with a temperature of 250 k. The volume changes from 5.5 L to 2.0 L. What

alexgriva [62]

Answer is: <span>the pressure of the gas is 9,2 atm.
</span>p₁ = 4,0 atm.
T₁ = 300 K.
V₁ = 5,5 L.
p₂ = ?
T₂ = 250 K.
V₂ = 2,0 L.
Use combined gas law - the volume of amount of gas is proportional to the ratio of its Kelvin temperature and its pressure.<span>
</span>p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂.
4 atm · 5,5 L ÷ 300 K = p₂ · 2,0 L ÷ 250 K.
0,0733 = 0,008p₂.
p₂ = 9,2 atm.

Which of the following is NOT true regarding Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment?

erastova [34]

Answer:

The area around the nucleus must be of low mass.

Explanation:

Rutherford`s experiment showed that there are some positive charges in the center of the atoms, and because they are all together, they will give a great mass to the atom.

It was quite different from Thomson`s experiment, in which it was thought that the negative charges were mixed with the positive charges, around the atom (like a Pudding Model). In Rutherford`s experiment, because the direction of beta particles, it was the prediction of the positive nucleus.

Hope this info is useful.

Determine whether you can swim in 1.00 x 10^27 molecules of water.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We can not swim in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water

Explanation:

The given number of molecules of water = 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules

The Avogadro's number, $N_A$ , gives the number of molecules in one mole of a substance

$N_A$ ≈ 6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Therefore

Therefore, we have;

The number of moles of water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules, n = (The number of molecules of water) ÷ $N_A$

∴ n = (1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules)/(6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol) = 1,660.53902857 moles

The mass of one mole of water = The molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass, 'm', of water in 1,660.53902857 moles of water is given as follows;

Mass = (The number of moles of the substance) × (The molar mass of the substance)

∴ The mass of the water in the given quantity of water, m = 1,660.53902857 moles × 18.01528 g/mol ≈ 29.9150756 kg.

The density pf water, ρ = 997 kg/m³

Volume = Mass/Density

∴ The volume of the water present in the given quantity of water, v = 29.9150756 kg/(997 kg/m³) ≈ 30.0050909 liters

The volume of the water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water ≈ 30.0 liters

The average volume of a human body = 62 liters

Therefore, we can not swim in the given quantity of 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules = 30.0 liters water
