Inside a volcano how do the slanted layers of hardened lava get there

1 answer:

8 0

This is a build up of lava which came out of the volcano in previous eruptions, once this lava came out of the volcano it cooled and hardened, over many eruptions layers of hardened volcanic rock will form. The layers are slanted as gravity acts on the lava so it flows down and a little further from the cone.

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide according to the equation: 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 mol NO2

Explanation:

3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+NO(g)

from reaction 3 mol 1 mol

given 11 mol 3 mol

for 3 mol NO2 ----- 1 mol H2O

for x mol NO2 ----- 3 mol H2O

3:x = 1:3

x = 3 *3/1 = 9 mol NO2

So, for 3 mol H2O are needed only 9 mol NO2.

But we have 11 mol NO2. So, NO2 is in excess, and

11 mol NO2 - 9 mol NO2 = 2 mol NO2 will be left after reaction.

The position of the equilibrium for a system where K = 6.4 × 10 9 can be described as being favoring ________________

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

to the right (products side)

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant K describes the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants at equilibrium. For a general reaction:

a A + b B → c C + d D

The equilibrium constant expression is:

$K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }$

A low value of K indicates that the concentration of products (C and D) is low in relation with the concentration of reactants (A and B).

Conversely, a high value of K indicated that the concentration of products is high compared with the concentration of reactants.

Since K = 6.4 × 10⁹ is a high value, the concentration of products is higher than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. Thus, the position of the equilibrium is favored to the right.
