Heat and pressure deep in the earth change shale to slate. Why does this happen?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dedylja [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because of the ground above and the molten iron core.

Explanation:

As you go deeper into the earth you have more and more of the earth above you that applies pressure on you. The heat near the very top of the plate is relatively low and it decreases by a little as you go down. But once you start to go down into the earth by hundreds of meters then the temperature starts to rise and it rises pretty quickly due to the heat being transferred from the molten iron outer core of the earth.

How does the density of aluminum compare with the density of gold
rewona [7]
Gold has a very high density of about 19.32g/cm^3 while Aluminum has a low density of 2.7 gm/cm^3 which means gold can pack more amount of matter in a comparatively small space as compared to Aluminum.

Gold forms a substitutional solid solution with silver. Compute the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeter for a silver-gold
Mama L [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of gold atoms per cubic centimeters in the given alloy is 1.83\times 10^{22}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeters for te given silver-gold alloy, we use the equation:

N_{Au}=\frac{N_AC_{Au}}{(\frac{C_{Au}M_{Au}}{\rho_{Au}})+(\frac{M_{Au}(100-C_{Au})}{\rho_{Ag}})}

where,

N_{Au} = number of gold atoms per cubic centimeters

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}atoms/mol

C_{Au} = Mass percent of gold in the alloy = 42 %

\rho_{Au} = Density of pure gold = 19.32g/cm^3

\rho_{Ag} = Density of pure silver = 10.49g/cm^3

M_{Au = molar mass of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

N_{Au}=\frac{(6.022\times 10^{23}atoms/mol)\times 48\%}{(\frac{48\%\times 196.97g/mol}{19.32g/cm^3})+(\frac{196.97g/mol\times 58\%}{10.49g/cm^3})}\\\\N_{Au}=1.83\times 10^{22}atoms/cm^3

Hence, the number of gold atoms per cubic centimeters in the given alloy is 1.83\times 10^{22}

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.

Explanation:

The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:

 _            _

| F |        | F |

   \          /

        B

         |

      | F |

       ---

It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.

Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1

By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)
