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

Chemistry
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 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.

When adjusted for any changes in ΔHΔH and ΔSΔS with temperature, the standard free energy change ΔG∘TΔGT∘Delta G_{T}^{\circ} at
STALIN [3.7K]

The equilibrium constant is 0.0022.

Explanation:

The values given in the problem is

ΔG° = 1.22 ×10⁵ J/mol

T = 2400 K.

R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

The Gibbs free energy should be minimum for a spontaneous reaction and equilibrium state of any reaction is spontaneous reaction. So on simplification, the thermodynamic properties of the equilibrium constant can be obtained as related to Gibbs free energy change at constant temperature.

The relation between Gibbs free energy change with equilibrium constant is ΔG° = -RT ln K

So, here K is the equilibrium constant. Now, substitute all the given values in the corresponding parameters of the above equation.

We get,

1.22 * 10^{5} = - 8.314* 2400 * ln K

\\ 1.22 * 10^{5} = -19953.6 * ln K

ln K = \frac{-1.22*10^{5} }{19953.6} =-6.114\\\\k =e^{-6.114}=0.0022

So, the equilibrium constant is 0.0022.

Dustin is mixing concrete. A formula for concrete calls for 3/8 gal of water. Dustin wants to make 7/9 more concrete than the fo
slava [35]
We can use a ratio to solve this question. Lets refer to the amount formed by the formula as a serving
1 serving needs 3/8 gal
We want to create 7/9 servings extra, so
1 + 7/9 = 16/7
1 : 3/8
16/7 : x
1/(3/8) = (16/7) / x
8 / 3 = 16x / 7
x = 7/6
He needs to use 7/6 gallons of water.

If an element has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass number of 18, would it be an isotope? Why or why not?
hoa [83]

Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.

HELP ME WITH ONE OR BOTH OF THESE QUEATIONS PLEASEEEE
marta [7]

Answer:

2. 181.25 K.

3. 0.04 atm.

Explanation:

2. Determination of the temperature.

Number of mole (n) = 2.1 moles

Pressure (P) = 1.25 atm

Volume (V) = 25 L

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Temperature (T) =?

The temperature can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

1.25 × 25 = 2.1 × 0.0821 × T

31.25 = 0.17241 × T

Divide both side by 0.17241

T = 31.25 / 0.17241

T = 181.25 K

Thus, the temperature is 181.25 K.

3. Determination of the pressure.

Number of mole (n) = 10 moles

Volume (V) = 5000 L

Temperature (T) = –10 °C = –10 °C + 273 = 263 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure (P) =?

The pressure can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

P × 5000 = 10 × 0.0821 × 263

P × 5000 = 215.923

Divide both side by 5000

P = 215.923 / 5000

P = 0.04 atm

Thus, the pressure is 0.04 atm

How many molecules in a mole?​
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant.
