The size of the rocks

Explanation:

One key factor in the rate of chemical weathering is the size of the rocks. The rate of chemical weathering like other chemical reaction depends on the size of the rocks.

  • Chemical weathering is the decomposition and decay of rocks.
  • In chemical weathering,  a rock unit undergoes a chemical change.
  • For an effective chemical weathering of a rock, physical disintegration of a rock piece must have occurred first.
  • The surface area exposed proportionally affects the rate of chemical weathering.
  • Smaller chunks of rocks have a large surface area and they are weathered faster.

What does the simplified model of the hall effect give for the density of free electrons in the unknown metal?
evablogger [386]
The simplified model of the hall effect proved that the current (electric) in metals are carried by electrons and not protons. The hall effect introduced the hall coefficient which is the ratio of the induced electric field to the current density x applied magnetic field. This coefficient is unique for each type of metal.

Elemental sulfur is one of the products of the gas-phase reaction of nitric acid and hydrogen sulfide. The other
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The manufacturing processes for liquefied petroleum gas are designed so that the majority, if not all, of the sulfur compounds are removed. The total sulfur level is therefore considerably lower than for other crude oil-based fuels and a maximum limit for sulfur content helps to define the product more completely. The sulfur compounds that are mainly responsible for corrosion are hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and, sometimes, elemental sulfur. Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans have distinctive unpleasant odors. A control of the total sulfur content, hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans ensures that the product is not corrosive or nauseating. Stipulating a satisfactory copper strip test further ensures the control of the corrosion.
