The single most important chemical weathering agent is Carbon dioxide.
Weathering refers to the process that change the physical and chemical character of rock at or near the surface. Weathering has a dramatic impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, allowing it to be transformed into limestone and stored in the crust. Without chemical weathering, the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have long made Earth too hot to sustain life.
<span>Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present. The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107.9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu?

Answer:
3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²
Explanation:
We can <u>define ppm as mg of Pb²⁺ per liter of water</u>.
We<u> calculate the mass of lead ion in 100 mL of water</u>:
- 100.0 mL ⇒ 100.0 / 1000 = 0.100 L
- 0.100 L * 0.0080 ppm = 8x10⁻⁴ mg Pb⁺²
Now we <u>convert mass of lead to moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 8x10⁻⁴ mg ⇒ 8x10⁻⁴ / 1000 = 8x10⁻⁷ g
- 8x10⁻⁷ g Pb²⁺ ÷ 207.2 g/mol = 3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²
Answer:
Formation. When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust.
