Which two rocks are primarily composed of a mineral that bubbles with acid?

1 answer:

8 0

To most geologists, the term "acid test" means placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon dioxide gas to be released. The bubbles signal the presence of carbonate minerals such ascalcite, dolomite, or one of the minerals listed in Table 1.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

Answer: The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{c}$ is written as:

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

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of $K_c$ = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

For the given images:

For a:

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16$

For b:

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2$

For c:

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6$

For d:

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

The crack shown in the lithosphere was created by the movement of two or more tectonic plates. What is this crack called

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The lithosphere is made up of pieces of tectonic plates. These plates are constantly changing and move towards the mantle. Non-stop movement of tectonic plates causes stress on the earth's outermost layer i.e,the crust. When these stresses extends it leads to cause cracks called faults.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.
