Why does a permeable rock weather chemically at a fast rate?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Water soaks into it easily and during freeze-thaw cycles would be more likely to break apart because of the water freezing and thawing inside the rock. The water freezes and expands inside the rock, causing the surface to break off in flakes from the pressure of the expanding ice inside.</span>

Elemental Li and Na are prepared by electrolysis of a molten salt, whereas K, Rb, and Cs are prepared by chemical reduction.(c)

pishuonlain [190]

Calcium is used to isolate Rb from molten RbX because calcium has a smaller atomic radius than rubidium.

A chemical element's atomic radius, which is typically the average or typical distance between the nucleus's core and the outermost isolated electron, serves as a gauge for the size of an atom. There are numerous non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius since the border is not a clearly defined physical entity. Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, metallic radius, and covalent radius are the four most frequently used definitions of atomic radius. Atomic radii are typically measured in a chemically bound condition since it is challenging to isolated individual atoms in order to measure their radii individually.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
[DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

A can contains a gas with a volume of 86 mL at 30oC. What is the volume in the can if it is heated to 65oC?

Ber [7]

Answer:

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Old volume of gas = 86 ml

Old temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

New temperature = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338 K

Find:

New volume of gas

Computation:

V1T2 = V2T1

(86)(338) = (V2)(303)

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)
