Answer:

No because the statue is discolored from weathering.

Explanation:

Since the statue was already discolored, that means the substance has been acted upon by a process known as weathering .

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks or dissolving of rocks by the action of rain water, biological activities and temperatures changes. Weathering may be mechanical or chemical . Mechanical weathering live no changes in the overall chemical change of the weathered rock.

Chemical weathering usually occurs when rain water reacts with mineral constituent of rock to form a new minerals like clay and soluble salt. The Chemical changes can be more rapid if the rain water is slightly acidic. The rainwater in the presence of oxygen(oxidation),  because of it acidity may have caused the discoloration of the granite rock. Rain water will likely promotes weathering not the other way round

What is the pH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is that neutral, acidic, or basic? acidic What is the pOH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is
inessss [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

To determine the type of solution, we look at the pH values.

  • The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
  • The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
  • The pH of neutral solution is 7.

We are given:

Concentration of HI = 0.100 M

1 mole of HI produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of iodide ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=0.100M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(0.100)\\\\pH=1

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH + pOH = 14

pOH=14-1=13

Hence, the pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.

For ethanol, propanol, and n-butanol the boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. what is the reason for
Contact [7]
Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.
