Answer:

They become ductile and deform plastically

Explanation:

When rocks are buried by the materials up to a greater depth, then the confining pressure increases significantly. This results in the ductile behavior of the rocks at such depth. These rocks are present in the ductile region where the depth is about more than 20 to 30 km. Here the rocks are subjected to extremely high pressure and temperature conditions, which favors the transformation of rocks into more higher-grade metamorphic rocks. It is also enhanced due to the geothermal gradient.

Under such high pressure and temperature, the rocks show the behavior of plasticity, where the rocks undergo bending, buckling as well as they tend to flow, and there occurs low strain rate, resulting in the permanent deformation of rocks.

Thus, the rocks become ductile and deform plastically at such conditions.

Why must there be two chlorine atoms for every one calcium atom
Nady [450]

Answer:

There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.

<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>

Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

In a sample containing a mixture of only these gases at exactly one atmosphere pressure, the partial pressures of carbon dioxide
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressure of a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases:

ΣP_g_a_s = P_1+P_2+P_3+...+P_n

The prompt is trying to confuse you, but it actually tells us the pressure of the mixture to be 1 atm, but this can be converted to torr. Furthermore, we are informed only three gases are in the mixture: diatomic nitrogen, diatomic oxygen, and carbon dioxide:

P_g_a_s=1 \ atm = 760 \ torr= P_N_2+P_O_2+P_C_O_2\\760 \ torr = 582.008 \ torr + P_O_2 \ + 0.285 \ torr

Solve for Po2:

P_o_2=(760-582.008-0.285) \ torr = 177.707 \ torr

Thus, the partial pressure of diatomic oxygen is 177.707 torr.

At 350 k, kc = 0.142 for the reaction 2 brcl(g) ⇀↽ br2(g) + cl2(g) an equilibrium mixture at this temperature contains equal con
djyliett [7]
0.114 mol/l  
The equilibrium equation will be: 
Kc = ([Br2][Cl2])/[BrCl]^2  
The square factor for BrCl is due to the 2 coefficient on that side of the equation.  
Now solve for BrCl, substitute the known values and calculate. 
Kc = ([Br2][Cl2])/[BrCl]^2 
[BrCl]^2 * Kc = ([Br2][Cl2]) 
[BrCl]^2 = ([Br2][Cl2])/Kc 
[BrCl] = sqrt(([Br2][Cl2])/Kc)  
[BrCl] = sqrt(0.043 mol/l * 0.043 mol/l / 0.142) 
[BrCl] = sqrt(0.001849 mol^2/l^2 / 0.142) 
[BrCl] = sqrt(0.013021127 mol^2/l^2) 
[BrCl] = 0.114110152 mol/l  
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.114 mol/l

If 42.8 mL of 0.204 M HCl solution is needed to neutralize a solution of Ca(OH)2, how many grams of Ca(OH)2 must be in the solut
Aneli [31]

Hey There!

At neutralisation moles of H⁺ from HCl  = moles of OH⁻ from Ca(OH)2  so :

0.204 * 42.8 / 1000  => 0.0087312 moles

Moles of Ca(OH)2 :

2 HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2 H2O

0.0087312 / 2 => 0.0043656 moles (  since each Ca(OH)2 ives 2 OH⁻ ions )

Therefore:

Molar mass Ca(OH)2 = 74.1 g/mol

mass = moles of Ca(OH)2 * molar mass

mass =  0.0043656 * 74.1

mass = 0.32 g of Ca(OH)2


Hope that helps!

The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid lysine are 2.2, 9.1, and 10.5, respectively. The pK1, pK2, and pKR of the amino acid arg
almond37 [142]

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) = 9,8

For arginine:

pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) = 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, <em>pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
