Answer:

C. Weathering, erosion, and uplift occur at the same rates now as they did in the past.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one remembers the concept of uniformitarianism as everything that has been happening at the same rate through the whole geological time scale until the nowadays. In such a way, one concludes everything changes at the same rate all of the time.

In such manner, based on the uniformitarianism, the processes of weathering, erosion, and uplift occur in the present at the same rate as they have been occurring during the earlier years (past), nonetheless, this concept has not been widely adopted, as there are a lot of proofs unvalidating it.

Best regards.

How many grams are in 2.40 moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

96g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaOH = 2.4moles

Unknown:

Mass of NaOH = ?

Solution:

The mass of a substance given the number of moles can be found using the expression below;

Mass of NaOH = Number of moles x molar mass;

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Now input the parameters and solve;

Mass of NaOH = 2.4 x 40 = 96g

How many grams of sulfuric acid are needed to produce 57.0 grams of water? Show all steps of your calculation as well as the fin

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

155.16 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, It is considered as a stichiometry problem.

From the balanced equation: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → 2Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

It is clear that the stichiometry shows that 2.0 moles of NaOH reacts with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to give 2.0 moles of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of H₂O.

We must convert the grams of water (57.0 g) to moles (n = mass/molar mass).

n = (57.0 g) / (18.0 g/mole) = 3.1666 moles.

Now, we can get the number of moles of H₂SO₄ that is needed to produce 3.1666 moles of water.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ → 2.0 moles of H₂O, from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.

??? moles of H₂SO₄ → 3.1666 moles of H₂O.

The number of moles of H₂SO₄ that will produce 3.1666 moles of H₂O (57.0 g) is (1.0 x 3.1666 / 2.0) = 1.5833 moles.

Finally, we should convert the number of moles of H₂SO₄ into grams (n = mass/molar mass).

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 98.0 g/mole.

mass = n x molar mass = (1.5833 x 98.0) = 155.16 g.

In an aqueous chloride solution cobalt(ii) exists in equilibrium with the complex ion cocl42-. co2 (aq) is pink and cocl42-(aq)

liraira [26]

First you should know that the Principle of Le Chatelier states that if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium.

The variation of one or several of the following factors can alter the equilibrium condition in a chemical reaction:

Temperature
The pressure
The volume
The concentration of reactants or products

1. This reaction is: a. exothermic

The chemical equilibrium at issue is:

CoCl₄²⁻ ⇄ Co²⁺ + 4Cl⁻ + heat

blue pink

The reaction of the question is exothermic because when adding heat (at high temperature) the equilibrium moves to the left since the blue color is strong which means that there are more reagent (CoCl₄²⁻) that product (Co²⁺). On the other hand, when extracting heat from the system (at low temperature) the equilibrium moves to the right since the pink color predominates and more product is present in the solution.

2. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium constant, k: c. remains the same.

As mentioned above, a system in equilibrium that is disturbed will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium. In this way, the system will always remain in equilibrium and its equilibrium constant will remain constant. This is why, despite altering the temperature of the system, the equilibrium constant remains constant.

3. When the temperature is decreased the equilibrium concentration of Co²⁺: a. increases

Again, the chemical equilibrium at issue is:

CoCl₄²⁻ ⇄ Co²⁺ + 4Cl⁻ + heat

As the reaction in question is exothermic when the temperature decreases, heat is extracted from the system. To compensate this decrease in heat, the system will react by shifting the balance to the right, increasing the concentration of the products and, therefore, the concentration of Co²⁺.

creativity is the very element in science that helps us understand things. if we didn't have creative minds, we would never conduct experiments that help us discover things.

hope this helps, good luck!:)
