How does weathering change rocks and minerals

1 answer:

3 0

It changes rocks and minerals by water, ice, acids, salt, and changes in the temperature. Once the rock has been broken down a process named erosion happens, it transports bits of rocks and minerals away

Write a net ionic equation to show that benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, behaves as a Brønsted-Lowry acid in water.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that donates H⁺. Let's consider the molecular equation showing that benzoic acid is a Brönsted-Lowry acid.

C₆H₅COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and molecular species.

C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT$

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K$

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.

At 100.0∘C, the ion product of water is 5.13×10−13. What is the concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature? Your answer

Trava [24]

Answer: The concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature is $7.16\times 10^{-7}$

Explanation:

When an expression is formed by taking the product of concentration of ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the solution of a salt is known as ionic product.

The ionic product for water is written as:

$K_w=[H^+][OH^-]$

$5.13\times 10^{-13}=[H^+][OH^-]$

As $[H^+]=[OH^-]$

$5.13\times 10^{-13}=x^2$

$x=7.16\times 10^{-7}$

The concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature is $7.16\times 10^{-7}$
