Answer:

Filling in the blank, this is an example of <u>chemical weathering</u> which happens <u>to rocks</u> overtime.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks are disintegrated by chemicals.

Rain water becomes acid rain when it reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (to form carbonic acid, HCO3).

When acidic rainwater falls and stays on rocks, chemical reactions take place with the minerals present in the rock, causing the rock to weather.

Areas with immense carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollution increases rain water acidity, which in turn causes moisture in the atmosphere to dissolve these gases and produce acid rain.

Answer:

Chemical weathering; to exposed rock surfaces.

Explanation:

Weathering involves the process in which rocks are being broken down that is to say the wearing and dissolution of exposed rock surfaces. And one of the agents of weathering is acid. There are different types of weathering but the one that concerns this question is known as chemical weathering.

Chemical weathering occurs when Acidic gas such as Carbondioxide combines with water vapour in the atmosphere to produce acidic rain which is known as the carbonic acid. When this acidic rain react with limestone it can form caves.

Sally has constructed a concentration cell to measure Ksp for MCln. She constructs the cell by adding 2 mL of 0.05 M M(NO3)n to
hram777 [196]

Answer:

0.1056 mole

Explanation:

As Sally knows that the charge on the metal ion is n = +2

$MCl_n=MCl_2$

In that compartment $[M^{n+}]=[m^{2+}]=8.279 \ M$

The volume of the $MCl_n$ taken in that compartment = 6.380 mL

So, the number of moles of $M^{2+} = 8.279 \times 6.380$

                                                      = 52.82 m mol

                                                      = 0.05280 mol

$MCl_n \rightarrow M^{n+}+nCl^-$

But n = 2

Therefore, moles of $Cl^-$ = 2 x moles of $M^{n+}$

                                       = 2 x 0.05282

                                       = 0.1056 mole

The product of alpha decay of the Nobelium isotope 259No is
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Nobelium is made by the bombardment of curium (Cm) with carbon nuclei. Its most stable isotope, 259No, has a half-life of 58 minutes and decays to Fermium (255Fm) through alpha decay or to Mendelevium (259Md) through electron capture.

g A and B are both non-volatile molecular compounds. Substance A has a greater molar mass than substance B. If 50 g of substance
Doss [256]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D.  the boiling point of solution A will be lower than the boiling point of solution B

Explanation:

Colligative properties such as a decrease in the freezing point of the solution, increase in the boiling point of substance, decrease in Lowering of vapor pressure, and other properties depend upon the number of molecules only.

In the given solution the equal amount of two solutions are mixed that is 50 grams however due to the difference in the molecular mass so the atoms present in both solution A and B will be different. It is known that the number of atoms of a substance is inversely proportional to the molecular mass of the particular substance.

As it is given that Solution B has a low molecular mass which means it has a high number of atoms that means its boiling point will be higher than solution A.

Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing between 18-23 lbs is 0.75 teaspoons (tsp). if 1.00 t
blagie [28]

We are given that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL, therefore 0.75 teaspoon is:

0.75 teaspoon * (5 mL / 1 teaspoon) = 3.75 mL

 

So the mass is density times volume:

mass = (12.5 mg/5 ml) * 3.75 mL

<span>mass = 9.375 mg</span>
