Answer:

it has to do with shearing at transform boundaries and strike-slip faults where tectonic plates slide past eachother in opposite directions where crust isn't created or destroyed

12. A voltaic cell consists of a chromium electrode dipped in a 1.20 M chromium (III) nitrate
Lilit [14]

For a voltaic cell consisting of chromium, an electrode dipped in a 1.20 M chromium (III) nitrate solution and a tin electrode dipped in a 0.400 M tin (II) nitrate solution, the cell potential at 298 K  is mathematically given as

Ecell = 0.577 V

<h3 /><h3>What is the cell potential at 298 K?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Oxidation and Reduction  is mathematically given as

Cr(s) ------------------ Cr+3(aq) + 3e- ] x 2 ...O

Sn+2(aq) + 2e- ------------ Sn(s) ] x 3  ...R

Reaction

 2 Cr(s) + 3 Sn+2(aq) --------------- 2 Cr+3(aq) + 3 Sn(s)

Therefore

Eicell = - 0.14 - ( - 0.74)

Eicell = 0.60

In conclusion

Ecell= E0cell - \frac{0.0591}{n} * \frac{log[Cr+3]^2}{ [ Sn+2]^3}

Ecell = 0.60 - \frac{0.0591 }{6} \frac{log( 1.20)^2}{ ( 0.200)^3}

Ecell = 0.577 V

In another experiment, a 0.150 M BF4^-(aq) solution is prepared by dissolving NaBF4(s) in distilled water. The BF4^-(aq) ions in
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

B) I disagree with the claim

Explanation:

A) We are told that [HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M at equilibrium.

The reversible reaction given to us is;

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

From this, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1:1:1

Thus, concentration of [BF4-] is now;

[BF4-] = 0.150 - 0.0174

[BF4-] = 0.1326 M

From the rate law, we are told the forward rate is kf [BF4-].

We are given Kf = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min

Thus;

Forward rate = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min × (0.1326M)

Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

(B) The student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero can't be true because at equilibrium, rates for the forward and reverse reactions are usually equal.

Thus, I disagree with the claim.

Explain how the igneous rock granite forms. Then tell how the granite might become the sedimentary rock sandstone and then the m
otez555 [7]

Answer:

There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. There are three different types of sedimentary rocks: clastic, organic (biological), and chemical. Clastic sedimentary rocks, like sandstone, form from clasts, or pieces of other rock. Organic sedimentary rocks, like coal, form from hard, biological materials like plants, shells, and bones that are compressed into rock. The formation of clastic and organic rocks begins with the weathering, or breaking down, of the exposed rock into small fragments. Through the process of erosion, these fragments are removed from their source and transported by wind, water, ice, or biological activity to a new location. Once the sediment settles somewhere, and enough of it collects, the lowest layers become compacted so tightly that they form solid rock. Chemical sedimentary rocks, like limestone, halite, and flint, form from chemical precipitation. A chemical precipitate is a chemical compound—for instance, calcium carbonate, salt, and silica—that forms when the solution it is dissolved in, usually water, evaporates and leaves the compound behind. This occurs as water travels through Earth’s crust, weathering the rock and dissolving some of its minerals, transporting it elsewhere. These dissolved minerals are precipitated when the water evaporates. Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed from their original form by immense heat or pressure. Metamorphic rocks have two classes: foliated and nonfoliated. When a rock with flat or elongated minerals is put under immense pressure, the minerals line up in layers, creating foliation. Foliation is the aligning of elongated or platy minerals, like hornblende or mica, perpendicular to the direction of pressure that is applied. An example of this transformation can be seen with granite, an igneous rock. Granite contains long and platy minerals that are not initially aligned, but when enough pressure is added, those minerals shift to all point in the same direction while getting squeezed into flat sheets. When granite undergoes this process, like at a tectonic plate boundary, it turns into gneiss (pronounced “nice”). Nonfoliated rocks are formed the same way, but they do not contain the minerals that tend to line up under pressure and thus do not have the layered appearance of foliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks like bituminous coal, limestone, and sandstone, given enough heat and pressure, can turn into nonfoliated metamorphic rocks like anthracite coal, marble, and quartzite. Nonfoliated rocks can also form by metamorphism, which happens when magma comes in contact with the surrounding rock. Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks (derived from the Latin word for fire) are formed when molten hot material cools and solidifies. Igneous rocks can also be made a couple of different ways. When they are formed inside of the earth, they are called intrusive, or plutonic, igneous rocks. If they are formed outside or on top of Earth’s crust, they are called extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks. Granite and diorite are examples of common intrusive rocks. They have a coarse texture with large mineral grains, indicating that they spent thousands or millions of years cooling down inside the earth, a time course that allowed large mineral crystals to grow.

Alternatively, rocks like basalt and obsidian have very small grains and a relatively fine texture. This happens because when magma erupts into lava, it cools more quickly than it would if it stayed inside the earth, giving crystals less time to form. Obsidian cools into volcanic glass so quickly when ejected that the grains are impossible to see with the naked eye. Extrusive igneous rocks can also have a vesicular, or “holey” texture. This happens when the ejected magma still has gases inside of it so when it cools, the gas bubbles are trapped and end up giving the rock a bubbly texture. An example of this would be pumice.

A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 155 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate o
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1
