How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.

The ideal gas constant, R has several different values that could be used. Which quantity causes these differences? pressure tem
Blababa [14]

Answer : The correct option is, pressure.

Explanation :

The ideal gas equation is,

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = number of moles of gas

T = temperature of the gas

R = gas constant

The value of 'R' has several different values which are :

R=0.08205L.atm/mol.K

R=8.3145L.kPa/mol.K

R=8.3145J/mol.K 

R=1.987cal/mol.K

R=0.08314L.bar/mol.K

That means, the value of 'R' is different due the change in the pressure value and all the variables (temperature, volume and moles) are constant.

Hence, the correct option is, pressure.

The solubility of lead(ii) chloride is 0.45 g/100 ml of solution. what is the ksp of pbcl2? 4.9 × 10-2 1.7 × 10-5 8.5 × 10-6 4.2
Artyom0805 [142]
Answer:
1.7 * 10^-5

Explanation:
1- get the number of moles of PbCl2:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 0.45 / 278.1 = 1.618 * 10^-3 moles

2- get the concentration of Pb2+:
molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
molarity = (1.618 * 10^-3) / (0.1) = 0.0162 M

3- getting concentration of Cl-:
<span>PbCl2(s) <==> Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) 
</span>We can note that:
For a certain amount of Pb2+ formed, twice this amount of Cl- is formed.
This means that:
for 0.0162 M of Pb2+, 2*0.0168 = 0.0324 M of Cl- is formed

4- getting Ksp:
Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]²
Ksp = (0.0162)*(0.0324)²
Ksp = 1.7 * 10^-5

Hope this helps :)

While working near a radioactive mine, workers usually wear heavy plastic suits. These suits protect them from all but
Vaselesa [24]
The appropriate response is gamma radiation. Alpha particles can be halted via air. UV radiation can be halted by a typical layer of clothing.Beta particles can be ceased by the thick plastic suit. Just gamma radiation can enter the substantial suit. It must be halted by thick dividers of lead or cement.
