Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

Sinkholes are one of the distinct geological features. These are circular depressions that are formed due to the collapse of the ground surface. These are formed in the region where the rocks are either carbonate (limestone), salt rocks or gypsum which is easily dissolved when it comes in contact with the groundwater flow. It results in the formation of caves. The sinkholes are characterized by the presence of karst topography above them on the surface and sinkholes are often considered to be one of the main features of the karst topography.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Answer:

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

First to show combustion, you use O₂.

So C₆H₁₀O₅ + O₂ is the reaction. Assuming complete combustion, all you get as products are CO₂ and H₂O. Then you have to balance the full reaction.

C₆H₁₀O₅ + 6O₂ -----> 6CO₂ + 5H₂O

A hypothetical element has an atomic weight of 48.68 amu. It consists of three isotopes having masses of 47.00 amu, 48.00 amu, a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer : The percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

As we are given that,

Average atomic mass = 48.68 amu

Mass of heaviest-weight isotope = 49.00 amu

Let the percentage abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = x %

Fractional abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = $\frac{x}{100}$

Mass of lightest-weight isotope = 47.00 amu

Percentage abundance of lightest-weight isotope = 10 %

Fractional abundance of lightest-weight isotope = $\frac{10}{100}$

Mass of middle-weight isotope = 48.00 amu

Percentage abundance of middle-weight isotope = [100 - (x + 10)] % = (90 - x) %

Fractional abundance of middle-weight isotope = $\frac{(90-x)}{100}$

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$48.68=[(47.0\times \frac{10}{100})+(48.0\times \frac{(90-x)}{100})+(49.0\times \frac{x}{100})]$

$x=78\%$

Therefore, the percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Consider a solution that is 1.3×10−2 M in Ba2+ and 2.0×10−2 M in Ca2+. Ksp(BaSO4)=1.07×10−10 Ksp(CaSO4)=7.10×10−5 If sodium sulf

skad [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ksp(BaSO4)=1.07×10−10

BaSO₄ → Ba²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

1.07×10⁻¹⁰ = ( Ba²⁺) × ( SO₄²⁻)

but Ba²⁺ = 1.3×10⁻² M

1.07×10⁻¹⁰ = 1.3×10⁻² M × ( SO₄²⁻)

( SO₄²⁻) = 1.07×10⁻¹⁰ / 1.3×10⁻² = 0.823 × 10⁻⁸ M

while Ksp(CaSO4)=7.10×10−5

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

7.10×10⁻⁵ = 2.0×10⁻² × ( SO₄²⁻)

( SO₄²⁻) = 7.10×10⁻⁵ / 2.0×10⁻² = 3.55 × 10⁻³ M

comparing the concentration of sulfate ions, Ba²⁺ cation will precipitate first because the Ba²⁺ requires 0.823 × 10⁻⁸ M sodium sulfate which less compared the about needed by CaSO₄

Statement 2 is correct.

The water does not change it's H2O chemical makeup because salt was dissolved into it.
