This represents three steps of the rock cycle. The sediments are layered and compressed in sedimentary rock. The sedimentary roc

k is heated and compressed to form metamorphic rock. One thing remains the same from start to finish: the total amount of minerals present.
This process represents an important scientific law. What is it?
A) law of motion
B) law of thermodynamics
C) law of conservation of mass
D) law of conservation of energy

The correct answer should be the law of thermodynamics, because the sedimentary rock, like in the question, is being heated and compressed to form metamorphic. And this has to do with Thermodynamics.

ANSWER: C) Law of Conservation of Mass

EXPLANATION: In the given cycle, it is seen that th sediments are layered and gets compressed into sedimentary rocks which eventually gets heated and compressed to form metamorphic rocks. But, the total amount of minerals present in the sediments remains the same throughout any stage of the cycle.

This proves the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can not be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another. So, in this case, only phase transition occurred but the component which is mineral inside the sediments remains constant.

Therefore, the answer is law of conservation of mass.

2. If 1.75 L of a gas is at 700. K and is under 250. kPa of pressure, what will the new
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Final volume is 3.50L

Explanation:

It is possible to find volume of a gas using combined gas law:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

<em>Where P is pressure, V is volume and T is temperature of 1: initial state and 2: final state</em>

If initial state of the gas is:

1.75L of a gas is at 700K and is under 250kPa of pressure

And final state is:

298K and 53.2kPa.

Replacing:

\frac{250kPa*1.75L}{700K} =\frac{53.2kPa*V_2}{298K}

0.625L = 0.1785*V₂

<em>3.50L = V₂</em>

Thus, <em>final volume is 3.50L</em>

4. What parts of Dalton’s atomic theory no longer agree with the current picture of the atom? Provide an answer using 3 – 4 sent
pogonyaev
<span>Since you did not show any picture, I will be describing Dalton’s atomic theory. The scientist thought that the atom was the smallest particle in the universe is John Dalton. He established five theories relating atoms. One, elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Two, atoms of different element have different sizes, mass and physico – chemical properties. Three, atoms cannot be divided further, destroyed or created. It also follows the law of conservation of energy. Fourth, atoms can combine to form compounds. And lastly, in chemical reaction, atoms can be combined, separated or rearranged. </span>
