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.

A 2.500g sample of compound containing only Carbon and Hydrogen is found containing 2.002g of Carbon. Determine the empirical fo
Dima020 [189]

The empirical formula : CH₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2.5 g sample

2.002 g Carbon

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

Mass of Hydrogen :

= 2.5 - 2.002

= 0.498

Mol ratio C : H :

C : 2.002/12 = 0.167

H : 0.498/1 = 0.498

Divide by 0.167 :

C : H = 1 : 3

Assuming 1 mol of Fe3+ and 2 mol of SCN- were allowed to react and reach equilibrium. 0.5 mol of product was formed. The total v
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. 0.5 mol

b. 1.5 mol

c. 0.67

Explanation:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+

a. The ratio of the product to Fe3+ is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of Fe3+ was used. Leaving 0.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

b. The ratio of the product to SCN= is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of SCN- was used. Leaving 1.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

c. KC =  0.5/(0.5*1.5) =  0.67

The following choices contain densities of various materials. Based on these data, which will yield the fastest seismic velocity
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

D. 5.6 g/cm^3

Explanation:

On the average seismic velocity increases with increase in depth due higher the pressure and more compaction

sand and shales in the Niger Delta Basin density–velocity relationship is

P = 0.31×V^0.25

A derivation of the original Gardner equation to calculate the average densities for sands and shales in wells.

ρ = α ×V^β

where

ρ = bulk density in g/cm3,

V = P-wave velocity,

α = 0.31 for V (m/s) and 0.23 for V(ft/s) and

β = 0.25.

Such that

ρ = 0.31 ×V^0.25

So the fastest seismic velocity will be in the densest material which is D. 5.6 g/cm3
