Answer:

Mud was deposited first, then sand.

Explanation:

This could have been a tidal mud flat succeeded by a sandy beach, or along the bed and course of a river with either mountain building upstream causing faster flow and carrying of mud farther away or the sea level falling with mud deposits being found closer to the new coastline. Hope this helps!

If the ph of hc3h5o2 is 4.2 and the ka 1.34x10^-5, what is the equilibrium concentration

</span>
pH = 0.5 pKa + 0.5 pCa
0.5 pCa = pH - 0.5 pKa
              = 4.2 - (0.5 * (-log 1.34 x 10⁻⁵)) = 1.76
pCa = 3.53
Ca = antilog - 3.52 = 3 x 10⁻⁴ 
where Ca is the acid concentration

Why do we have 2 high tides and 2 low tides a day?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Whereas semidiurnal tides are observed at the equator at all times, most locations north or south of the equator experiencetwo unequal high tides and twounequal low tides per tidal day; this is called a mixed tide and the difference in height between successive high (or low) tides iscalled the diurnal inequality.

A solution is made by adding 20 g table salt to 100 mL water. The solubility of salt is 36 g/100 mL water. Which term best descr
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

We say that the solution is unsaturated.

Explanation:

If the salt solubility is 36 g in 0.1 L of water then we can dissolve 360 g of salt in 1 L of water.

Because the solution contains 200 g of salt in 1 L of water, the solution is unsaturated because more salt can be added until we reach the saturation point.

We call the solution dilute when we compare the concentration of a solution with the concentration of another solution, but here we do not compare different solutions.

Calculate the molarity of the acid solution.<br>H2SO4(aq) with a pH of 2.
Lena [83]

Concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution:

5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the concentration of H⁺ ions in this solution?

[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}},

where [\text{H}^{+}] is in the unit mol / dm³.

\text{pH} = 2

[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-2} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

What's the concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution?

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is a strong acid. Note the subscript "2". Each mole of this acid dissolves in water to produce two moles of H⁺ ions. It takes only \dfrac{10^{-2}}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3} of H₂SO₄ to produce twice as much H⁺ ions.

As a result, the <em>molarity</em> of H₂SO₄ is 5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³ or 0.005 M.
