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!

- What is the concentration of hydrogen ions if the pH is 12?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1 x 10^-12 mol dm^-3

Explanation:

Olympic cyclists fill their tires with helium to make them lighter. Assume that the volume of the tire is 860 mL , that it is fi
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a)  the mass of air = 8.24 grams

b) the mass of helium = 1.14 grams

c) the mass difference = 7.10 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the tire = 860 mL

Total pressure = 120 psi

Temperature = 26°C

molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Step 2:  Convert psi to atm

(

120 psi) (1 atm / 14.7 psi) = 8.163

Step 4: Calculate moles

PV = nRT

 ⇒ with P = the pressure = 8.163 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = 860 mL = 0.860 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the universal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 26 °C = 299 Kelvin

n = (8163*0.860)/(0.08206*299)

n = 0.2861 moles of gas

Step 5: Calculate the mass of air in an air-filled tire.

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = (0.2861 moles of gas) (28.8 g/mol)  

Mass = 8.24 grams

Step 6: Calculate the mass of helium in a helium- filled tire.

mass of helium = 0.2861 moles of gas * 4 g/mol)  

mass of helium  = 1.14 grams

Step 7: What is the mass difference between the two?

Δmass=  8.24 grams -  1.14 grams

Δmass= 7.10 grams

For each pair of salts, determine which of the salts, if any, would be expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pu
gogolik [260]

Answer:

AgNO2

Explanation:

The question asks to know which of these two insoluble salts is expected to be more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water.

To answer this question specifically, we need to know if the anions contained in the insoluble salt is a conjugate of a weak acid or that of a weak base.

Generally, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of weak acids increases in the presence of an acidic solution than in water. While, the solubility of insoluble salts that contain anions which are conjugates of strong acids decreases in the presence of an acidic solution.

Having said this, AgNO2 contains NO2 which is the conjugate base of the Trioxonitrate iii acid which is a weak acid. Hence, it is expected to be stronger in acidic solution than in water.

I need the answers to all three questions pls:
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

8) As a sulfur atom gains electrons, its radius

A) decreases

B) increases

C) remains the same

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

when an atom form ion its atomic radius changed from neutral atomic radius.

if the atom form cation its atomic radius is smaller than neutral atomic radius.

If atom form anion its anionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius.

The reason is that when electron is remove energy shell deduced so cation get smaller ionic radii while in case of anion electron is added and size increase.

when sulfur gain electrons it form anion that's why its radius increases.

9) Which element forms an ion larger than its atom?

A) Na B) Ne C) Ba D) Br

Answer;

Br

Explanation:

when an atom form ion its atomic radius changed from neutral atomic radius.

if the atom form cation its atomic radius is smaller than neutral atomic radius.

If atom form anion its anionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius.

The reason is that when electron is remove energy shell deduced so cation get smaller ionic radii while in case of anion electron is added and size increase.

In given list of elements sodium and barium form cation while bromine form anion.

That's why anion of bromine is larger than atom.

while neon is inert it cannot form ion.

10. Which of the following particles has the smallest

radius?

A) Na B) K° C) Na+ D) K+

Answer:

Na⁺

Explanation:

Atomic radii trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased .

Sodium and potassium are present in group one. Sodium is present in period three while potassium is present in period four. So atomic size of sodium is smaller and when it form the cation its cation is smaller than its atom because of losing of electron.The reason is that when electron is remove energy shell deduced so cation get smaller ionic radii
