Q1: Erosion and weathering are often confused. How is erosion different from weathering? Give an example of each.

Chemistry

Explanation:

1.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.

Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

2.

Examples of mechanical weathering:

  •   Frost action
  •   Pressure release

Examples of chemical weathering:

  • Oxidation
  • Carbonation

There are two types of weathering:

  • In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
  • In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: the longitude line rotates with Earth, 360 degrees in 24 hours.

Explanation: In the old days, the position of the sun was used to tell which time of the day it is. But more modern findings, has shown that the longitude line matters too.

The combustion of glucose (c6h12o6) with oxygen gas produces carbon dioxide and water. this process releases 2803 kj per mole of
V125BC [204]

Answer:- 335 kcal of heat energy is produced.

Solution:- The balanced equation for the combustion of glucose in presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water is:

C_6H_1_2O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O

From given info, 2803 kJ of heat is released bu the combustion of 1 mol of glucose. We need to calculate the energy produced when 3.00 moles of oxygen react with excess of glucose.

We could solve this using dimensional analysis as:

3.00mol O_2(\frac{1mol glucose}{6mol O_2})(\frac{2803 kJ}{1mol glucose})

= 1401.5 kJ

Now, let's convert kJ to kcal.

We know that, 1kcal = 4.184kJ

So, 1401.5kJ(\frac{1kcal}{4.184kJ})

= 335 kcal

Hence, 335 kcal of heat energy is produced by the use of 3.00 moles of oxygen gas.

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy
