Explanation:

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.

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.

Answer: The final concentration of potassium nitrate is $5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of potassium nitrate (solute) = 0.360 g

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101.1 g/mol

Volume of solution = 500.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }KNO_3=\frac{0.360\times 1000}{101.1\times 500.0}\\\\\text{Molarity of }KNO_3=7.12\times 10^{-3}M$

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$ .......(1)

Calculating for first dilution:

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated $KNO_3$ solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted $KNO_3$ solution

We are given:

$M_1=7.12\times 10^{-3}M\\V_1=10mL\\M_2=?M\\V_2=500.0mL$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.12\times 10^{-3}\times 10=M_2\times 500\\\\M_2=\frac{7.12\times 10^{-3}\times 10}{500}=1.424\times 10^{-4}M$

Calculating for second dilution:

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated $KNO_3$ solution

$M_3\text{ and }V_3$ are the molarity and volume of diluted $KNO_3$ solution

We are given:

$M_2=1.424\times 10^{-4}M\\V_2=10mL\\M_3=?M\\V_3=250.0mL$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.424\times 10^{-4}\times 10=M_3\times 250\\\\M_3=\frac{1.424\times 10^{-4}\times 10}{250}=5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

Hence, the final concentration of potassium nitrate is $5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

How many moles of carbon are in 25 grams of carbon

Brut [27]

Answer:

One mole of carbon would look like 25/12.01

Explanation:

Firstly, you will divide 25 by 12.01 and get 2.081598

We know 1 mole equals the gram per atomic mass, so one mole of carbon is 12.01 grams. In conclusion, it would look like 25/12.01.

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford’s experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.a. The atom cont

Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d
