Answer:

The grains from smallest to the largest are as follows-

(1) Clay (Diameter, D< 0.004 mm in diameter)

(2) Silt (D= 0.004 to 0.0625 mm)

(3) Sand (D= 0.0625-2 mm)

(4) Gravel (D= 2-4 mm)

(5) Pebble (D= 4-256 mm)

(6) Cobble (D= 64-256 mm)

(7) Boulder (D> 256 mm)

These sediments are weathered from the source rock and are transported from the source area to a different place and then they are compacted and lithified as a result of which detrital (clastic) sedimentary rocks are formed. For example, sandstone, siltstone, sandstone, conglomerate and breccia.

Explain how the heat and phase changes affects the environment? Give examples.<br>(5-7 sentences)

NeX [460]

Energy is required to change the phase of a substance, such as the energy to break the bonds between molecules in a block of ice so it may melt.
During a phase change energy my be added or subtracted from a system, but the temperature will not change. The temperature will change only when the phase change has completed. No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings. Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart so that the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature.

The normal freezing point of a certain liquid

stepladder [879]

Answer : The molal freezing point depression constant of X is $4.12^oC/m$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of urea (solute) = 5.90 g

Mass of X liquid (solvent) = 450.0 g

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mole

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of urea}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of urea}\times \text{Mass of X liquid}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution = $-0.5^oC$

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of liquid X= $0.4^oC$

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point depression constant of X = ?

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$[0.4-(-0.5)]^oC=1\times k_f\times \frac{5.90g\times 1000}{60g/mol\times 450.0g}$

$k_f=4.12^oC/m$

Therefore, the molal freezing point depression constant of X is $4.12^oC/m$

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?

blagie [28]

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).
