Answer:

The correct option here is d

Explanation:

Weathering can simply be defined as the breakdown or decomposition of rocks. There are two types of weathering namely

Mechanical weathering
Chemical weathering

Mechanical weathering is the gradual breakdown of rocks into simpler pieces by physical agents such as water, wind, temperature and biological activities. Gravity does not affect weathering (both mechanical or chemical) because it is a force (constant) on earth that is not directly involved in any form of wear and tear.

Gravity: that's a force.

Which of the following solutions is a good buffer system?A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M NaClA solution that is 0.10 M

patriot [66]

Answer:

A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN

Explanation:

A good buffer system contains a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt.
In this case; A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN, would make a good buffer system.
HCN is a weak acid, while LiCN is a salt of the weak acid, that is, CN- conjugate of the acid.

In order to prepare very dilute solutions, a lab technician chooses to perform a series of dilutions instead of measuring a very

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

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 $5.70\times 10^{-6}M$

A hot air ballon will rise in air because:

solmaris [256]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Hot air is a lot less dense for a few reasons. Hot air essentially means the particles have more kinetic energy, and move around a lot more. Cold air is dense because the particles move a lot less, have less energy, and are closer together.

Ammonia (NH3) reacts with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate. How many grams of ammonium sulfate are obtained from 8.73 g of

Gwar [14]

I hope you understand my working:
1) Finding the mol of NH3 to find the mol of (NH4)2SO4 (ammonium sulfate)
2) Mr of (NH4)2SO4
3) Theoretical yield: The actual grams of (NH4)2SO4 produced when reacting 0.514 mol of NH3 to 0.514 mol H2SO4
4) Using formula of (given grams)/(theoretical grams or actual grams) * 100 = 73%
5) Basic algebra
