Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Group of answer choices
hydrochloric acid
sodium bicarbonate
calcium carbonate
sodium chloride
sodium hydroxide
Answer:
calcium carbonate
Explanation:
A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.
A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.
Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Answer:
Explanation:
The speed of sound in the air mainly depends on temperature. At high altitudes, where it is much colder, sound travels slower. The higher the temperature, the faster the air molecules are moving to begin with, and the quicker they bump into each other as a sound wave passes through.
Answer:
Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO₂
Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol;
Molar mass of Carbon (ii) oxide = 28 g/mol
From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of carbon (ii) oxide; i.e. 160 g of iron (iii) oxide reacts with 84 g (3 * 28 g) of carbon (ii) oxide
450 g of Fe₂O₃ will react with 450 * 84/180) g of carbon (ii) oxide = 236..25 g of carbon (ii) oxide
Therefore the excess reactant is carbon (ii) oxide.
Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 260 - 236.25
Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g
An increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the particles move faster, they will likely hit the edge of the container more often.
