Describe 3 ways abrasion occurs in nature

1 answer:

7 0

There are three ways of abrasion occurs in nature; the wind, waves, and gravity. Abrasion is the mechanical process of wearing away of a rock surface and the movement of the particles while transporting through the wind, waves, and gravity.

Thermal energy changes states because

Artyom0805 [142]

.Thermal energy, an extensive property, depends on the number of particles in a substance as well as the amount of energy each particle has. If either the number of particles or the amount of energy in each particle changes, the thermal energy of the sample changes. With identi- cally sized samples, the warmer substance has the greater ther- mal energy. hope that helps.

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a flas

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Kp = 0.022

Explanation:

<em>Full question: ...With 2.3 atm of ammonia gas at 32. °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 0.69 atm. </em>

<em />

The equilibrium of ammonia occurs as follows:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

$Kp = \frac{P_{N_2}P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2}$

<em>Where P represents partial pressure of each gas.</em>

<em />

As initial pressure of ammonia is 2.3atm, its equilibrium concentration will be:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2X

<em>Where X represents reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Thus, pressure of hydrogen and nitrogen is:

P(N₂) = X

P(H₂) = 3X.

As partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.69atm:

3X = 0.69

X = 0.23atm:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2(0.23atm) = 1.84atm

P(N₂) = 0.23atm

P(H₂) = 0.69atm

$Kp = \frac{0.23atm*0.69atm^3}{1.84atm^2}$

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf

sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³
