The chemical symbol of an element is determined by the language used to abbreviate the element. Most chemical symbols use abbreviations of the English name for the element, such as "O" for oxygen, "H" for hydrogen or "Ar" for argon.

How many particles are in a 151 g sample of Li2O?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

3.052 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

To get the number of particles (nA) in a substance, we multiply the number of moles of the substance by Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10^23)

The mass of Li2O given in this question is as follows: 151grams.

To convert this mass value to moles, we use;

moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Li2O = 6.9(2) + 16

= 13.8 + 16

= 29.8g/mol

Mole = 151/29.8g

mole = 5.07moles

number of particles (nA) of Li2O = 5.07 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.52 × 10^23

= 3.052 × 10^24 particles.

Wich describes a characteristic of terminal moraine
stealth61 [152]
I found this....

Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.

How to find the Ka of an acid?
bonufazy [111]
We know that acids have a pH of under 7. 

We also need to:
Set up an ICE table for the chemical reaction.  Solve for the concentration of H3O+ using the equation for pH  Use the concentration of H3O+ to solve for the concentrations of the other products and reactants.
