Shale, and Sandstone are the rocks formed by precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water.

Option B and D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calcium carbonate can get precipitated from sea water and it forms rocks termed as limestones. These limestones are a variety of sedimentary rocks. Along with it, shale and sandstones are also varieties of sedimentary rocks and they also contain some of the precipitation of calcium carbonate.

The composition of sandstones consists of quartz and feldspar along with some of the composition of calcium carbonate. The same concept goes for Shale also. Basically, Shale is a mixuture of Clay but they can combine with limestone.

Thus, Shale, Sandstone and limestones are the rocks formed by precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water.

What volume would 56.2 mL of gas at 820 mm of Hg occupy at 720 mm of Hg?

Andreyy89

Answer:

49.35 mL

Explanation:

Given: 56.2 mL of gas

To find: volume that 56.2 mL of gas at 820 mm of Hg would occupy at 720 mm of Hg

Solution:

At 820 mm of Hg, volume of gas is 56.2 mL

At 1 mm of Hg, volume of gas is $\frac{56.2}{820}$

At 720 mm of Hg, volume of gas is $\frac{56.2}{820}(720)=49.35\,\,mL$

Why is it possible to collect hydrogen gas over water?

maw [93]

A gas produced in a chemical reaction can be collected by water displacement. Because the gas is collected over water, it is not pure but is mixed with vapor from the evaporation of the water. Dalton's law can be used to calculate the amount of the desired gas by subtracting the contribution of the water vapor.
