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.

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Suppose a 2.95 g of potassium iodide is dissolved in 350. mL of a 62.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Calculate the fin

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer : The final molarity of iodide anion in the solution is 0.0508 M.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of $KI$ and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{\text{Mass of }KI}{\text{Molar mass of }KI}$

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{2.95g}{166g/mole}=0.0178mole$

and,

$\text{Moles of }AgNO_3=\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.0620M\times 0.350L=0.0217mole$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given chemical reaction is:

$KI+AgNO_3\rightarrow KNO_3+AgI$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of KI react with 1 mole of $AgNO_3$

So, 0.0178 mole of KI react with 0.0178 mole of $AgNO_3$

From this we conclude that, $AgNO_3$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and KI is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $AgI$
