How can you distinguish a clastic sedimentary rock from a crystalline formed sedimentary rock?

1 answer:

6 0

: A clastic sedimentary rock will be full of... clasts. Pieces of shells, ooids, pizoids, etc. A chemically formed sedimentary rock may have these but it will dominantly be a layered rock, you should be able to see concentric layers

A mixture of gases with a pressure of 800.0 mm hg contains 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen by volume. What is the partial pressure o

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture is 320.0 mm Hg

Explanation:

1) Take a base of 100 liters of mixture:

N: 60% × 100 liter = 60 liter

O: 40 % × 100 liter = 40 liter.

2) Volume fraction:

At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of molecules.

Then, the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio. Callin n₁ and n₂, the number of moles of nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, and V₁, V₂ the volume of the respective gases you can set the proportion:

V₁ / V₂ = n₁ / n₂

That means that the mole ratio is equal to the volume ratio, and the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.

Then, since the law of partial pressures of gases states that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the mole fraction of the gas multiplied by the total pressure, you can draw the conclusion that the partial pressure of each gas is equal to the volume fraction of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.

Then calculate the volume fractions:

Volume fraction of a gas = volume of the gas / volume of the mixture

N: 60 liter / 100 liter = 0.6 liter

V: 40 liter / 100 liter = 0.4 liter

3) Partial pressures:

These are the final calculations and results:

Partial pressure = volume fraction × total pressure

Partial pressure of N = 0.6 × 800.0 mm Hg = 480.0 mm Hg

Partial pressure of O = 0.4 × 800.0 mm Hg = 320.0 mm Hg

If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?

e-lub [12.9K]

Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).

Answer: C) be hypertonic to Tank B.

Explanation:

The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the total concentration of all the solutes in the solution.

Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane. When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.

If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (lower concentration of solute) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (higher concentration of solute) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (equal concentration of solute) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.

In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B.

Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, options B and D are also not correct.

Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.

The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.
