In a undisturbed layer, how do we know which layer was deposited first ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It's the bottom layer.  

Explanation:

Scientists use the Law of Superposition to determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock:

The oldest rock layer is at the bottom of an undisturbed bed.

Thus, Layer A in the figure below was deposited first.

A 5.00L reaction vessel is filled with 1.00mol of H2, 1.00mol of I2, and 2.50mol of HI. If equilibrium constant for the reaction
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

[I₂] ; [H₂]  = 0.067 mol/L

[HI] = 0.765 mol/L

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

                  I₂(g)    +    H₂(g)    ⇄    2HI (g)

Initially       1mol          1mol            2.5mol

I have the initially amount of each gas at first. Some amount (x), has reacted during the reaction.

                  I₂(g)    +    H₂(g)    ⇄    2HI (g)

React            x               x                  2x

In the equilibrium I have to subtract, what I had initially and the amount that has reacted, and then, as I had 2.5 mol of HI at the begining, I have to sum, the amount of the reaction. As I have to find out the concentrations, I have to /5L, which is the volume of the vessel.

Eq.           (1-x)/5         (1-x)/5         (2.5+2x)/5

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = [HI]² / ( [I₂] . [H₂])

129 =  ( (2.5+2x) /5 )² / ( (1-x) /5) . ( (1-x) /5) )

129 =   ( (2.5+2x) /5 )² / ( (1-x) /5)²

129 = (2.5+2x)² / 25  /  (1-x)² / 25

129 = (2.5 + 2x)² / (1-x)²

129 = 2.5² + 2 . 2.5 .2x + 4x² / 1 - 2x + x²

129 (1 - 2x + x²) = 2.5² + 2 . 2.5 .2x + 4x²

129 - 258x + 129x² = 6.25 + 10x + 4x²

129 - 6.25 -258x -10x + 129x²-4x² = 0

122.75 - 268x + 125x² = 0 (a quadratic function)

a = 125

b = -268

c = 122.75

(-b +- (√b² - 4ac)) / 2a

x₁ = 1.48

x₂ = 0.66

We take the x₂ value, cause the x₁, will get a negative concentration and that is impossible.

[I₂] =  ( 1-0.66 ) /5 = 0.067

[H₂] = ( 1-0.66 ) /5 = 0.067

[HI] = (2.5+ 2. 0.66) /5 = 0.765

The balanced equation below shows the products that are formed when pentane (C5H12) is combusted. C5H12 + 8O2 mc029-1.jpg 10CO2
Maru [420]

Answer: The mole ratio of oxygen to pentane for the combustion of pentane is 8 : 1.

Explanation: The given reaction is a type of combustion reaction.

Combustion reaction is a reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce water and carbon dioxide gas.

For the reaction of pentane with oxygen, the balanced equation would be:

C_5H_{12}+8O_2\rightarrow 5CO_2+6H_2O

In the reaction, 1 mole of C_5H_{12} reacts with 8 moles of O_2 gas.

Thus giving us the mole ratio as

Oxygen : Pentane = 8 : 1
