Answer:

frost wedging

Explanation:

Frost wedging is the process by which water seeps into cracks in a rock, expands on freezing, and thus enlarges the cracks. The effectiveness of frost wedging is related to the frequency of freezing and thawing.

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, $HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}$

The conjugate base is $F^{-}$ which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

$CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}$

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Using your knowledge of symbols, determine which compound listed must contain both copper and oxygen.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Malachite

Explanation:

Malachite is the only listed compound that must contain copper and oxygen.

Copper and oxygen are both elements found on the periodic table. They have the following symbols;

Copper = Cu

Oxygen = O

From the given choices, only option 1 has the symbol Cu and O.

So only malachite contains both copper and oxygen.

Why does a cold front cause intense weather

DiKsa [7]

There are several severe weather events that occur due to cold fronts. The reason being is because winds will move towards each other along the front. The angle of a cold front is also greater than that of the other types of fronts, which creates more lift in the atmosphere vertically
