Answer:

Physical weathering is caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart. The process is sometimes assisted by water. Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart

When heated, KCIO3 decomposes into KCl and O2

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, the KClO3 moles is determined by using given grams of KCl produced from the reaction.

Next, the moles of O2 produced is obtained by using the moles of KClO3 which then, finally converted into mass of O2.

Analyzing the given chemical reaction clearly shows that, 2 moles of KClO3 produces 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of O2.

From the given grams of KCl produced the initial grams of KClO3 used in the reaction is determined as follows,

If your car gets 30.3 mi/gal, how many gallons of gasoline would you use if you drove 506.3 miles? 1 mile = 5280 ft (exactly) In

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 16.7 gallon

Explanation:

Given: The car can drive 30.3 miles when 1 gallon of gasoline is used.

Distance covered = 506.3 miles

Thus for 30.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= 1 gallon

For 506.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= $\frac{1}{30.3}\times 506.3=16.7gallon$

Thus the amount of gasoline used is 16.7 gallons.

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

djyliett [7]

Question:

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

A student has 70.5 mL of a 0.463 M aqueous solution of sodium bromide. The density of the solution is 1.22 g/mL. Find the follow

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

a.) 86.01 g.

b.) 3.36 g.

c.) 0.394 m ≅ 0.40 m.

d.) 4.77%.

e.) 3.9%.

Explanation:

a.) mass of the solution:

The density of the solution is the mass per unit volume.

∵ Density of solution = (mass of solution)/(volume of the solution).

∴ Mass of the solution = (density of solution)*(volume of the solution) = (1.22 g/mL)*(70.5 mL) = 86.01 g.

b.) grams of sodium bromide :

Molarity (M) is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved per 1.0 L of the solution.

∵ M = (no. of moles of NaBr)/(Volume of the solution (L))

∴ no. of moles of NaBr = M*(Volume of the solution (L)) = (0.463 M )*(0.0705 L) = 0.0326 mol.

∵ no. of moles of NaBr = (mass of NaBr)/(molar mass of NaBr)

∴ mass of NaBr = (no. of moles of NaBr)*(molar mass of NaBr) = (0.0326 mol)*(102.894 g/mol) = 3.36 g.

c.) molality of the solution:

Molality (m) is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved per 1.0 kg of the solvent.

∵ m = (no. of moles of NaBr)/(mass of the soluvent (kg))

no. of moles of NaBr = 0.0326 mol,

mass of solvent = mass of the solution - mass of NaBr = 86.01 g - 3.36 g = 82.65 g = 0.08265 kg.

∴ m = (no. of moles of NaBr)/(mass of the soluvent (kg)) = (0.0326 mol)/(0.08265 kg) = 0.394 m ≅ 0.40 m.

d.) % (m/v) of the solution:

∵ (m/v)% = [(mass of solute) /(volume of the solution)]* 100

∴ (m/v)% = [(3.36 g)/(70.5 mL)]* 100 = 4.77%.

e.) % (m/m) of the solution:

∵ (m/m)% = [(mass of solute) /(mass of the solution)]* 100

∴ (m/m)% = [(3.36 g)/(86.01 g)] * 100 = 3.9 %.
