What is the difference between a Stalagmite and a stalactite?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A stalagmite is a type of rock formation that rises from the floor of a cave due to the accumulation of material deposited on the floor from ceiling drippings. Stalagmites are typically composed of calcium carbonate, but may consist of lava, mud, peat, pitch, sand, sinter and amberat.

and a stalactite means mineral formation that hangs from the ceiling of caves, hot springs, or man-made structures such as bridges and mines. Any material that is soluble and that can be deposited as a colloid, or is in suspension, or is capable of being melted, may form a stalactite.

Hello sunrays~<br>help me with these questions ​
andre [41]

Explanation:

During the formation of BeCl2, the beryllium atom bonds with two chlorine atoms via single covalent bonds. The number of electron pairs around the central atom will be two. No lone pair is found in the molecule. If we analyse this information then we can conclude that BeCl2 has sp hybridization.

How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?
Rina8888 [55]
Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

In experiment 1, how many moles of benzoic acid are present? how many moles of sodium bicarbonate are contained in 1 ml of a 10%
nexus9112 [7]

First, let us calculate the moles of solute or sodium bicarbonate is in the 1 ml solution.

<span>moles  = 1 mL * (1 g / 9 mL) = 0.11 moles</span>

 

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is 84 g/mol, therefore the mass is:

mass = 0.11 moles * 84 g/mol

<span>mass = 9.33 g</span>
