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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]2 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.

If the pressure of a 2.00 L sample of gas is 50.0 kPa, what pressure does the gas exert if its volume is decreased to 20.0 mL?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

P₂ = 5000 KPa

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.00 L

Initial pressure = 50.0 KPa

Final volume = 20.0 mL (20/1000=0.02 L)

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

50.0 KPa × 2.00L = P₂ × 0.02 L

P₂ = 100 KPa. L/0.02 L

P₂ = 5000 KPa

If a farmer wants to increase the health of his crops, he could apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer. why is nitrogen important to
Finger [1]
Not only for plants, but also for every organism and every life form nitrogen is important because  it poses as catalyst that supports different is chemical reactions of growth. N is filled with chlorophyll that actually gives you the answer on the question as chlorophyll allow plant to perform photosynthesis by absorbing energy from light that leads to the growth. So, it is important because it provides <span>photosynthesis.</span>

What was a major accomplishment of the Apollo mission
denpristay [2]
Hi there!

The <span>major accomplishment of the Apollo missions was to successfully land Americans on the Moon and to return them safely to Earth. One major reason for this was to establish a way for us to travel to other celestial bodies safely so we could research them and study how they work or to see if they are inhabitable.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

What can occur in physical change ?
Alexandra [31]

Within a physical change, an element can change forms, such as going from solid to a liquid through melting. Color change can also occur during a physical change. Physical changes are very different from chemical changes. In a chemical change the element itself changes into something else within a reaction, such as combustion (burning).


Hope this helped
