Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Weathering is usually defined as the disintegration of rocks at the surface of the earth. This break down of rocks is mainly caused by the geological processes that occur on the earth's surface. This process results in the formation of sediments that are transported and deposited in a new environment.

This weathering process primarily takes place in three different ways such as-

  • Physical weathering- Here, the rocks are broken down by the physical agents such as wind, water, ice.
  • Chemical weathering- Here the rocks are broken down when interacts with the chemical containing water.
  • Biological weathering- here, the rocks are broken down due to the activities done by organisms such as plants and animals.

In the given condition, Quincy can see a real example of rock weathering in the high mountainous region, as in the mountainous region the rocks are frequently weathered and eroded by the agents such as wind, water, and ice.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in
otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.

What is the pH of a 0.08 M solution of Ca(OH),?
torisob [31]

Answer:

pH = 12.20

Explanation:

Ca(OH)2 is a strong base, so it dissociates completely. A 0.08 M solution of Ca(OH)2 is 0.16 M OH-, since every mole of Ca(OH)2 has 2 OH-.

Calculate pOH using [OH-] = 0.16 M

pOH = -log(0.16) = 0.80

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 0.80 = 12.20
