First, it combines with carbon dioxide in the soil to form a weak acid called carbonic acid. ... Carbonic acid slowly dissolves away minerals in rock, especially the carbonate minerals that make up limestone and marble. The weak acid decomposes the insoluble rock into watersoluble products that move into the groundwater.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT

P = 2.90 atm
V = 4.80 L
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K
T = 62.0 + 273 = 335 K (make sure you convert from celsius to kelvin)

n = (2.90 • 4.80) / (0.08206 • 335) = 0.506 moles of gas

How natural plants and wetlands purify water
DedPeter [7]
Plants and wetlands purify water by acting as filter media. The roots of the plants and the wetlands would trap pollutants like sediments and hold onto the. In wetlands, the flow of water is slow allowing for the sediments to settle due to gravity onto the bottom where the plants would accumulate them into place. With this, excess nutrients would be remove and will prevent polluting bodies of water. Also, bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella can be filtered out from the water. There are plants that works excellent for filtering out pollutants like the lilies, hornwort, bulrushes and rushes.

The chemical formula of bromomethane is BrCH3. Which correctly describes the number of atoms of each element in bromomethane?
Anit [1.1K]

The number of atoms of each element :

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Bromomethane-CH₃Br

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

Total 5 atoms

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron
katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
