Explain how cross cutting principles (intrusions, inclusions, faults) help to determine the relative age of a rock layer.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. ... So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen. The intrusion (D) cuts through the three sedimentary rock layers, so it must be younger than those layers

Which of the following displays the correct change in enthalpy and best describes the reaction below? 2CsCl(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) 2Na

Bond [772]

We subtract the enthalpies of the reactants from that of the products:
$2\Delta
 H(NaCl)+\Delta H(Cs_2 SO_4)-2\Delta H(CsCl)-\Delta H(Na_2 SO_4) \\ 
=2(-411)+(-1400) -2(-415)-(-1380) \\ = -12 kJ$
Since this is < 0, this is an exothermic reaction.
