Carbonic acid
dissolves limestone and other rocks. This is an example of chemical erosion. An
example is in the caves. Caves are formed where rainwater as it falls
through the atmosphere absorbs carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide makes the
rain acidic to react it with the limestone bedrock. The rainwater is absorbed
by the soil into the ground. Then as it enters through the soil, the rainwater
will absorb more carbon dioxide that is produced by the decomposers. The carbon
dioxide with water reacts to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid will react
to limestone and dissolves it slowly. As the space become larger, water can
enter into it.
For any element the nucleus consists of neutrons and protons while electrons orbit around the nucleus, (3)
Answer:
Sphere
Explanation:
The shape of the s-sublevel is spherical in shape.
This sublevel has an azimuthal quantum number of 0 and it is spherical in shape;
- p - sublevel has a dumb-bell shape
- d - sublevel has double dumb - bell shape
- f - sublevel has a complex shape
Answer:
Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = 24.54 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = ?
Mass of chlorine gas formed = 15 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂
Number of moles of Cl₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 15 g/ 71 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.21 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl from balance chemical equation.
Cl₂ : NaCl
1 : 2
0.21 : 2×0.21 = 0.42 mol
Mass of Sodium chloride decompose:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.42 mol × 58.44 g/mol
Mass = 24.54 g
It contains nutrients and minerals that could sustain biological life
