'The Sedimentary rock formed from years of sediments piling on top of it and being compressed.'
Answer:
The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>
Explanation:
This is generally known as relative atomic mass.
Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.
<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>
- <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
- <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>
Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)
= 2.035 + 8.1
= 10.135
Answer:
Magnesium carbonate doesn't dissolve in water, only acid, where it will effervesce (bubble).
Explanation:
An insoluble metal carbonate reacts with a dilute acid to form a soluble salt. Magnesium carbonate, a white solid, and dilute sulfuric acid react to produce magnesium sulfate. Colourless magnesium sulfate heptahydrate crystals are obtained from this solution.
True
Explanation:
Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.
- After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
- It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
- After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
- Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
- This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.
