Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:O B. Weak acid breaks down minerals by reacting with them.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the process whereby rain water which sometimes can be acidic ( As rain falls down it reacts with CO2 in the atmosphere and form acid rain), This  reacts  with the minerals contained in rocks, dissolves and degrades  them further to form entire  new minerals.

An example of a rock that is greatly affected by overexposure of  acid rain is  limestone containing calcite  which easily degrades by acid rain.

Other processes whereby Chemical weathering can occur are through reaction with water and oxygen.

Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration of a 0.200 M solution of HCIO4
Aleksandr [31]

The concentration of hydroxide ion is  5  \times 10^ − 14  M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider the equilibrium of this acid's dissociation,

                          H C l O 4  ⇌  H +  +  C l O  4 -

Moreover, let's assume that  H C l O 4  is a strong acid and will fully dissociate.

Hence,

                              [ H + ]  =  0.20  M

Now, recall,  

                  K w  =  [ H + ] [ O H − ]  =  1.0  \times 10 ^− 14

Hence,

                  ⇒ [ O H − ]  =  K w  / [ H + ]  = 5  \times 10^ − 14  M.

Since helium is lighter than air, it is difficult to measure the mass of a sample, so to find out the mass of helium in a birthd
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

0.7457 g is the mass of the helium gas.

Explanation:

Given:  

Pressure = 3.04 atm

Temperature = 25.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 1.50 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

3.04 atm × 1.50 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

<u>⇒n = 0.1863 moles</u>

Molar mass of helium = 4.0026 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.1863\ mole= \frac{Mass}{4.0026\ g/mol}

Mass_{He}= 0.7457\ g

<u>0.7457 g is the mass of the helium gas. </u>

An aqueous antifreeze solution is 60.0% ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH) by mass and has a density of 1.06 g/mL. Calculate the molal
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

[HOCH₂CH₂OH] = 24.1 m

Explanation:

Ethylene glycol → HOCH₂CH₂OH

60% by mass means that 60 g of ethylene glycol are contained in 100 g of solution.

Solution mass = Solute mass + Solvent mass

100 g = 60 g + Solvent mass

Solvent mass = 40 g

Molality are the moles of solute contained in 1kg of solvent.

We determine the moles of solute → 60 g . 1mol/62 g = 0.967 moles

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg → 40 g . 1kg/1000 g = 0.04 kg

Molality → 0.967 mol / 0.04 kg = 24.1 m
