Which type of weathering helped to form barrier islands

1 answer:

7 0

Barrier islands typically have sand in the beach zone and dune field, and mud in the back-barrier. Overwash deposits sand in the back-barrier.

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. ... When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed.

<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.

Required

The average atomic mass

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%

Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128

Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84

Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu

What volume of carbon dioxide, at 1 atm pressure and 112°C, will be produced when 80.0 grams of methane is burned?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

158 L.

Explanation:

What is given?

Pressure (P) = 1 atm.

Temperature (T) = 112 °C + 273 = 385 K.

Mass of methane CH4 (g) = 80.0 g.

Molar mass of methane CH4 = 16 g/mol.

R constant = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K.

What do we need? Volume (V).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use ideal gas law: the ideal gas law is a single equation which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas. The formula is:

$PV=nRT.$

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the constant and T is temperature.

So, let's find the number of moles that are in 80.0 g of methane using its molar mass. This conversion is:

$80.0g\text{ CH}_4\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CH}_4}{16\text{ g CH}_4}=5\text{ moles CH}_4.$

So, in this case, n=5.

Now, let's solve for 'V' and replace the given values in the ideal gas law equation:

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{5\text{ moles }\cdot0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}\cdot385K}{1\text{ atm}}=158.04\text{ L}\approx158\text{ L.}$

The volume would be 158 L.
