Which type of weathering helped to form barrier islands

Chemistry
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
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.

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.

Stolb23 [73]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the reaction: NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)

Kc = 0.30 at some temperature.

If the initial mixture has the concentrations below, the system is_______.

Chemicals   Concentration (mol/L)

- NO₂            0.024

- CO               0.360

- NO               0.180

- CO₂             0.120

Possible answers:

1) not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.

2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

3) not at equilibrium and will shift to the right to achieve an equilibrium state.

4) at equilibrium

Answer : The correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

First we have to determine the value of reaction quotient (Qc).

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

NO_2(g)+CO(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+CO_2(g)

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q_c=\frac{[NO][CO_2]}{[NO_2][CO]}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q_c=\frac{(0.180)\times (0.120)}{(0.024)\times (0.360)}=2.5

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When Q>K that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When Q that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When Q=K that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

The given equilibrium constant value is, K_c=0.30

From the above we conclude that, the Q>K that means reactant < product. So, the reaction is reactant favored that means reaction must shift to the reactant or left to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) not at equilibrium and will shift to the left to achieve an equilibrium state.
