The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:
E = m(ΔH)
where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting
According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.
E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J
The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.
Answer: The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that (It must have been broken down into sediments).
Explanation:
Rocks are solid structures that occurs naturally which is made up of different minerals. There are three main types of rocks, these includes:
--> METAMORPHIC ROCKS: These are the type of rocks which are formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.
--> SEDIMENTARY ROCKS: these rocks are usually formed from pre-existing rocks through the process of weathering (breaking down) of rocks.
--> IGNEOUS ROCKS: these rocks are formed when molten magma cools beneath or above the earth surface.
The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that the igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by erosion and weathering processes. Sediments which are formed accumulates at the earth surface. Over a long period of time, these sediments builds successive layers on top of one another. The sediments near the base hardens to form sedimentary rocks. This justifies the statement as a correct option (It must have been broken down into sediments).
