While hiking last year, Mike saw a large boulder next to a mountain trail. The boulder had no cracks. While hiking on the trail

this year, he saw two large cracks in the boulder.
Which of the following most likely caused these cracks to form?
Shaking from high winds.
Pressure from flowing water.
Erosion due to falling rain and snow.
Weathering due to freezing and thawing.

Answer: weathering due to freezing and thawing

Explanation:

The reason that caused these cracks to form is weathering due to freezing and thawing.

Weathering simply means the breaking down of rocks. In this situation, the boulder is freezed and thawed and due to this, as time progresses, it'll gradually be broken down. This is the reason why Mike saw the cracks even though there were no cracks the last time he went hiking.

We might think of a porous material as being a composite wherein one of the phases is a pore phase. Estimate upper and lower lim
eduard

Answer:

The upper and lower limits for the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a magnesium oxide material having a volume fraction of 0.10 of pores that are filled with still air are

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

Explanation:

As we know  

Ku = Vp * Kair + Vmagnesium * K metal  

Ku = 0.10 *0.02 + (1-0.25) * 51

Ku = 38.252 W/mK

The lower limit  

K lower = Kmetal* Kair/( Vp * Kmetal + Vmetal * K air)

K lower = (0.02*51)/(0.10*51 + 0.90 * 0.02)

K lower = 0.199 W/mK

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

pH = 8.0

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

35.8 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.020mol}{L} =7.2\times 10^{-4}mol

Let's consider the balanced equation.

C₂H₄O₃ + NaOH ⇒ C₂H₃O₃Na + H₂O

The molar ratio C₂H₄O₃: NaOH: C₂H₃O₃Na is 1: 1: 1. So, when 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of NaOH react completely with 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₄O₃ they form 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₃O₃Na.

The concentration of C₂H₃O₃Na is:

\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}mol}{60.8 \times 10^{-3}L} =0.012M

C₂H₃O₃Na dissociates according to the following equation:

C₂H₃O₃Na(aq) ⇒ C₂H₃O₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

C₂H₃O₃⁻ comes from a weak acid so it undergoes basic hydrolisis.

C₂H₃O₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₄O₃ + OH⁻

If we know that pKa for C₂H₄O₃ is 3.9, we can calculate pKb for C₂H₃O₃⁻ using the following expression:

pKa + pKb = 14

pKb = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

10.1 = -log Kb

Kb = 7.9 × 10⁻¹¹

We can calculate [OH⁻] using the following expression:

[OH⁻] = √(Kb.Cb)               <em>where Cb is the initial concentration of the base</em>

[OH⁻] = √(7.9 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.012M) = 9.7 × 10⁻⁷ M

Now, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (9.7 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.0

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.0 = 8.0
