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.

KCl and KBr are both ionic solids. A mixture of KCl and KBr has a mass of 3.595 g. When this mixture is heated in the presence o
monitta

Answer:

The percentage (by mass) of KBr in the original mixture was 33.1%.

Explanation:

The mixture of KCl and KBr has a mass of 3.595g, thus the sum of the moles of KCl (<em>x</em>) multiplied by it molar mass (74.5g/mol) and the moles of KBr (<em>y</em>) multiplied by it molar mass (119g/mol) is the total mass of the mixture:

x.74.5g/mol + y.119g/mol = 3.595g

Also, after the conversion of KBr into KCl, the total mass of 3.129 g is only from KCl moles, hence

\frac{3.129g}{74.5g/mol} = 0.042 moles

But the 0.042 moles came from the originals KCl and KBr moles, thus

x + y = 0.042moles

Now it is possible to propose a system of equations:

x.74.5g/mol + y.119g/mol = 3.595g

x + y = 0.042moles

Solving the system of equations,

x=0.032moles\\y=0.010 moles

0.010 moles of KBr multiplied it molar mass is

0.010molesx119g/mol = 1.19g

Therefore, the percentage (by mass) of KBr in the original mixture was:

\frac{1.19g}{3.595g}x100% = 33.1%%

200 ml is 1/5 of a liter, so the answer is five times the number of moles present in the solution. 0.6 moles/0.2 liter = x moles/1.0 liter. Solving for x gives 0.2 x = 0.6 or x = 3.0 M

so the answer is c
