Answer:

Abrasion occurs when the ice sheet scours and wears away at the underlying rock, gradually wearing it down over time. Plucking occurs when the chunks of rock become bonded to the ice sheet, so that when the ice sheet moves it carries the chunks of rock with it. Both of these processes wear away a rock body until a distinct formation develops. In this case, a glacier horn may develop.

How many molecules of Ca are found in a sample with 0.2 mols?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

$\boxed{1.2 \times 10^{23}\text{ atoms}}$

Explanation:

6.023 × 10²³ atoms of Ca are in 1 mol of Ca

$\text{No. of atoms} = \text{0.2 mol} \times \dfrac{6.023 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms }}{\text{1 mol }} = \mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}}\\\\\text{There are }\boxed{\mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}} \text{ atoms in 0.20 mol of Ca}$
