Answer:

Plucking occurs when rocks and stones become frozen to the base or sides of the glacier and are plucked from the ground or rock face as the glacier moves. HOPE THIS HELPS!~

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.

Consider a mixture of two gases, A and B, confined in a closed vessel. A quantity of a third gas, C, is added to the same vessel

n200080 [17]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Consider a mixture of two gases, A and B, confined in a closed vessel. A quantity of a third gas, C, is added to the same vessel at the same temperature. How does the addition of gas C affect the following. The mole fraction of gas B?

A mixture of gases contains 10.25 g of N₂, 2.05 g of H₂, and 7.63 g of NH₃.

Answer: The mole fraction of gas B (hydrogen gas) is 0.557

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For nitrogen gas:

Given mass of nitrogen gas = 10.25 g

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{10.25g}{28g/mol}=0.366mol$

For hydrogen gas:

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 2.05 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{2.05g}{2g/mol}=1.025mol$

For ammonia gas:

Given mass of ammonia gas = 7.63 g

Molar mass of ammonia gas = 17 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonia gas}=\frac{7.63g}{17g/mol}=0.449mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B+n_C}$

Moles of gas B (hydrogen gas) = 1.025 moles

Total moles = [0.366 + 1.025 + 0.449] = 1.84 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{(H_2)}=\frac{1.025}{1.84}=0.557$

Hence, the mole fraction of gas B (hydrogen gas) is 0.557

freezing a sealed full bottl of water leads to a broken bottle and freezing a sealed full flexible wall container of n butyl alc

Nataly [62]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that water begins to expand at 4°C. This is generally referred to as the anomalous behavior of water.

The implication of this is that ice has a greater volume than water. Thus ice is less dense than liquid water.

n-butyl alcohol has much less density than water. This accounts for the fact that water upon freezing breaks the bottle while n butyl alcholol leads to a container with concave walls.

Hence the density of ice is much higher than the density of n butyl alcohol.

How does precipitation grow by ice processes

prohojiy [21]

Basically when frozen water/ice crystals high in the atmosphere collect water vapor molecules they grow. They are sometimes supplied by microscopic cloud droplets.
