Examine the layers of rock. How does layering provide evidence for determining geologic age?

2 answers:

5 0

Well I can’t see the rocks but, to determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones.

Hope this helped! <3

Answer:

the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get.

Explanation:

layering can provide evidence because the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get. So when the scientists go in to the rock they can say what animals lived in that time and what animal was the oldest.

Why are pipes bursting in the in extremely cold weather?

avanturin [10]

Water is the only common substance that when you freeze it, it's volume INCREASES.

When the pipe originally held the "all full" volume and the the water expanded, it put a tremendous amount of pressure on the pipe. Enough pressure and the pipe would burst.

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes to phosphorus trichloride at high temperatures according to the equation:

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₅(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

And knowing:

Kc = [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

When you add PCl₅ into a flask, this gas will react producing PCl₃ and Cl₂ until [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

This could be written as:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

<em>Where X represents the moles of PCl₅ that react, </em><em>reaction coordinate.</em>

Replacing in Kc expression:

[PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

[X [X] / [0.125 - X] = 1.80

X² = 0.225 - 1.80X

0 = -X² -1.80X + 0.225

Solving for X:

X = -1.9M → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.11735M → Right solution.

Replacing, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

[PCl₃] = 0.117M

[Cl₂] = 0.117M

[PCl₅] = 0.00765M

And right option is:

For a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k, calculate the inner diameter if you are designing for

bonufazy [111]

The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m

<h3>What is Stack Height ?</h3>

Stack height means the distance from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack to the crown of the stack.

If a stack arises from a building or other structure, the ground-level elevation of that building or structure will be used as the base elevation of the stack.

Given is a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 cu.m/min of gases

P= 1 atm and

T= 400 K

maximum expected wind speed at stack height of 12 m/s

The formula for the diameter of chimney

$\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4Q}{\pi v} }$

Q =1200 cu.m/min

= 1200 * 0.0166 = 19.92 cu.m/sec

Velocity = 12m/s

$\rm d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 19.92}{3.14*12} }\\$

d= 1.45 m

Therefore The inner diameter for a steel stack that exhausts 1,200 m3/min of gases at 1 atm and 400 k is 1.45 m.
