What is chemical weathering

Chemistry
1 answer:
natima [27]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.

Consider this reaction: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light equation C6H12O6 + 6 O2 If there were 2.38 x 102 g of H2O, 18.6 moles of CO2, and
alisha [4.7K]

H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

Balanced chemical equation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light equation → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The amount of product that can be created is constrained by the reactant that is consumed first in a chemical reaction, commonly referred to as the limiting reactant (or limiting reagent).

Given

No. of moles of CO₂ = 18.6

Mass of H₂O = 2.38 × 10² g = 238g

No. of moles of H₂O = Given mass/ Molar mass

                                = 238 / 18 = 13.22 moles

Moles of H₂O = 13.22

According to the balanced chemical equation

6 moles of CO₂ react with 6 moles of H₂O

So the reactant that has less number of moles will be consumed first.

As the No. of moles of H₂O < No. of moles of CO₂

So, H₂O is the limiting reactant with 13.22 moles.

Hence, H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

Calculate the number of grams of solute in 814.2mL of 0.227 M calcium acetate
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Mass = 29.23 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 814.2 mL 814.2/1000 = 0.8142 L)

Molarity of solution = 0.227 M

Mass of solute in gram = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

0.227 M = number of moles / 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.227 M × 0.8142 L

Number of moles = 0.184 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 0.184 mol × 158.17 g/mol

Mass = 29.23 g

Why are plastic containers preferred to glass containers for storing chemicals in the laboratory?
Nookie1986 [14]
Plastics are non-corrosive and non-reactive in nature. So they are used for storing chemicals in the laboratory. They are used for strong chemicals because they do not react with chemicals neither do they corrode

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fusion but NOT nuclear fission?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The answer is B. is the energy source of stars.

Fission is the type of nuclear energy simulated on Earth, as it is the one used to generate electricity. Fusion, on the other hand, is much more complicated to achieve because it requires extremely hot temperatures compared to fission. Fusion involves the combination of two hydrogen atoms to make helium, which releases a lot of energy. Stars such as the sun, exhibit fusion with its very hot temperature and abundant source of hydrogen.
