What is chemical weathering

Chemistry
1 answer:
natima [27]3 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 the above reaction. If some CO2 were removed from the container, what would the reaction do in an attempt to replace th
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction to be considered is shown below;

H2CO3<------->CO2 + H2O

We know  that when a constraint such as a sudden change in concentration, pressure or temperature is imposed on  a reaction system in equilibrium, the system has to adjust itself by shifting in a particular direction in order to cancel the constraint.

Now, if we remove CO2, the equilibrium position must shift to the right by the decomposition of more H2CO3 to establish equilibrium again.

How do the bonds differ in<br> each type?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Bonds basically differs with each other due to sharing of electrons .

Explanation:

There are majorly three kinds of bonds

1. Ionic bonds which forms due to an element donate an electron to another element completely .

2. covalent bonds which forms with the mutual sharing of electrons b/w two atoms .

3. metallic bonds which forms b/w metals & they share electrons due to electron negativity difference b/w two atoms or elements

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?
baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
