Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Group of answer choices
hydrochloric acid
sodium bicarbonate
calcium carbonate
sodium chloride
sodium hydroxide
Answer:
calcium carbonate
Explanation:
A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.
A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.
Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Answer:
D. Surface tension.
Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit amount.
The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:
A molecule in a liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions while molecules at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).
c = v x f
We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.
2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m
Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.
