I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then moved away to another location.
526 L O2 x 1 mol O2 / 22.4 L = 23.5 mol O2
The net ionic equation of the reaction could be determined by cancelling out the like ions between both sides of the reaction. These ions are called spectator ions. They are called as such because they do not actively participate in the reaction. The spectator ions are Na+ and Cl-. When you cancel those, the equation would become letter D.
