While exploring an ancient lava field, a geologist discovers a piece of granite that has a coating of soft, crumbling rust. What

is the most likely explanation for this rust?
A.
Exposure to air has caused the iron-bearing minerals in the granite to oxidize.
B.
At some point in the past, a river flowed over the field, depositing the rust on top of the granite.
C.
Exposure to acid precipitation has worn away the granite's exterior, revealing its soft interior.
D.
Snails and fungi living in the lava field have secreted chemicals that reacted with the granite to form rust.

Answer:

A. Exposure to air has caused the iron-bearing minerals in the granite to oxidize.

Explanation:

The main cause of granite rust is a metal substance that remains in it's contact over a long period of time. As a result of a moist or wet environment, . a geologist discovers a piece of granite that has a coating of soft, crumbling rust.

Exposure to air has caused the iron-bearing minerals in the granite to oxidize.

Option A. is correct.

Which word best discribes entropy
salantis [7]

Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.

Estimate ΔH for the reaction using bond dissociation energies from Table 7.1. Give your answer in kcal. C6H12O6 has five C−C bon
Nat2105 [25]

The equation for the photosynthesis reaction in which carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose is . The hear reaction is the difference between the bond dissociation energies in the products and the bond dissociation energies of the reactants

 

The reactant molecules have 12 C = O, 12 H - O bonds while the product molecules have 5 C - C, 7 C – O, 5 H – O, and 6 O = O bonds. The average bond dissociation energies for the bonds involved in the reaction are 191 for C = O, 112 for H – O, 83 C –C, 99 C – H, 86 C – O, 119 O = O.

 

Substitute the average bond dissociation energies in the equation for and calculate as follows

= [12 (C=O) + 12 (H-O)] – [5(C-C) + 7(C-H) + 7 (C-O) + 5(H-O) + 6(O=O)]

= [12x191 kcal/mol + 12x112 kcal//mol] – [5x83 kcal/mol + 7x99 kcal/mol + 7x86 kcal/mol + 5x112 kcal/mol + 6x119 kcal/mol]

= 3636 kcal/mol – 2984 kcal/mol = 652 kcal/mol x 4.184 Kj/1kcal = 2.73x10^3 kJ/mol

 

So, enthalpy change for the reaction is 652 kcal/mol or 2.73x10^3 kJ/mol

What is the formula of a compound in which element y form ccp lattice and atom x occupy 1/3rd of tetrahedral voids
Kisachek [45]
Y : CCP : 4 atoms
X : tetrahedral voids would be 1/3 × 8 = 8/3

so formula would be Y12X8 or Y3X2 !!

A fuel tank holds 22.3 gallons of gasoline. If the density is 0.8206 g/mL, what is the mass in kilograms of gasoline in a full t
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

m=69.3kg

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the density is computed by dividing the mass of the substance by its occupied volume (d=m/V), we first need to realize that 0.8206 g/mL is the same to 0.8206 kg/L, which means we first need to compute the volume in L:

V=22.3gal*\frac{3.78541L}{1gal}=84.415L

Then, solving for the mass in d=m/V, we get m=d*V and therefore the mass of gasoline in that full tank turns out:

m=0.8206g/L*84.415L\\\\m=69.3kg

Best regards!
