Andesitic rock is an igneous rock with a composition in between that of basaltic and granitic igneous rock.

1 answer:

7 0

ANDESITE is a fine grained rock that formed when magma irrupt it onto the surface and crystallized quickly ANDESITE & DIORITE have a composition that is intermediate between basalt.This is because their parent magmas formed from the PARTIAL melting of a BASALTIC oceanic plate.

The effect of a catalyst on an equilibrium is to ________. Select one: a. increase the rate of the forward reaction only b. slow

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction. We check for the correctness of each of the options as follows:

A. Is wrong.

A catalyst can increase the rate of the forward and backward reaction

B. Is wrong

A catalyst does not slow the reverse reaction only. This particular case is the case of a negative catalyst

C is wrong

A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium nor the equilibrium constant

D is wrong

Catalyst has no effect on equilibrium value

E is correct

Although Catalysts has no effect on equilibrium or its constant value, it can increase the the rate at which equilibrium is achieved by speeding up the reaction through bringing down the activation energy

How would a collapsing universe affect light emitted from clusters and superclusters? A. Light would acquire a blueshift. B. Lig

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Choice A: Light would acquire a blueshift.

Explanation:

When a universe collapses, clusters of stars start to move towards each other. There are two ways to explain why light from these stars will acquire a blueshift.

Stars move toward each other; Frequency increases due to Doppler's Effect.

The time period $t$ of a beam of light is the same as the time between two consecutive peaks. If $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the beam, and both the source and observer are static, the time period $T$ will be the same as the time it takes for light travel the distance of one $\lambda$ (at the speed of light in vacuum, $c$ ).

$\displaystyle t = \frac{\lambda}{c}$ .

Frequency $f$ is the reciprocal of time period. Therefore

$\displaystyle f = \frac{1}{t} = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ .

Light travels in vacuum at a constant speed. However, in a collapsing universe, the star that emit the light keeps moving towards the observer. Let the distance between the star and the observer be $d$ when the star sent the first peak.

Distance from the star when the first peak is sent: $d$ .
Time taken for the first peak to arrive: $\displaystyle t_1 =\frac{d}{c}$ .

The star will emit its second peak after a time of. Meanwhile, the distance between the star and the observer keeps decreasing. Let $v$ be the speed at which the star approaches the observer. The star will travel a distance of $v\cdot t$ before sending the second peak.

Distance from the star when the second peak is sent: $d - v\cdot t$ .
Time taken for the second peak to arrive: $\displaystyle t_2 =t + \frac{d - v\cdot t}{c}$ .

The period of the light is $t$ when emitted from the star. However, the period will appear to be shorter than $t$ for the observer. The time period will appear to be:

$\begin{aligned}\displaystyle t' &= t_2 - t_1\\ &= t + \frac{d - v\cdot t}{c} - \frac{d}{c}\\&= t + (\frac{d}{c} - \frac{v\cdot t}{c}) -\frac{d}{c}\\&= t - \frac{v\cdot t}{c} \end{aligned}$ .

The apparent time period $t'$ is smaller than the initial time period, $t$ . Again, the frequency of a beam of light is inversely proportional to its period. A smaller time period means a higher frequency. Colors at the high-frequency end of the visible spectrum are blue and violet. The color of the beam of light will shift towards the blue end of the spectrum when observed than when emitted. In other words, a collapsing universe will cause a blueshift on light from distant stars.

The Space Fabric Shrinks; Wavelength decreases as the space is compressed.

When the universe collapses, one possibility is that clusters of stars move towards each other. Alternatively, the space fabric might shrink, which will also bring the clusters toward each other.

It takes time for light from a distant cluster to reach an observer on the ground. The space fabric keeps shrinking while the beam of light makes its way through the space. The wavelength of the beam will shrink at the same rate. The wavelength of the beam of light will be shorter by the time the beam arrives at its destination.

Colors at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum are blue and violet. Again, the color of the light will shift towards the blue end of the spectrum. The conclusion will be the same: a collapsing universe will cause a blueshift on light from distant stars.

A solution of barium nitrate has 61.2g of barium nitrate in 1 liter of solution. How many mg of barium are there in 7.5 quarts

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

220.44g Ba²⁺ ions in solution

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of barium nitrate = 61.2g

Volume of solution = 1 liter

Unkown:

Mass of barium in 7.5quarts of solution?

Solution

We must first convert quarts to its liter equivalence:

1 quarts = 0.95 liter

7.5 quarts = 0.95 x 7.5; 7.125liter

Now, let us find the mass of barium nitrate in a solution of 7.125liter:

Given:

1 liter of solution contains 61.2g of barium nitrate:

7.125 liter will contain 7.125 x 61.2 = 436.05g of barium nitrate.

The formula of the compound is Ba(NO₃)₂:

In solution we have Ba²⁺ + NO₃⁻

Ba(NO₃)₂ → Ba²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = $\frac{mass of Ba(NO₃)₂}{Molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂}$

Molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 137 + 2[14 + 3(16)] = 271g/mol

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = $\frac{436.05}{271}$ = 1.609mole

1 mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ will produce 1 mole of Ba²⁺ ions in solution

therefore, 1.609mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ will also yield 1.609mole of Ba²⁺ ions in solution

Mass of Ba²⁺ ions = Number of moles of Ba²⁺ ions x molar mass of Ba²⁺ ions

Mass of Ba²⁺ ions = 1.609 x 137 = 220.44g

n an experiment, 39.26 mL of 0.1062 M NaOH solution was required to titrate 37.54 mL of \ v unknown acetic acid solution to a ph

olasank [31]

Answer:

Molarity: 0.111M

% (w/w): 0.666

Explanation:

The reaction of NaOH with acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is:

NaOH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O

where 1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of acetic acid producing 1 mole of water and 1 mole of sodium acetate.

As 39.26mL ≡ 0.03926L of 0.1062M are required to titrate the solution of acetic acid. Moles are:

0.03926L × (0.1062mol / L) = 4.169x10⁻³ moles of NaOH. As 1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of acetic acid:

4.169x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH.

Molarity is defined as ratio between moles of substance and volume of solution in liters. Thus, molarity of acetic acid solution is:

4.169x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH / 0.03754L = 0.111M

As molar mass of acetic acid is 60g/mol, 4.169x10⁻³ moles weights:

4.169x10⁻³ moles × (60g / mol) = 0.2501 g of acetic acid

Now, assuming density of solution as 1.00g/mL, 37.54mL weights 37.54g.

Thus, percent by weight is:

0.2501g CH₃COOH / 37.54g × 100 = 0.666% (w/w)
