Where does regional metamorphism usually occur ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks (protoliths) by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions (temperature, lithostatic pressure, and, in most cases, shear stress). Regional metamorphism occurs over broad areas in the lithosphere, possibly influenced by the heat supply. Regional metamorphic rock results from regional metamorphism and usually develops a flaky texture.  These changes are essentially solid-state reactions, but very often a fluid phase is present, either participating in the reaction or as a reaction medium. Many regional metamorphic rocks have a chemical composition that is very similar to that of their sedimentary or igneous precursors, with the exception of removal or addition of volatiles (mainly H2O and CO2). This type of behavior is termed isochemical metamorphism. Metamorphism may also take place as a result of a change in chemical environment; this may occur by transport of elements between chemically contrasting rock types (e.g., formation of calc-silicate minerals at a quartzite–marble contact) or by circulation of fluids that dissolve some substances and precipitate others. This process of significant chemical change during metamorphism is known as allo-chemical metamorphism or metasomatism, and rocks formed in this manner are metasomatic rocks. Metasomatism is, however, mostly of local significance, and the total volume of metasomatic rocks in regional metamorphic terranes is rather minor. The distinction between metasomatism and is chemical metamorphism is also a matter of scale. On the scale of individual grains, mass transport takes place during all phase transformations; on the scale of a thin section, it is probably the rule for regional metamorphism; on the scale of a hand (sized) specimen, it can be observed frequently; and on a larger scale, it is the exception.

Hope this Helps!

Triss [41]

The substances that are formed by a chemical change are called the product.

While the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume and a definite shape is the solid.

In a chemical reaction, the reactant on the left hand side undergoes a chemical change and gives product.

While in a solid state, a material has a definite volume and a definite shape is the solid.

What is the mass,in grams, of 2.75 L of CO2 gas
frez [133]

Answer:

mass of CO₂ = 5.402 g

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of any gas takes up 22.4L of volume

Thus, 1 mole = 22.4 L

1 L = 1 mole ÷ 22.4

Therefore, 2.75 L = 2.75 mole ÷ 22.4 = 0.123 moles

Molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

mass of CO₂ = molecular weight * number of moles = 44 g/mole * 0.123 moles

mass of CO₂ = 5.402 g
