Answer:

Compaction and Cementation

Dissolved minerals in the ground water precipitate (crystallize) from water in the pore spaces forming mineral crusts on the sedimentary grains, gradually cementing the sediments, thus forming a rock

Consider the reaction: 2clf3(g) + 2nh3(g) → n2(g) + 6hf(g) + cl2(g) when calculating the δh°rxn, why is the δhf° for n2 not impo

Leni [432]

<span>Actually, the heat of reaction hrxn s calculated by taking the sum of the heats of formation of the products minus the sum of the heats of formation of the reactants. However, at heat of formations of pure elements at atmospheric conditions is zero, therefore the hf of N2 is not important since it is zero anyway.</span>

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
