How do freeze-thaw cycles cause weathering?

Chemistry
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. When water moves into a crack and freezes, it expands and forces the crack wider.

Explanation:

A crack in a rock can fill with water which then freezes as the temperature drops. As the ice expands, it pushes the crack apart, making the crack larger. When the temperature rises again, the ice melts, and the water fills the newer parts of the crack. Once the water freezes again when the temperature drops, the expansion of the ice causes further expansion to the crack.

How many grams of silver nitrate are needed to react with 156.2g of sodium sulfide to produce 595.8g of silver sulfide and 340.0
qaws [65]
Before proceeding, we should write the reaction equation to better understand what is happening:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂S → Ag₂S + 2NaNO₃

Now, we may apply the law of conservation of mass, due to which the total mass before a chemical reaction is equivalent to the total mass after a chemical reaction. Therefore:
Mass of silver nitrate + mass of sodium sulfide = mass of silver sulfide + mass of sodium nitrate

Mass of silver nitrate + 156.2 = 595.8 + 340
Mass of silver nitrate = 779.6 grams

Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the __________ of the reaction.
irga5000 [103]

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:

A + B → CΔH = (±) #

Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 43.6% phosphorus
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

d.   P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P :  43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O:  56.4 / 15.999 =  3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

Predict whether each of the following is soluble in water or not.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The soluble in water are a and b. c is not soluble in water

Explanation:

The water solubility of a compound, it depends its polarity (. KHSO4 has several polar molecules, actually it has ions charged positively like K and H, and charged negatively like sulfate (SO4-2). When it happens, molecules can do hydrogen bridges with water. It is because of above, KHSO4 can be used in wine making. Something similar happens with propylen glycol but in this case the polar part is OH- ions. Benzene has not polar parts. It is totally apolar compound.
