Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Group of answer choices
hydrochloric acid
sodium bicarbonate
calcium carbonate
sodium chloride
sodium hydroxide
Answer:
calcium carbonate
Explanation:
A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.
A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.
Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.
Answer:
71.5g
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as:
C + O₂ → CO₂
Mass of C = 42g
Mass of O₂ = 52g
Unknown:
Mass of CO₂ produced = ?
Solution
Now to solve this problem, we have to find limiting reactant which is the one given in short supply in this reaction.
The extent of the reaction is controlled by this reactant.
Find the number of moles of the given species;
Number of moles = 
Number of moles of C = 
= 3.5mol
Number of moles of O₂ = 
= 1.63mol
Now;
From the balanced reaction equation;
1 mole of C reacted with 1 mole of O₂
We see that C is in excess and O₂ is the limiting reactant.
1 mole of O₂ will produce 1 mole of CO₂
So; 1.63mole of O₂ will produce 1.63 mole of CO₂
Mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44g/mol
Mass of CO₂ = 1.63 x 44 = 71.5g
Answer:
Compound consist of molecules that are identical, this molecules are made up of atoms of two or more elements. An element is identified based on the atomic property of the element. Water as a compound is composed of 2 Hydrogen atom to 1 oxygen atom and the molecule is H2O.
The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.
Joule = M × T × C
Where, M = mass
T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)
C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram
Substituting the values in the equation,
1160 = M × 19 × 1.716
M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g
Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g
<h3>What is meant by specific heat capacity?</h3>
A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)
<h3>What is mass?</h3>
Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.

Answer:
last choice
Explanation:
oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of adding or removing oxygen to a compound
oxidation is gaining oxygen
reduction is to loss oxygen
