Seawater found to be seeping up through the canyon floor is why

scientists think Grand Canyon was once covered by an ocean.

Grand cayon is located in Arizona, United States and comprises of a lot of

fossil records and rocks which makes it one of the best sites for geological

study.

The Grand cayon was found to be seeping through its floor which made

scientists think it was once covered by an ocean years ago.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

0.218 M of Pb(NO3)2

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) --> PbCl2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 reacts to precipitate 1 mole of PbCl2

Molar mass of PbCl2 = 207 + (35.5*2)

= 278 g/mol

Number of moles of PbCl2 precipitated = mass/molar mass

= 12.11/278

= 0.04356 mol

Since 0.04356 moles of PbCl2 was precipitated, therefore by stoichiometry; 0.04356 moles of Pb(NO3)2 reacted.

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 liter of solution.

Molarity = number of moles/volumes

= 0.04356/0.2

= 0.218 M

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contains 0.900 ppm fluoride (F-). A) How many g o

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

a) 1.740 g of F- must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir

b) Grams of sodium fluoride, NaF, that contain this much fluoride:

3.84 g

Explanation:

Step 1. calculate the volume of the tank:

Volume of cylinder =

$\pi r^{2}h$ ,

Here r = radius of the cylinder = d/2

h = depth = 21.80m

$r=\frac{d}{2}$

$=\frac{3.36x10^{2}}{2}$

= 168 m

Volume =

$=\frac{22\times 168^{2}\times 21.80}{7}$

$=1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}$

2.Convert ppm to g/m3 and Solve for mass of F-

$1ppm = 1g/m^{3}$

$0.9ppm = 0.9g/m^{3}$

Because both ppm and g/m3 are same quantity .

$g/m^{3} =\frac{mass\ of\ F-(g)}{Volume\ m^{3}}\times 10^{6}$

$0.9 =\frac{mass\ of\ F-}{1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}}\times 10^{6}$

$mass\ of\ F- =1.740g$

mass of F- required = 1.740 g

3. Apply mole concept to calculate grams of sodium fluoride produced

mass of 1 mole of F2 = 38 g

mass of 1 mole of NaF = 42 g

(from periodic table calculate molar mass)

$2Na+F_{2}\rightarrow 2NaF$

Here 1 mole of F2 produce = 2 mole of NaF

So,

38 g of F2 produce = 2 x 42 g of NaF

38 g of F2 produce = 84 g of NaF

1 g of F2 produce = 84/38 g of NaF

1.74 g F2 produce =

$\frac {84}{38}\times 1.74$

1.74 g F2 produce = 3.84 g of NaF

3.84 g of NaF is produced

Consider the substitution reaction that rakes place when (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane is treated with methanol. Which of the follo

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The reaction would take place with racemization.

Explanation:

The compound (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane contains has the leaving group attached to a tertiary carbon atom. When the leaving group is attached to a tertiary carbon atom, the compound undergoes nucleophilic substitution via SN1 mechanism. This mechanism involves the formation of a planar carbocation intermediate. The nucleophile may attack this intermediate from either faces, leading to racemization of the product.

Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Which of the following would represent an ionic c

astra-53 [7]

The formula that would represent an ionic compound that is composed of calcium and iodide ions is CaI2

Explanation

Ionic compound CaI₂ is formed when Calcium form cation ( a positively charged ion) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form anion ( a negatively charged ion) by gaining one electron each.

When writing down formula of ionic compound, the formula of cation is written first followed by anion formula. therefore Ca is written first followed by I.

The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved in bonding.
